Married 10 years. You couldn't pay me to crash a girl's trip. That's prime ME time, too.

Literally on the husband's side of a girls trip right now and I was thinking the same thing

Yeah. I love my GF but...

She reassures me she won't stay out later than 10pm or she'll be back from the trip by sunday. And I'm like "No no, stay as long as you want. PLEASE"

Time away from each other is absolutely necessary and doesn't mean you don't love them.

I wfh and my wife is stay-at-home. On the rare occasion she goes out with a friend, she keeps updating me on everything she is doing, almost minutes by minute. I'm like, "Leave me alone. I'm trying to play this game." Lol.

Yeah we very rarely do it, our kids are still pretty young and we guilt ourselves about any time not spent outside of work as a family. But every single time one of us has a reason to do it that forces our hand, we have the conversation after about we should do this a little bit more often.

Can you explain this to my wife? She doesn’t believe me

The house without the wife is great for a week. After that my clingy ass gets a little sad.

The longest we’ve been separated was 2 months due to work. That was hard.

A little bit is medicine. A lot is poison. I get it

I wfh and my wife is currently a stay-at-home mom. She hogs the living room TV, where my "office" is situated. I need her gone so I can watch what I want, lol.

Your mom doesn't like Wendy's.

My wife had to cancel one last month because of an illness and I was bummed for both of us!

Right. And like if you showed up and gave me a kiss on the head that's fine. But like what is he going to hang out for the rest of the week.... I wouldn't care. I love him. He's my best friend. But I would feel personally offended and upset for all the other girls who did not want my husband on the trip. That would be just fucking rude and weird... Like I'm sad I can't bring him on girls trips. He's my bestie... I don't really care if he's there. It's about the other people too!

My wife is 3000 miles away on a girls' trip.

I miss her, but am VERY glad she's having fun away from me for a while.
