Once a year, usually labor day weekend, my hubby, my dad, and our three sons all take a fishing trip, no girls allowed--well, we'd be allowed if we wanted to, but we give them the guy time! At the same time I take my daughter and my little sister and we have girl time--which of course means, shopping without any guys telling us they're ready to go home! LOL!
When my FIL died my hubby made several trips to his stepmoms to help tie up lose ends,
Other than that, we just don't WANT to have vacations apart! It's just more fun together! My brother and his wife take seperate vacations and it ALWAYS causes problems! EVERYTIME!!
If you really need a break that bad, and your husband is REALLY okay with it, then go ahead, I mean, it's just with your parents, right?! But I'd be certain that he really was okay with it, NOT BECAUSE YOU"RE AsKING PERMISSION, but because you respect each other and would want him to talk to you if HE was the one wanting to go!! As long as you both agree on it, and neither of you is just taking off on your own whenever you please, then it should be okay!

From a guy's perspective-Why not? I can only speak for my own situation (I am happily married and love my wife very much), but I think it is fine. I go on an annual weekend fishing trip out of state with some old friends. I would be pretty upset if I had to stop participating in that. My wife took a couple friends and extended a work conference in Vegas when I could not go. It's all good. Good Luck.

I think that it is perfectly fine to go on vacation without your spouse. I've joined my parents on trips when my hubby couldn't make it and it was very refreshing. Of course I missed him, but as you know, absence makes the heart grow fonder!
Best Wishes, Niki

Wanted to do a temp. check on if you all think it would be ok to go on vacation without your spouse.
Of course not with another person of romantic interest.
Situation:
My parents are going away and have extra room at where they are staying and offered to have me and my daughter stay with them. So as you can see no romantic interest here, just relaxation.
I don't know if I want to ask, but desparately need to relax and get away from normal every day stressors since the last vacation was over 2 years ago and was with Husband (to be at the time), step daughter, and MIL. Was a world wind tour at Disney and was not relaxing with work calling all the time and them arguing all the time. I am fried!
I think it would be ok, but wanted to just take a quick poll.
