Hi. Long time lurker, first time poster.

39, 6'3'', 225#, business owner, homeowner, 1RM: DL: #410, BP: 260#, PC: #240#

Wife 36yo SAHM; we have two kids. Was never really beta, but definitely drunk captain.

Situation: We are departing on a weeklong working vacation to California ( I work, they vacation ) for which I've budgeted $4k - staying at a premier beach resort, Disneyland, dinners, etc. In the last week or two, wife has been acting extremely angry and disrespectful toward me and the kids. Very snippy, hostile tone, angry at the kids for, well, being kids. She has always, to some extent, exhibited this behavior, but it's become really severe recently.

I am tempted to call the entire thing off ( I can easily reschedule my work ) because she doesn't deserve the vacation I work hard to provide, but the older kid is looking forward to it, and I don't want to lose frame and act in a butthurt manner,

MRP dictates that I should A. Hold frame, don't be butthurt, STFU, continue everything as planned, but simultaneously B. Don't reward disrespectful behavior.

I am seeking advice for reconciling these two apparently conflicting dicta. Thank you all in advance.
