I see you wrote "then-boyfriend"
Was that trip the proverbial straw?

They say that traveling abroad with someone is a really good test for long-term compatibility.

And here my mom always said the true test was hanging wallpaper as a couple...       Must be a generational thing.

Travelling with an SO is HIGHLY overrated. 

My last trip to the UK was completely ruined by my then-boyfriend.  I
paid all the expenses while he spent all his money on booze and
antique books.  Of course, he insisted that we had to stay in B&Bs. 
The youth hostels or inexpensive hotels weren't good enough.  You can
bet they would have been if we'd been travelling on his dime! 

On top of that, he whined when I wanted to do things that he didn't
and even made me cut short one of the things I had most wanted to do
(a walking tour of Shrewsbury based on a series of mysteries that I
read voraciously) because he flat out refused to come with me and
whined that it was "boring" to sit in a pub all day without me.  Of
course, we went to every freekin' ruin that HE wanted to see.

No, I'm not the least bit bitter about that trip...
