MARRIED MEN , YOUR TURN!!?

I think both people should be able to have time without their partner to be with friends. My husband goes away with his mates every now and again..If he hasn't done it for a while I'll even suggest it.

Your wondering if men just want to get away from their wife and kids for a weekend? Of course every now and again they do! Its not personal, You can't spend every day of your life with the one person and not want to rejuvenate with some breathing space..Its not healthy to never be apart.

Once a year is not frequent. One weekend a year without him isn't going to kill you. Why don't you have a girls night when he gets back?

Compromise this is only a big deal if you make it one.

My husband will do this once a year or every other year. I had a 4 day girl's trip to Vegas in Aug and it was fun. It's nice to get away from responsibility and have your spouse take over the reins for a few days to give you a break. More than twice a year would be too much in my opinion. I also go dancing with a girl friend every Fri night and sometimes go out for appetizers and a drink, just to have some "Me" time.

I asked my husband, he said if we had the money for him to take trips to Vegas with a friend (a really good friend, not just whoever) and they were going for something, like to see a big UFC fight or something then we would also have the money for me to go fly down to Florida and spend a week with a girlfriend and stay in a really nice place and go to a spa or whatever, so that would be fine. He said, if your guy is just leaving to leave and saying he just likes to go out with the guys there is a problem. If you are getting out of town and doing whatever you want too then that's cool.

i dont think married men need to go on vegas trips without the wife,especially if you have kids,a night out at the bar with the boys is far enough.or a day trip to the woods hunting or fishing is enough,i been married 17 years

I think both men and women should get away from the pressures of home life once in a while. I don't know that you should place a number on it, but I think it is important in order to rejuvenate one's batteries.

In fact, in a perfect world I would like it if my mate would be the one who would bring it up based upon the changes she would see in me caused by stress...and vice versa.

Oh well...only in a perfect world.

Im not a guy. But my husband is a truck driver, he stays gone alot,

If he could have it his way, he would be stuck up my butt 24-7. He actually wants me to be a truck driver also, so we can team up and drive together. My husband is a very needy man. LOL

Good luck.

yes us men need to go out with the "guys" once in while but not like everyday if you know what i mean. like for birthdays and special occasion my wife lets me do that and we keep in touch but not too much because guys hate that when we are out

I have been married for 16 yrs we have been together for 20 . We have never had separate vacations. Neither of us wants to. We have discussed it but always decided we would rather go together.

Some of us "married men " wouldn't even think of traveling without our wives . Don't put all married men in the same pot.

NO! Marriage is a long time and you can get bored. All married men feel this way. You may like New York Strip steak, but when you eat it every day you get tired and may want just a burger sometime. the guy who vacations alone is the one who is making a fast food run.
