What are your opinons on taking a vaction with friends or FI/DH with his friends? A Coworker just gave me a 'What's he up to ' look and said a vaction with out you when I said FI was on vaction with his friends this week. I don't feel bad about him going away at all - Do some people get upset about this ? Just wondering because she kinda made me feel bad like he left me or something!

Don't feel bad! I think its perfectly fine!
I went on a vacation with my sisters two months ago and my DH was fine with that. We travel a lot together, but it doesn't need to be everytime. We're individuals and don't need to do everything as a duo.

Some couples like to do seperate trips with their friends.It could be because one person likes fishing and their spouse doesn't or one likes camping & the other doesn't. I don't think their is anything wrong with it. Me and my husband don't take seperate vacations but we have a lot in common. If he is going fishing,he will go out for the day with his friends.

its totally normal - FH and I do separate stuff all the time. We enjoy our time together as well as our time with other friends.
I don't understand couples who get together and then can't do anything without the other person.

Whoever gave you that look about your FI was just jealous that they don't have the trust in their own partner that a lot of us are lucky to have with our own! Pete is totally ok to go on his own when he wants - as long as I don't have anything planned for him that is!

Re: Seperate Vactions ????
Thank you guys soo much ... this co-worker usually has negative things to say so I shouldn't be surprised right ?
I like it that FH and I can experience things with out each other - I think it adds some excitement to our personal lives as well as our relationship.
I think it would be a concern if EVERY vacation was separate...but once in a while...its nice to get away...
since I am moving away from my family...my sister and 3 cousins are planning to meet in a city next year...just the 5 of us...like old times

Your co worker sounds like a jealous, insecure woman who does not have a life outside of her relationship.
It is perfectly normal to do things separately as long as it is not all the time.

We do it all the time. ( that does not sound right) Meaning at least one of our trip each year is w/o each other. ) In Feburary my GF and I went to London and Paris and Hubby and a GM's went to Trinidad. As long as you both are comfortable with it, its all good.

We just went away to Bermuda on a cruise in October - And I went to NC with my family last June he couldnt come b/cause he just started at a new job... so I guess we do go away together half of the time. We also live together so I see him Every waking moment!!!!
This lady that I work with dosent have a relationship she is miserable.

If you and your fi are comfortable with taking seperate vacations....then that is all that matters. Tell everyone else to mind their own business.
