He booked a romantic weekend getaway. So sweet, right? But he chose a hotel whose famous breakfast buffet has NOTHING I can eat (severe nut allergy). He knows this. Do I say nothing or tell him he messed up?

Oh honey, this is the classic ‘but his intentions were good’ trap. And your feelings are still 100% valid. First, do not swallow this. Your safety and basic consideration matter more than his ego. But also don't attack him first thing in the morning. Here's the adult move: say exactly this — ‘I love that you planned this for us. It means the world. I'm a little worried about breakfast because I saw the menu has nuts everywhere. Can we call the hotel together to check if they can make something safe?’ This does three things: thanks him for the effort, states a fact (not an accusation), and makes you a team solving a problem. If he gets defensive or says ‘just pick out the nuts,’ that's a real red flag about his respect for your health. If he panics and apologizes — great, he's just clueless, not careless. There's a brilliant post on https://wisedate.org/blog/ about how to separate ‘bad behavior’ from ‘dumb but fixable mistake.’ You're not overreacting. But you'll know everything by how he responds to your calm solution.
