I had a private room, with my own entrance. So I didn't even see my host, but I could here my host and other guest being underneath them. In the description of the home it was listed as a quiet, private, room

Sounds like you're the odd one then

My worst travel experience was on my first honeymoon, the trip shouldve let me know that the marriage was doomed.
Flight from btr to atl was delayed, we finally get to Atlanta, sprint across the airport to make our connecting flight to san jose and get to the gate just as they are closing the doors. Next flight was in about 8 hours, so we spent the first day of our honeymoon in the Atlanta airport.
Finally get to Costa Rica, first day there, walking around and end up at a little market. Buy some "weed", which very well couldve been grass, lol. Find a park bench, in a big "concrete" park (which turned out to be some national museum) and try to smoke out of this shitty pipe we bought and it was windy, so we struggled. A dude comes over and tries to sell us some more, like pestering us. I see police roll up, so i take out my camera and walk away from the situation and play tourist while dropping the bag i have next to a tree.
None of the cops speak English, im trying in my best broken spanish to tell them we have nothing and this dude is the one they want. After about an hour they take the dude in their paddy wagon and drive off and we walk back to our hotel (i went back and got the bag, lol).
A few minutes later the dude shows up at our hotel and starts hollering at us about him getting in trouble with the cops, luckily the hotel had security and escorted him away.
We went to the rainforest for a few days and everything was cool and then we went to tortugero to a small resort. First night there we get really drunk and pass out in our room. My bride wakes up in the middle of the night all freaked out, but she doesnt know why. We get up in the morning and turns out some local villagers cut the screen on our window and had robbed us. Apparently she had woken up and scared them and they only made off with one of our bags, which so happen to have our passports in it, but didnt get our wallets and drivers licenses. The german tourists in the bungalow next to ours had everything they had with them taken.
Had to leave tortugero 2 days early to head back to san jose to go to the US embassy to get temporary passports to fly home. Was quite nerve racking since the cops we meet earlier in the trip kept telling us they were gonna turn our names into the embassy.
Somehow that marriage lasted a few more years, but that should of been a huge red flag for the relationship.

I guess I'm just slow on the uptake, but I don't see how an unfortunate series of events out of your control could spell out that your relationship would end up a shambles.

Nothing truly, i just always found it funny.

I'm with you. The whole setup sounds weird.

Being different doesn't make you odd. Being normal is fricking boring

What a convenient thread for me to find today... So, any time my wife's aunt is around, it turns into a shite show. She's loud, obnoxious, not funny, awkward, and it always has to be about accommodating her and all that bullshite "because she has no one else." It's happening right now as I sit here typing this. I'm the opposite, I like to have a good time, but I stay in my lane and just let things happen naturally, especially on vacation.
We're in Orange Beach for a long weekend and the way it was supposed to work was she and her friends stay in the main house and the wife and I take the guest house. That means most of the day to ourselves, come and go without interaction, privacy, a lot of fun sex, all the things a young couple with no children could dream of. Great...
Rant: [ON] Off
Nope. Of course, her friends flake out and say they're not coming, and god dammit, now she's alone crying about how her friends aren't coming. I mean, son of a bitch, you're a 60 year old single person. You should be used to shite not working out in the social department. Go buy a book and sit on the porch and watch the waves roll in. frick naw, that's too simple. Now my wife thinks she's gotta join us in every activity aside from the sex or she might kill herself from loneliness. And I'm just like she seems to not cut herself when she's alone at home, why would she do it here... I don't see the difference... Anyway, I guess I'm just going to let them leave and go pound some golf balls at the range for a bit.
I'll probably get down voted for the cold hearted opinions, but it's all good.

Oof, that sounds horrible. But maybe you could drag Debbie Downer into a crazy new experience that would change her attitude? Surely even a depressive 60 yo could enjoy a few Bushwackers and some afternoon bingo at the Flora-bama. Or maybe convince her to take a ride on a JetSki with you? Parasailing....convince her to wear a bikini and go for a stroll down the beach; if full daylight is too revealing, then wait until full dark. Tell her she needs to do five things every damn day of vacation that she's never done before. Time for a "what the hell, I'm 60, let's do this" attitude makeover. Ya never know, you might drag her kicking and screaming into a better frame of mind.
IOW, have fun with her. Take her to the golf range, see if she wants to learn to hit a golf ball. Tell her to imagine her no-count friends as balls and whack the hell out of them. Do a crapload of fun stuff & text the pics to her missing-out-friends.
Jump off the Intracoastal Canal Bridge.....go streaking on the beach at midnight. Deep sea fishing? Make her eat sushi....or talk to 5 strangers in a bar. Write all this stuff on slips of paper and randomly select one each day.

Take your aunt to Naughty in Nawlins July 5-9th. Let her get hooked up with the swinger crowd
Posted on 6/25/17 at 3:35 pm to prostyleoffensetime
You could take her out crabbing. Poke a few holes in her and throw her in the surf. 
Just kidding. I feel for you. That sounds miserable.

So another story, the first was about my Airbnb which was horrible.
I'm at a bar in Portland (downtown) and talking with some locals. So chick (I think) overhears and starts making stereotypical south jokes. How we are slow, uneducated, stupid, etc...
I ask her if she could make 80-200k a year without a college education would she do it, of course she says yes. So I say that's one reason people can go offshore or work in a plant and make a damn good living. Then she starts talking about how there is nothing to do in the south and it is just boring. Again I bring up sports, fishing, hunting and she cut me off with the reply "redneck things."
I ask what is there to do here she says hiking, poetry, food, the lakes. I made an "oh similar stuff" comment that upset her.
After that I kind of ignored her but when she was leaving she loudly said it was my fricking fault Trump is our President. I kinda laughed that one off, not much I can do that wouldn't have escalated the situation worse. I think she was a barista or something with her nose ring, pink and purple hair, and sleeve tats though.

I'll never forget my first stop in Portland was a little bar that was maybe 400 sq ft but had probably 25 taps of local microbews. The bartender was really nice looking, but typical portlandia chick with partially shaved head, tatted up, etc. She was really cool. Then she goes to pour our beers, and as she raises her arm we see it. Unshaven armpits. Hard to get over that....
But you are exactly right, they hate hunting and fishing but they are very outdoorsy and like to hike, camp, offroad, etc. Like its that much different, I'm sorry I'm not vegetarian.

So it took a month but Airbnb has sided with me and making the host refund me for the days in which I had to get a hotel due to noise.

That's good.
I have a little update.
My wife spent the night in a Peruvian hospital earlier this month. Though, I had a whole full size bed to sleep there with her and watched "After Earth" on some Spanish channel. Boy did that movie suck.

Tiger Air flight from Singapore to Bangkok. Plane was taped together and people were smoking and fighting at the back. No flight attendants.
Was preparing for death.
