Would you go OOT without your spouse?

I'm giving this response a side eye.

I think you have a right to be upset. I would be upset as well if H went out of town without me. I think your H should have stayed home with you. I think it's great that you want him to have fun even if you have to work, but part of being married is compromising. I know that H would never go OOT without me, and vice versa. I just wouldnt want to be anywhere if I knew H was at home working. I would rather keep him company.

I'm sorry you're alone this weekend.

I have and I would.

[marynjoe]

Of course I would! And I do, at least twice a year.

hey that's from my post! I was the OP. for the record although I was complaining about DH going out of town, I did not in any way expect him to stay and I encouraged him to go. I just wish he were here because I'm bored.

I don't fault you for that. Especially because you know it would have been silly. I hope something entertaining happens for you.

ooo don't say that... I'm on call

I go OOT without DH all the time. He's a bit of a home body so if my friends are meeting up somewhere I go and he stays home.

IMO it's suuuuuper unhealthy if you can't do that in your relationship.

I think mollz's response was 100xs worse than OP!

I didn't see anything wrong with the OP. The response was insane.

[mrsjuleshs]

I did for my BFF's wedding, he did for a bachelor party and a few fishing trips. Oh, and DD & I do for cheer competitions. It is healthy to have your own life.

[imoan]

Way to be codependent! I love when people decide that their unhealthy relationship dynamic is what everyone else should strive for.

[Muddled]

Of course I would. And I would encourage H to go OOT without me, too. And have.

What is especially entertaining about that response is that she says marriage is all about compromise. Where is the compromise in a co-dependent relationship?

[kmw325i]

I go OOT without H fairly regularly. A whole lot more than he goes OOT without me. I wouldn't mind at all if he did, though.

FI has 2 trips planned this year, they are guys trips, I don't mind, he'll be gone for 4 days for each of them.

If i had a girls trip, he wouldn't mind. we aren't attached at the hip, but yes we will miss each other, we hate going to bed with out each other, but we both sometimes have to go away on travel for work so it's just something that we deal with.

[kellbell191]

We go OOT without each other all the time.

[formerlyak]

My bf goes on a trip every September to see an old friend of his. I think the friend is kind of annoying, so I wouldn't want to go anyway. But, I even if I did, I'd never stop him from going. Just like he would never stop me from going to visit my bff who lives in a different state.

And this summer, we are actually each taking vacation the same week, but going on different trips. It's just how it worked out this summer. No biggie!

[interro]

I have and would. So has and would he. I read him that reply and he looked pained.

[idris]

Have and would for me too. He has gone OOT without me as well.

[esdreturns]

Fuss - I'm dying. And of course I would go OOT without my H.

Me too.

[moonfrogx]

um, yeah, we each do it at least once a year! I go out of town for two events that are related to my volunteer work w/o him, and he goes on a golf trip with his buddies. The deal is we each have to save our own money for these trips, and timing has to be cleared with the who is staying home.

[partiallysunny]

Why wouldn't I?

[malibu]

Hoping to send H and DD to the cabin over the week of the 4th of July, since (see DL's vacation post) I am almost out of PTO. So yes, I would. I'd finally get the house cleaned!

[Creepylurker]

How can I miss you if you won't go away?
