Romantic Places to Stay in Dallas/Fort Worth Area or Within an Hour or 2 Drive

I am giving you an update on a previous question to help understand why I am asking about a romantic place. I've been on a roller coaster ride with my husband on his feelings for me and wanting to stay or not. Finally yesterday he said that he doesn't know why he says the things he does...he can be really mean with his words (which isn't him). He did say that when people aske him if he has feelings for me, he says that he has been trying to deny them, but they are there. But he still doesn't know if he wants to stay or go because (at least this is my belief) if he missed out on playing the field when he was young and wonders if he is missing out. He did talk about an open relationship, which I quickly shot down. I think he is just so confused. Not sure if this is a normal thing or not. Forgot to say that we've been together for 12 years an married for 8. We have two little kids so it is overwhelming at times and we don't get to have a lot of alone time, so it seems like he was missing the excitment of just the two of us. I miss that time alone too. I am hoping that he isn't going to burst my bubble again, so I have been guarding my emotions, but have been fighting for our relationship. He is living with his sister at times and staying at the house also. He said that he thinks that he'll move back into the house but it won't be really soon. He said not to pressure him, which I am trying not to. He did say he would go away for the weekend, just the two of us.

Do you have any suggestions on a place to go? I want to reconnect and help him realize why we fell in love in the first place and his family is what he wants.

What can I do next?

I don't know your budget....

Hotel ZaZa downtown is really nice and has a spa
Crescent Hotel Downtown, good spa
The W
Alolphus, DIning there is awesome...very $$$ and jacket required
Gaylord Hotel in Grapevine

The above hotels are very nice, some quite pricey but they have couples packages as well.

Start having date night EVERY WEEK. We made a vow to never miss date night unless someone was sick. You don't have to spend a ton of $$ on date night. You might just want to enjoy a long walk with no kiddos.

Best wishes!!

They must have some B&B's in Granbury. That's a sweet little town! I wish you the best. It's so hard with young kids at home, but keep working at it! Date night is important. It doesn't have to be expensive...just hang out together once a month. I really wish you the best.

Sorry I'm so rushed here, but I remember looking at a few B&B's in Ft. Worth that looked great and have weddings there too. My husband and I went to one in Waxahatchie that was nice. They have a lot of them down there. Quaint town.

Course, they have couples retreats around the country that could be worth it. Also though it sounds like he may be one of those that always wanted an open relationship and you shot him down and now he yearns for that. He may even have someone of interest on the side that he wants to include. That I think needs some counseling for you two to work out. Certainly if you go away, you could have a few drinks and talk honestly and perhaps see if it would help to change things up a bit. Say, date night every week, going all out with dressing up (and getting ready in separate rooms). Anything else that you remember you two were into back before he proposed. .

Wildwood Inn in Denton is a VERY nice B&B. It looks like a mansion. You can request a specific room-- some of them have fireplaces in the bedroom/bathroom, spa tubs, etc. The property is treed, has a pool, and dinner is served on sight.
