See Ya Next Week...Not...

As a matter of fact I spend this morning making hotel reservations for my daughter and myself in Las Vegas. We go every year. Hubby stays home to watch the pets and work. I will be gone almost 9 days. We stay in contact and he is fine with it. We both can use a break from each other. lol He has gone to visit his daughters in Idaho and been gone for a month while I stayed home. We both like the peace and freedom so it works out just great for us. Our kids are adults and we have no family in the house other than the cats and dog. He doesn't fly and we can't afford the gas to drive that far now. I can't wait; I love Vegas.

I have never had any problems being away from my husband(when I was married), no problems being away from any boyfriends. My kids spend the summer vacations about 1,500 miles from me and I'm good with that. They go about 2 weeks after school gets out and they come back in enough time to get them ready to go back to school. They need time away from me as much as I need a break. My kids have done this practically since birth, so we are used to it. I'm only a phone call away. Nebraska has an awesome hospital. The ones I worry about and can't be gone from are my dogs. Sound mean?? Well, they are the only ones who don't understand and who I can't reassure over the phone or e-mail.

I would miss my family if I went on vacation for a week now. Back when I was married to my ex we use to do that all the time. He would take our son and go visit his folks for a week or I would take off for a week to see my family. During the 4 years we were married between the military and vacations we probably only lived under the same roof for bout a year and a half. Now I might do that. A few years ago my husband went to London to visit his Dad for the week. I missed him but I was so busy I really didn’t notice that he wasn’t there LOL

I went to stay with my older daughter when she had her little ones but it was just a few days. I stayed with my younger daughter for a month before and after she had her first. At the time she was living in Phoenix and we live in Houston. My husband and I talked almost every day on the phone. He had to spend a few days away from home when he was working on a job in Austin. I thought I would enjoy the quiet but I did find myself at a loss of what to do with him not there. When I was out of town he at least had his daughter to pal around with.

My husband and I were apart for 9 months and it was totally hard, We just chat everyday. I don't like to go any vacation without him. It will be real hard and I know I will not enjoy that much! Now, that I am far from my parents and sister, I find myself crying sometimes but thanks to this technology that made life a little bit comfortable for long distance relationship!

As far as I can remember I have not stayed away from my kids and husband except for a couple of stays in the hospital. It was terrible but they could stay in the room at night. almost like a sleepover. My husband has been away from us for a few weeks at a time on jobs and it was pretty bad. No place like home with family

I have never been away from my husband due to vacations. My husband has had to stay in another city before due to work, but it was only for a night. I don't think I would ever go on a vacation without my husband and kids. I really don't want to be away from them anymore than needed.

If I'm remembering correctly, you ended up very upset last time you went, so if that is your spouse's reason for not wanting you to go, then I can understand. If this is not the same family that upset you last time, then I don't know if it is separation anxiety he is feeling or maybe he doesn't want to admit apprehensions about going it solo with the kids for that long. It is hard to say what I might do, but I can't envision my hubs trying to keep me from my family for any reason. Good luck with that, and if you end up going, go and enjoy yourself...try not to go dragging guilt with you.

I'd be very happy to be away from my spouse for a while. I think it's needed for sanity if I ever choose to get married which at this point is in serious doubt. I mean I'm 32 with no significant prospects in this department. In fact, I think if I married someone who needed to be around me all the time I might become one of those women you see on 20/20 who was arrested for killing their spouse.

Yes I would go for a few days but not for a week.I wouldn't have any kids or pets to worry about so I would go and leave my husband home "alone".While I am out of town , I assume he would be a bachelor reborn.

I am going to leave my spouse on Sunday ,and i will probably be gone for several days,maybe not a week but certainly several days..I will miss my hubby,my lap dog,my parrot,and cats ,along with my bed and my pillow,but i must go to Louisana to fixup my Dads grave site....Its not always something you really want to do but since i am going i am planning on having a nice time...i am sure i will be wanting to come home and be anxious to get back...I probably would worry quite a bit since your hubby is disabled,mine is in fairly good health,and i would worry if he was sick...I would not want to leave my husband if he were sick but hopefully he will manage..Of course i will miss him and all my pets ....I went on a weeks vacation once and left my hubby behind,since then i have only left him like 2 days before...My husband would never ask me not to go,he always supports my desires,if he cannot go ,he never stands in my way....

The longest I've ever been away from my spouse was when he left us. 3 months late, he came crying/begging me to take him back. It was actually quite nice here w/o him. Our daughter turned into the perfect lil angel when he wasn't here. Now that we are back together, she grew her horns back.

I have gone and spent weeks at a time with my daughter and grandson. I guess the longest was maybe a month? Since we have a dog now he went with me on my last trip to visit them and we stayed for 2 weeks. I think my husband and son missed the dog more than they missed me. Oh if I could go to Branson again I would love that. I went for a few days before with my brother and sister in law after we finished with a craft show in Ark.

I could not leave my kids, I would pine too much it is not something that I could even bear to think about! I have had to do it a couple of times when I was in hospital and it broke my heart. I could leave my hubby though that would not bother me too much.

There is no way that I could go away that long, unless it was because of an illness. We are always together.

Not on Vacation had to go stay with my mom for 17 days till she got back up on her feet. and other times his work took him away for months but I fund away to go stay with him a few times

I get away whenever I can, it helps keep me sane, or almost sane. I always go visit family, so I don't feel bad leaving my husband. I usually cook up a lot of extra food for him, and put it in the freezer where he can find it easy. I take my dog with me whenever I can, and she loves to travel. I've been gone for two weeks at a time, and I always have a great time, and I always love to be back home. I talk to my hubby every day while I'm gone, and I always leave with his blessing. If he didn't want me to go, I might stay home. I try to keep him happy, at least most of the time.

One entire week is more than enough for me. The house would be a disater is I go on vacation on my own for more than one week.

I was at my parents in S.D. for aweek while i left my new' husband at home in Tempe and I missed him so much I could 'barely stand it. we had not had our kids yet but I still missed him so much and my parents would not hear of me going back home before my week was up. they did not know yet that we had got married and I was too chicken to tell them so wrote them a letter after I got back home. I was thirty and my husband was thirty seven so it was not like we were exactly kids. my dad did not like myhusband and I felt bad about it but I did' like him and that was what counted. I do not think that my dad would have approved of anyone I married.But since he had lost' my respect as a child of seven when he molested me I did not really care.One molestation was all it took for me to learn to 'hate my own father. He betrayed mylove for him as a parent.

No I definitely wouldn't go on a seperate vacation. It would be something else if it had to do with family. I live in a small country so it's not like you have to cross a time zone or anything. You can get to most places in 2 hours by car anyway. It would also be different if it had to do with work. Work related travel is something I can understand. But just taking off for a week without your better half? Nope not for me. I wouldn't even consider it.
