Planning a Miami weekend...?
My fiance and I are planning a getaway weekend to Miami for Memorial Day weekend, but we're on a shoestring budget and have a few weird requirements... 1) Not too much walking - he has cerebral palsy, and over time, that much walking is excruciating. 2) No beaches/ waterparks/ swimming etc We're looking for something fun and cheap. I've heard of a local winery, also looking to see if there's a tour we could take. We're thinking about visiting Coral Castle... is it worth it? We're willing to pay a little more for something that's really worth it and is going to take up a few hours, but it really doesn't make sense to me to pay $30 for a 45 minute gator cruise. Help us out!

Tell me if I can save my 3-year relationship...?
Here goes...been together for 3 years. Everything was great until recently and unsure why. I went away for Easter (Thurs-Sunday) to see a friend who is going through a tough time. I realized while I was gone how much I love my BF and that maybe sometimes I take for granted. So, last four days I said nothing negative and was upbeat and positive. I told him I wanted to plan a getaway weekend this weekend for us and I would pay for everything - he wasn't into it and somehow (without an arguement) that conversation ended in him going to the other room and shutting down and ignoring me. I left for two hours to be alone. He didn't call or ask questions when I returned. 7 hours later and still hasn't spoke to me. Went to bed jsut now without a word or I love you. I don't even know what happened and I am really puzzled. I can't keep living like this. I feel less and less loved and appreciated each day and I want the old "us" back so bad I could cry. I don't know what to do and he seems to be immature to me - I mean what happened to talking out your problems. This is happening frequently and it never happened in first 2 years. I am thinking about writing him a long letter telling him how I feel but I don't know how he will react. I feel like we need to take a break but not break up because something is obviously wrong. But we live together. What should I do?
