I admit it; I like going away without my wife sometimes.  And, I suspect she feels the same?  She occasionally wants to visit her parents, who live out of town, without having to worry about me.  After all, I am a helpless male.

Let’s face it; we sometimes like separate time and even separate vacations. I ended up being alone over Christmas for ten days and while I missed my family, I loved answering to no one.  And, for my wife, I know she needs that separate time, too.
