Navigating differing religious beliefs with your spouse is a delicate dance between conviction and compromise.

But when one partner’s principles clash with their husband’s chosen vacation destination, an uncomfortable conflict rears its head.

Read on for the full story!

AITA: Hubs is mad because I won’t go to a tourist place because of its religious affiliations.

I have been an atheist for a good long while.

They’ve had their longstanding reservations.

Even before I fully embraced it, I felt that this particular religion was too cultish. Not judging – it just wasn’t for me.

Which began to clash with their husband’s vacation plans.

Anyway, hubs is mad because I refuse to go to a tourist trap because this religion organization owns it.

They have several reasons for objecting to the activity.

It costs to get in, it’s a day long thing to see it and he’ll inevitably spend money there on food and tourist junk.

I know the profits go to back political candidates and agendas that I do not agree with.

But it’s causing tension in their relationship.

AITA for refusing to let go of my principles and convictions to appease him and his wish to go to this place?

Looks like clear lines in the sand have been drawn here.

Luckily, the stakes of this situation are low.

This couple should work to not let their differences divide them, even if it means splitting ways at the tourist destination.

Some things are just too important to compromise on.
