To go away without DH?

[Spicycurry]

I know a lot of people say they do/would do this but not sure.

DH doesn’t have any holiday left until next year. I don’t work Thursdays and Fridays and have friends in NI I’d like to see. Wondering about going to see them with DS maybe in November.

Would you?

He probably would. He does sometimes travel for work but seems a bit different, that’s necessary and unavoidable, this isn’t.

Have fun and meeting friends is necessary and unavoidable, you are separate people

I find it quite concerning you're even asking this question? Why wouldnt you go away without your husband?

Will your dh give you a hard time for this, or is it you giving yourself the hard time?

How old is DS? If he's 3 weeks old then yes, I could see your husband missing him if you leave for 4 days but if he's older then just suggest that uou want to go to NI on such and such date with DS and just go.

Why wouldn’t you?!

Will your dh give you a hard time for this, or is it you giving yourself the hard time?

I’m wondering this too.

Many couples spend time away from each other.

You could take DS or leave him with his dad so you get a proper break.

I find it strange you’d even question this. My DH and I are so independent, we’re always away on separate trips seeing our own friends, family, own hobbies etc. I travel
for work and try to tag on few days for sightseeing, always by myself.

Of course. We live abroad and I took my dd back to UK to see my family at least once a year without him plus trips by myself to see friends/family and girly trips away once or twice a year.

I know a lot of people say they do/would do this but not sure
I don't know anyone who wouldn't do this. If a friend told me they felt they couldn't do this or was questioning if it was OK like this I'd be worrying about her.

Of course! I wouldn't think twice...

How strange - why are you even questioning this? Do you and your DH never have any time apart? As for taking his son away for 4 days I bet he'll bloody love having the house to himself!! My husband takes our children to see his family every few months. I LOVE it! I enjoy every minute of peace and quiet and pleasing myself.
