Poll: Travelling seperately

What are your opinions of vacationing without your spouse or your spouse going away without you?

DH & I just had a huge argument because I went away last weekend with my sister and another friend.

He feels that a married couple should never ever vacation seperately unless there are extenuating circumstances. That's the way his parents were.

Mine went away seperately sometimes. My father had tons more vacation time then my mother ever did and would sometimes go away by himself for a few days or a week. Plus my mother's family lived in south jersey and she would go down there by herself over for a weekend here or there. That's how my parents were.

I am not saying I would go away with the girls all the time or even every year, but I am little put off by the fact that he expects that I never ever as long as I live go away without him (the extenuating circumstances he listed would never apply). And I wouldn't stop him from going away with his friends if they were so inclined.

Sorry this is so long. I am just bothered now because I feel like there's this big judgement on how my parents relationship was and I am taking it very personally (aside from being annoyed that I am expected to stop doing something I have done for most of my adult life.)
