If you are married or in a long term realtionship would you be able to get way with ?

Excellent posting GLOVER, and what I have missed most about NSC.

You have to be strong in this situation, I am off at Easter for a week of GOLF with 29 lads and its just simple as far as I am concerned, you just go regardless of what they think because you just know deep down its going to be a good holiday.

Maybe its the Thailand part thats causing concern, if I were you I would have just told her you were off to Bognor!

4 out of 19 think its on.

 

[defrocked priest]

Maybe but if you take something for granted it goes in my book. Would I be happy with my partner going away with 8 girly friends to some exotic location for 2 weeks probably not.

That's your insecurity talking Uncle Spielberg. I sent my first wife many times on trips with the gals because I trusted her. The best part was when she returned home she'd be so horned up she'd ravage me until my groin ached.

So my dear, was was it that attracted you to £10,000 richer Aaron Berry?

Golf with some mates in the UK is different and I doubt its for 2 weeks.

LOL! Out of kindness, i never ribbed her about it... cos she'd only deny it anyway!

Why do you assume I am insecure. Its about boundaries and not taking the piss.

Its for a week in the capital of Whoring, Puerto Banus!!

Good thread. Can be a dilemma, this sort of stuff.

For what it's worth and in my situation (married, one young daughter) I think the two-week holidays with mates may be a thing of the past, and I don't even begrudge it. I've sort of done that, and I'd rather spend the time with my family for long holidays.

However, I would definitely get a pass out for days out/short breaks for golf or the odd euro football trip.

A couple of us (very) occasionally get used by the travel desk at work for the odd piece. The guy next to me, because he was prepared to at short notice, went to Tahiti for 10 days leaving his wife at home. Had a brilliant time, obviously (hammocks, cocktails, snorkelling). I got a long weekend in, err, Leeds - BUT got to take my wife and stay in a five-star hotel and have a couple of meals in decent restaurants. His was the trip of a lifetime, but he's been getting grief from home ever since.

You've been gutted by your ex and I completly empathize with that.You have your guard up and I am guessing being cynical. Trust has no boundries.

She was probably thinking about the guy she had shagged on Holiday

 

[jevs]

No....you shouldn't want to either if you're married or in a long term relationship.

Time to grow up

That bitch !!!

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

It all depends on the relationship , if there is trust between the two partners then it shouldn't cause a problem. What would happen if a group of blokes were all going to the World Cup the other side of the world and left their wives/birds behind instead of a 2 week holiday ? Would this be acceptable ?

 

[emphyrian]

i flew to the states in december for some NFL action and my wife was ok with it as long as called each night when she was putting my son to bed. was only for six days, but as long as the relationship is a strong and trusting one there should be no problem at all.

Virtually my first act as a married man after the honeymoon was to go to the World Cup for two weeks in Germany.

But to be fair, such is the interminable ticket ballot procedure, I'd applied long before I proposed.

As a female, I would say it depends on the context. If there was enough money/time to allow him to have 2 weeks in Thailand, me 2 weeks with my mates somewhere equally exotic, and us 2 weeks somewhere equally exotic too, then I would be ok with it. However, if there was only enough money/time for us to have 1 x 2 week holiday, and he chose to go away with his mates and not me, meaning I miss out on a holiday at all, then no chance!!

I trust my bloke 100%, so wouldn't have any problem from that aspect, but it would be more about 'if he can do it then so can I', and if I can't then neither can he!

 

[Adam Virgo's Shirt]

On that note, I am owed a trip to see some male strippers after he went to a lap dancing club while away for a weekend with his mates!

 

[footychick]

Not for 2 weeks, no. A week I could just about cope with.

 

[R. Slicker]

Don't see a problem, just because you are in a relationship doesn't stop either of you being a person. I go away every other year for 7-10 days golfing in the states & the wife goes away later in the year. In between we go away together & neither of us has ever seen a problem.
