Would it be ok with you if your partner spent a weekend away? Would you plan to be away at the same time? Me? if my guy said I'm doing a guys weekend away I would say ok, just call me when you leave and when you get back. I don't have too many girlfriends but I would plan something fun to do. How about you?

I had a girlfriend who said to me "I like that my friend feels free to do what he want". She based the relationship in the trust to each other. I think she was right.

We have been together for 6-7 yrs and married for 5. This has only come up once. His friend wanted to take him to a city about 1-2 hrs from us. He told his friend that he would not go with him unless I was going as well. That was when we first started dating. We had 2 tickets to a Texans game last Saturday. My brother wanted to go though. I asked my husband if I could just give my ticket to my brother since he had never been, he said no. He was not going to go without me. I am not saying that this will never come up. I just know that so far it hasn't. We do everything together. Except grocery shopping lol. That is all on me. If it were to come up, I honestly don't know how I would react. We have a really close relationship. I have hard time being without him when he has to work nights lol. So I guess I am not really a good person to try to answer this lol.

If it were up to my guy, we would be together 24/7. But if he wanted to hang out with his friends , I wouldn't have a problem with it.

I wouldn't have a problem with it at all. Like you, I would want a phone call when they arrive there, and when they leave to head back home, but just for 'safety' measures, to know that they arrived safely, and to have some indication of when they should be arriving back. I have my hobby of scrapbooking, so that would keep me busy, as well as going to garage sales, junking, or just watching movies.

I don't have a problem if my girl took a weekend away. She sometimes likes to go visit her sister. I might not actually plan anything for me. But I can call my friend and go hang out somewhere. But I do like having alone time to. It all depends with me. And I am sure she would not mind me hanging with my friend and doing things. It's all cool.

It's completely fine with me. Before he leaves i would remind him not to cheat, LOL, or he would regret it for the rest of his life. Then I would plan some fun activities for myself, maybe spend the weekend visiting my girl friends, go to the mall and shop if I have money and many other things.

I think it is fine to spend a weekend away with our friends.Sometimes this is reviving for couples and give them some space so as to miss each other. In such case i would try to do something fun with my friends or family.

My partner is away a lot for work, and recently he's been away on a couple of courses too. I guess I'd be miffed if he wanted to go away without me, but only because I've seen so little of him recently. Other than the practicalities of childcare and those sort of things, neither of us have any real problem with the other being away. I haven't really got too many girlfriends to go off with, but I was away for seven weeks last year on a course and he managed fine without me.

Sounds like you two need a weekend alone together! I got the idea for this post watching a wife tell her husband she was going with her sister out of town but she balked when he said he was going out of town during the same time! Totally different from you two.

Is there a way the kids can go to a sitter and you and Hubby got out to dinner?

Alone! What a wonderful thought! Perhaps we'd have time to talk without someone interrupting.

It would be ok with me too. My b/f is actually planning to go away for a week or so to see family and friends in Indiana. I can't get off work right now because of the busy season thing and I have no problem with him going. If I had to worry about someone and what they were doing when they weren't around me, they wouldn't be the one for me anyway.

I see nothing wrong with this. I think it is a good idea. I would feel smothered otherwise if my man was around all the time! I know! I have been there! I don't have a lot of girlfriends and I have not been on a all girl weekend as of yet! Someday that will happen! I just need to do more planning!

Don't wait too long, get your friends together and do something fun. It doesn't have to be a actual trip out of town, just get together.

Yes, it is okay with me if my partner spend a weekend with his guys as long as he will not do something bad. Also I will trust my partner in all the things he do. I don't want to stop him. What I will do is that I will just keep track of his weekend affair.

For me a weekend I probably wouldn't go but a night out sure I would for a girls night or something. I'm sure hubby wouldn't go away for a weekend but a night. He hates being gone for long times so I think for him a night out only makes him happy and I'm cool with that. As long as I get a text here and there that he is okay or when he is on his way home. I like know when is on his way home even when he gets off of work.

Ok. I have not experienced a situation where my partner chooses to spend weekend away with his friends rather than me but if it would happen, I would agree him to go out and I keep myself busy, not necessarily going out with friends but I would look for something else fun to do.

yeah, its ok with me, we should also give ourselves time to spend it to whom we like, just to give a little space with each other i guess. =)
