Being mean about it won't help. Be loving.
Im not going to be mean. Wouldnt do any good anyway. Im throwing in the towel and Im going to ask for separation. This incident at least tells me where I stand. I dont see myself struggling through this for the next 10+ years.

A man who has killed the romance at home, is not getting a connection because he decided to buy some plane tickets.

Maybe a week off, staying at home, working on cleaning out the garage, helping around the house, take care of kids, would be a starting point. And actually talking about the issues. Then, resolve them, and plan a trip.
My ex put me on ignore, for months, then took me out to an expensive dinner, I literally had nothing in common with him, or anything to say to him. He was a stranger. How can you have sex with a literal stranger?

Without us knowing how you got to this point, our responses are useless. What about ocnjgirl's reply? Any of that hit home?

Too many historical and beautiful places in Europe to even consider traveling to Hawaii IMO.
Hawaii is close to me. If I could afford it I'd go to Europe too.

Keeping the romance alive is so important in a relationship and it takes TWO. I see wives being the culprit just as much as husbands when it dies but husbands are not as adept at expressing their emotional needs as wives are so it makes it seem like its all the husbands fault because the wives can express it.

Sometimes one partner does kill the romance. However, that can be the the one who lost interest just as well as the one who didn't. And often, there's a bunch of stuff going on that conspires to kill the interest in one or both partners.

Since we know nothing other than the OP's hope that Hawaii would rekindle her spark, this one is ripe for people to fill in the blanks with their own interpretations/projections.

Married how long? Children? Tried talking it out?
This sounds so like, "I freakin' brought you to Hawaii-----now f#*k me". Won't work.
