What are your thoughts on "Guy Trips"?
Just curious what everyones thoughts are on guys only trips.
Would you mind if DH went on a 4-7 day trip without you?
Are there certain places you wouldnt be comfortable with DH going with a group of guys?
Other general thoughts on guy only trips?

Re: What are your thoughts on "Guy Trips"?
My DH takes a guys trip every now and then, but it usually isn't for more than 2 days or so. I don't know how I would feel about anything longer than 4 days. He doesn't get paid vacation, so we rarely take trips as a family. I can't really justify him going on a trip with the guys for a week, when he couldn't even miss work for a week when our kids were born.
I don't think there would be anywhere that I would be uncomfortable with him going.
Married the love of my life 6/3/06
Became a family of three 8/25/09
I wouldn't mind a bit if my DH went on a few days' trip with his friends. I think that would be fun.
I can't imagine him going anywhere that I wouldn't want him to go.
Honestly, I'd probably be a little jealous that I wasn't going. DH went camping earlier this spring with a few of his friends, and I was fine with that. It was cold, rainy, and not something I would have been wanting to do.
DH gets to go to conferences for work to places like Florida and California and it totally sucks that I can't go with because of work. But, at the same time, I would expect him to be fine with me leaving with friends if I wanted to.
I wouldn't mind at all - in fact, I'm going on a "girl trip" with my best friend in a couple of weeks, without DD or DH. If he wanted to do the same, there would be no problem.
DH goes to his family's cabin for 3-4 days quite frequently. I used to go with him in college, but now that we're married, I don't have to pretend that I enjoy it anymore and can happily stay home.
I wouldn't want him to be gone for more than 4 days now because toddler twins require the both of us. I'm sure it'll be better in a few years. Pre-babies, no problem though. More trashy television for me!
Last year DH went on a Golfing trip with 4 other guys for 3-4 days in Phoenix. I didn't mind because I trust him and I guess I'm so used to him being on game roadtrips anyway that it was just another week he was gone.
Places I wouldn't like if he went would be places I would really want to go. ie Hawaii, tropical islands, etc. I think I would probably be fine if he would go to Vegas but I would struggle with if they went to a strip club only because he knows I don't care for him to go to those types of joints.
I guess it depends on your level of trust with your DH.
My husband usually takes 1-2 a year. One is with the guys in my family to SD hunting and the other is with his HS buddies to a cabin. Neither bother me in the least. This year he won't be going on any because he has no vacation time to use. I would be pissed if he planned one knowing that he needed time off with the new baby but that's the only reason.
I would be ok with him going just about anywhere. I just wouldn't want him going someplace super fun without me
love is for every her, love is for every him, love is for everyone
DH would never go that long on a trip. He does a lot of weekend trips with friends. They've gone to Colorado to visit other friends, Genoa - 4 wheeling trip twice a year, and he has gone for Nascar races and other 4wheeling places for the weekend. I would be pissed if he went to the beach or somewhere (which he never would do).
Overall I'm happy when he goes on these. He comes back so much more relaxed and I think it is good for him to be with just guys for a few days. My only complaint is I get really nervous when he does 4wheeling trips because he is known to always get hurt in some way and it scares me.
We've both taken trips without each other. There is no trust issues, so it's not a big deal. I think dh worries more about me when I go then I do when he goes.
I fully support guy trips, but I would side eye a need for more than 4 days away for something not work related. Before kids, no, after kids, yes.
A weekend to go see the Huskers somewhere or a Vegas trip with friends is about as crazy as my DH gets. As long as I get my weekend or two away each year, it's all good. No trust issues over here.
