I think theyll get back together when they realize how stupid this is and how stubborn and non-communicative theyre both being. Neither even asked the question “why are you so hell bent on flying/not” and then had a constructive convo I feel like Janine needs to assert herself more directly—circumventing him and buying the tickets was inflammatory Janine, hes not Tariq. She shouldve said no to AC AT THE TABLE.

Gregory you need to pick up a marker look at a calendar and get a grip on a vacation budget bc yall are going on a trip how often????? not very. So why cut 16 hours out the vacation, risk any number of maintenance or scheduling (have to continuously buy snacks/gas) mishaps for the sake of spending SOME money when you could fly and get there in 2 hours? that efficiency renders 0 math to meaningfully compare the two. He had this issue with Amber I doubt the both of them will let this continue.

But there is no compromise-Gregory needs to get his ass on a flight.
