His Vacation Week

I do not find it weird for him to go alone to see his family, especially if your going would mean that he would have less time with his family. He can have a lot of quality time with each family member without feeling rushed to do everything in just a few days because of being whisked away to your family's home! Besides, that leaves you at home alone to be on myLot till your heart's content!! Ha!!

Family is so very important. You never know how much time we will have here on this earth. My husband has lost both his parents to cancer already. We made time to visit them when they were alive so we have no personal reqrets. Regrets are hard to deal with when they are gone.

My husband has gone home to visit with his family and I have stayed home. I see nothing wrong with it at all. He has a great time with his brothers mostly. I think he does things with them that he would not do if I had gone along. His sisters are all alot of fun, but I think he feels more able to reminice when I am not there. I do have a good time when I do go with him , but he always is worried that I don't feel left out. I think it is wonderful to see family on your own .

My wife and I have done this a couple times, if money was tight...She had me go down for my brother's wedding a few years ago...Then, I went down to see family and friends for a concert; she wanted to go but couldn't get time off work because it was too close to Easter. She works for a seafood company, and from the first of the year until the end of Lent, no one is allowed time off because it's their busy season since they sell to a lot of predominantly Catholic countries. The weirdest part, for us anyway, was sleeping alone. You just get used to having that other person there beside when you fall asleep or wake up, that the first couple nights can be restless. I could see him going alone if you can't get the time off work or if money's too tight for both of you to go, but otherwise, I know with my family anyway, it would seem a little weird that you both didn't come.
