My husband just told me he planned and payed a trip to Rio, (it's kind of a tradition for us by this time of the year, but is usually 2 days, this one will be 6 days)during a long holiday we will have in my country.

He is so excited that he took the itinerary on his own hands(usually I do that). I just keep remembering myself now of our last big trip together during our anniversary that was a disaster. We used to take trips unconscionably to fix marital crisis. So, I am freaking out about the souvenirs of the latest one.

These trips to Rio hasn't been blemished yet and I do not know how to react other than freezing, because we have always had a great time there.

I don't want to expect anything. I do not want to rain in his parade and be a spoiled woman. But I am afraid some of the good times will not return that easily and that I will freak out.

I can't help myself. Before, when we went there I was kind of sure of his feelings and I didn't care about the good looking ladies around. It's not like I feel unattractive but it's like a competition between my city (Sao Paulo) and Rio just as New York and LA. It sounds superficial but how can I not be crazy with jealousy now that I know he thought and took action on someone else different than me?

Please, batter me on my shallowness. But any helpful thoughts?
