Aruba Syndrome

Definition

The bittersweet inability to fully enjoy a romantic vacation destination because your partner isn't there to share it with you. Named after couple-focused resort destinations, it's that hollow feeling when you're surrounded by honeymooners while eating your complimentary breakfast alone. The scenic sunset just hits different when you're taking selfies instead of couple photos.

Example Usage

The Maldives resort was gorgeous, but I had major Aruba Syndrome the whole time since Sarah couldn't get time off work.
