As many of you know, I was recently on vacation.\u00a0 \u00a0My husband and I went to the Iowa State Fair in the rain, and after that I went to Omaha for a few days.\u00a0 Among the places I visited were Omaha Zoo, several museums, and the famous Bob footbridge.<\/p>\n
But, as usual, both my husband and I had people talk about my husband “letting me” go out of state alone.\u00a0 The same thing happens when he goes on trips without me.<\/p>\n
What the actual fuck?\u00a0 Do THAT many people have severe trust issues in their relationships?\u00a0 What else would be the reason having that reaction?\u00a0 I understand people not understanding the appeal of a solo vacation (but if you haven’t tried it, you REALLY should).\u00a0 I can even understand people who don’t know us well wondering if there are issues in our relationship (there aren’t).<\/p>\n
But I can not and do not understand the concept of “letting” your spouse leave their sight for more than a couple hours.\u00a0 I feel REALLY bad for people who have relationships so lacking in trust and basic respect for each other that this mindset makes sense to them.<\/p>\n
Simply put, if you do not feel comfortable with your spouse going away for a few days without you, you really need to reevaluate your marriage and probably look at some counseling.\u00a0 \u00a0You’re the one with the problem.\u00a0 Not me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
