If you are married or in a long term realtionship would you be able to get way with ?

A 2 weeks holiday in the Far East with 8 of your mates, all blokes.

I am in dispute with someone I know as to whether it is normal or correct to go on a 2 week " lads " holiday for 2 weeks in the Far East whilst in a long term relationship.

I am not saying anything un toward will happen but will/would your partner " allow " or be happy with you going away on this type of holiday for 2 weeks.

I am of the opinion that is it pushing things to say the least. I am all for having your own friends and interests but I feel this is pushing it. My friend says in his circle it is normal and he is going ahead with it and has done in the past.

My friend thinks I am a pussy for baulking at this and my friends would not even consider it. Am I behind the times or is acceptable ?

Your opinions would be appreciated to clear up this point.

im off to india end of march with a couple of mates for a week, the mrs is fine with it.
shes going on safari for a week with her sister without me and im fine with that!!

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

In myopinion absolutely and totally wrong. Would I be happy for my wife to go? Absolutely not and what about the cxhildren? No no no... you make a decision to be part of family you can't just pop out for two weeks.

 

[defrocked priest]

Uncle Spielberg, I do wonder if your a tad insecure and a big pussy to boot.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Fair enough but a Lads holiday at the age of 40 is pusing it in my book. I could push a week end away, maybe even a week ski ing but 8 lads for 2 weeks in some exotic fleshpot ?.

 

[coventrygull]

i wouldn't want to be away from my Mrs for two weeks

 

[dannyboy]

as an aside to my reply , im 38 and we have a 2 year old. think a little break does you the world of good in my opinion

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

A little break, fair enough and its good to have your own interests but a lads holiday for 2 weeks with 8 other blokes how many guys could honestly say their other half's would be ok with it ?.

I agree with you as a 50+ y.o. A weekend yes. Two weeks? Not on ! Actually I'm not even sure I'd want to use up two weeks precious annual leave on something like that anyway.

The only way out is not go .....to "A fleshpot "......and offer,i mean pay for the love of your life to travel away.....f*** it your dead anyway !!!!

I am 46 and not in a relationship but in previoud relationships I would know my boundaries. Does that make me a pussy, my friend thinks so but I think it is pushing things very much.

My wife would be ok with it as she trusts me but I really would have no interest in going

That makes you pussy whipped.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Maybe but if you take something for granted it goes in my book. Would I be happy with my partner going away with 8 girly friends to some exotic location for 2 weeks probably not.

My wife would be far from happy, even if I had 6-8 weeks annual leave.

One of my best friends spent nearly a year travelling the world. Then a year after he came back, his girlfriend went on a year long journey.

But it depends on the type of relationship you're in. Not just about trust, but some couples like the independence, and the time apart, some can't bear to be apart for more than a day.

In May 2005 i went away for 5 days with a couple of mates. My gf was very peeved and barely spoke to me for 2 days after i got back.. and then i won £10k in the Coke competition and was miraculously forgiven!
