Do you go on vacations separately from your DH?

Re: QOTD 2/21

  • No.  We are inseparable.  In law school they called us "Chevan" (chad + evan...super clever, I know)

  • I guess it would depend.  If we were individually invited to an all guys/all girls trip, then we'd go and be fine with it.  But, we would never go on a trip without the other in any other situation I can think of.

    I can't think of any reason I would.  I've only been on one real trip though, and that was a road trip with me mom in 2009.  My best friends and I had talked about going to Ireland but I wouldn't want to go without H.

  • I would for a girls trip with my best friends. I've met them in Vegas sans DH before. And technically I have and will go back home to visit family for weekends sometimes without him. I prefer to travel with him though!

  • We are inseparable too. I think it boggles some peoples minds how much time we spend together. That said, we never travel separately with the exception of work last year.

  • We're pretty inseparable when it comes to trips. The last couple "vacations" I have gone on were with him and his family.

  • No, the only time H goes anywhere without me is his man-cation where he snowboards for the weekend and acts like a turd with a big group of guys. I just see that as being equal to me going away for the weekend with the girls for a bachelorette party, not really a vacation.

  • We have. I've been to bachelorette parties weekends without him, and sometimes and mom, aunt and cousin do a girls weekend at the beach.

  • Yes...fairly often, actually. I'm going to Georgia in April to visit family and he's not coming with, and when I go to conventions with my friends (because I'm a world-class nerd, LOL) he rarely comes along. I just don't feel compelled to drag him along for things he's less interested in than I am, especially since he doesn't like to travel as much as I do.

    Meanwhile, he's going to Virginia with his friend next month to compete in a Magic: The Gathering tournament, and no way in heck am I tagging along for that one!

  • I have. H isn't really a fan of travel. I went to Cuba with a girlfriend in 09. And I went to Hawaii last year for a school trip without H. We spend every day together, I don't see the problem with having some alone time either. He gets to sit around and play video games and I get to lay in the sun. win-win

  • I have before, yes. I last went to the Jersey Shore for a few days with my BFF.

  • I've gone away on a few weekends and overnights without him, but no where that he would want to go.  Last spring I went to my sorority's alumni weekend.  We went to the same college, but H has no desire to go back to the town.  I went over the summer to see New Kids on the Block in Atlantic City.  Once again, H has no desire to see them.

    I don't think I'd be comfortable going for like a week somewhere without him or him doing that without me.  I don't like the weekends away either though.
  • I wouldn't go on an extended vacation without him unless it was with my family and he couldn't take the time off from work. I would go for a weekend or something without him. I'll go visit friends for a weekend who don't live in town. We have discussed me going with one of our mutual friends out to Vegas with his family this summer. We've also discussed H possibly flying out for a while if I do go. (They're driving and renting a huge house with lots of room, H wouldn't be able to go for almost 2 weeks).

  • I would go on a weekend trip with my BFFs but that's about it.  If I'm going to go somewhere awesome, I want to share it with him.
