This is my feeling. If my SO is taking a week long vacation that isn't work related, with a woman other than me (ESPECIALLY one on one), they had better be related by blood. Some people have more flexible boundaries, but those are mine.
Mr Mod just called to say he was flying me to Chernobyl using his airmiles. And I'm probably going to peek when they make us do the chemical showers.

Well, me too. But just because I have different boundaries than you doesn't mean they're wrong.
I will say that I think if it's a visit back to the UK and the OP can't go, I see that as a lot more understandable than jetting off to Sandals (which I would sabotage before I let happen).
I also think that part of the reason Brett and I are more, I don't know, I don't want to say relaxed, I don't know what other word to use, about opposite sex friendships are because we grew up together and we know each others' friends so well. Because if he all of a sudden said he was going off for the weekend with a friend he knew from work that I barely knew, I would react a lot differently than when he goes to visit his best friend from high school for the weekend.

Really what I was trying to say is
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND REAL LOVE, TRAPPED IN YOUR CONVENTIONAL MARRIAGES.

I am on the same page as Mod and SB. When I think of it as "random opp sex friend" it seems fishy, but then I think of real life examples in my own life and I think, "Oh yeah, in that case, that wouldn't be weird at all." I really think it's a case by case basis, like Mod's example of being in the UK already when you're partner is at home in the US, one person having more vacation to burn, some kind of destination event like going to the World Cup or a music festival that your partner wants to go to but you'd have no interest in. As long as it's talked out and everyone is 100% trusted, I don't see the big deal. If someone wants to cheat, they will cheat at home or on a trip.
-signed, a girl with a buttload of guy friends and I worry that I will have to deal with lame jealousy issues regarding this if I ever get around to dating.
