To suggest he goes on holiday with his ex and DC

My partner wants to go on holiday. I don't. They have three children together and I know they all love going to a particular holiday destination - it gets mentioned quite a bit. They get on well and the children would love it. Is it crazy to suggest? I wouldn't particularly like it but I'd get the house to myself which I'd love! They'd get to spend time as a family again and enjoy a holiday. And before anyone asks, no I wouldn't pester him everyday. I'd probably just ask for a "got here safe" message and an idea of when he will be back.

Holidays are just that though. A break from the routine. Boundaries are different on holiday They eat and stay up late because that’s normal from holidays.They swim everyday, have ice cream everyday whatever.
If Mum and Dad are in holiday together because it makes life easier that’s just what the two weeks looks like.
Back to normal when they are home.
And I’m with you Op. Nothing beats a quiet hone for a break.

I think you are amazing and a very emotionally generous person. I am sure the kids would love it. In reality if you trust your partner, and it sounds like you do, there is no reason to worry. They separated for a reason a long time ago.
