Dh has never stayed away from home before and im worried he may have seperation anxiety, get lost, feel homesick, not be ablke to sleep at night through worrying about me...im not sure hs really ready for an adventure like this!

And now the truth..

DH has been invited on his brothers Stag weekend, for three nights in Blackpool. Coincidently it falls on his days off in June so in theory he will be able to go... but Im not sure I want to be left on my own for 3 days whilst hes off boozing and having fun (I know thats selfish)

Im not worried about him being unfaithful as I trust him but I am worried they will go to strip clubs etc. In theory I wouldnt mind but in reality i would be very jealous and would probably be very upset (ridiculas reaction?)

Would you let your DH go? I know if i asked him not to go then he would stay at home but im not sure its very fair of me to ask him.

THREE nights?! How old are your kids?

I always look at it this way: would I do this to my partner? Cuz do unto others as you'd have them do to you.

If the answer is yes, then bon voyage. But tbh I'd have a girly weekend away on the cards if he swanned off to some stag do for 3 nights.

We have a policy to allow each other as much as fun as is practical (obviously within the normal relationship boundaries) so if it's practical for you to cope on your own then I think he should be able to go. Of course you should be able to enjoy a trip at some later date too. Why add to the limitations of parenthood any further than necessary?
As for strip clubs...you've either got a bloke who can be trusted or you haven't...if you have I say what harm does it do? Most men I know say that strip clubs are uncomfortable and a bit dull in reality.
