Today, my husband told me that he can't find his passport. We're supposed to be leaving for Prague in two days. He's known about the trip for months. It was the anniversary vacation that was going to help our frayed relationship. Now my money is going to a hotel in Prague, but I'm not. FML

sometimes you can get your congressional rep to expedite one for you!

Definitely go with a friend/by yourself. if he doesn't shape up after you get back, ship him out!

Such a shame, that you're an idiot and you don't know that both UK and Czech Republic are in the European Union and you actually need just and ID to cross the border between these two countries.

But who says OP's husband actually has an ID pass? Most people I know either have a passport (if they occasionally travel outside the EU), OR an EU ID pass (if they don't), but not both...

Czech Republic is in the Shenghen, you don't have to have a passport! Come just with the driving licence!

The Czech Republic may be in the Schengen zone, but the UK isn't. Therefore, OP's husband would still need to show valid ID/passport upon leaving and re-entering his own country :)

the Czech Republic is part of the EU, do you even need a passport?

and this people is why you keep them in a locked keep safe box.... lol

if your husband were to care abt your relationship he shld have kept his Passport somewhere he will remember!

Am I the only one who noticed they still have TWO DAYS to find the passport? Instead of giving up and getting mad, why don't you help him find it? Why aren't your passports in the same place anyway? I can't believe everybody is jumping on the husband's case here. Sometimes people lose things, it happens. It's not like he just started looking when the cab is outside to head to the airport.

#61, we have reason to blame OP's husband. Clearly this trip was planned for an important reason, and if he didn't think to put his passport someplace where he wouldn't lose it, it clearly isn't a big deal to him. Yes, people lose things all the time, but if it were important to him to make it on this trip and try to help his marriage, he would have thought ahead and left the passport someplace where it wouldn't get lost. So while I understand your point, I disagree with it. Yeah, they have time to look, but if the husband had wanted to go and save his marriage he wouldn't have lost the damn thing to begin with.

Or maybe he HAD it someplace where it wouldn't get lost, but has since started packing, and didn't put it where he thought he did after that. And they DO still have two days. It should be possible to find it by then. There's a reason they're having relationship issues, and I almost guarantee it is not JUST because of him.

I don't think it's fair to say "if he cared about the trip/marriage, he would know where it is." You don't know how everybody thinks. It is possible that he cares very much about the trip, but didn't associate the trip and the overall goal of saving the marriage with details like the passport because he's disorganized. Or maybe he just assumed he knew where the passport was, so he didn't think about it until it was time to pack and then discovered it wasn't in the right spot. I still maintain two days before the flight is the wrong time to post this FML, because there is plenty of time to find it. For a lot of people, especially men I think, two days IS thinking ahead.
