do you fiind this odd....

hi
do you find this odd...
one of my friend says that her husband likes to travel alone once in a year for a vacation,which lasts for a month..and he doesnt want to take any of his family with him and not even his friends,and just by himself.... and says he needs his space to relax during that time....do you find it odd..

His justification that he wants his personal space once in a while is fair enough. I would say, it is not too much to ask for if he wants to have some time away from work and family and relax for may be 2 or 3 days.

But wanting to get away from family and friends and to be all alone for 1 whole month every year sounds fishy to me. Why does he insist that even friends shouldnt accompany ???What does he do in this 1 month??
His wife may want to keep an eye on this and find out what exactly he does in this 1 month.

Ofcourse I find this odd!

My hubby wants his private space say for one hr or so and after than he will feel to lonely. Taking a month long vacation all alone is unbeliveable, something is definetly wront some where

If I were your friend, I'd hire a good background investigator to figure out exactly why her husband is having a month long vacation all alone.

Exactly !! That is what I also had in my mind when I said that your friend should keep and eye on what her DH does when he is on 1 month vacation every year.

it is definetly something fishy.... what would a man do for 1 whole month??

what kind of places does he go for these 'lone' vacations? just curious.

All of us need our space. there is nothing wrong in wanting some private time alone.

But, as some ilites have pointed out it is good to know what he does for a month and where does he go, this can definitely be shared with spouse.

1. Has he been on private outings before marriage too?
2. does his family approve of this behavior?
3. does he call, speak during this month long break?

my dad is like this; he likes to spend lot of time alone and tours many places alone, thats because mom and dad used to fight whenever they went out together.

Hope all is well, but always good and safe to know whats happening with DH

One month is a looooooooooooooong time i wonder what personal space he gets in 1month..15 days is also acceptable but 1 month is definetly odd

Did he juz say that or has he been doing that??
You know sometimes when we get fed up of family and a monotonous life, we ourselves wud say 'I wanna get away to an alien land for sometime'...atleast I say this whenever I get stressed due to people(relations/friends)...if this was juz a statement that he said, I wud hv probably thought that he juz was stressed out but if he was doing this, then a definite background check is recommended...
juz my 2 cents

Sure sounds fishy to meeeeee!


Looks like the story from an old mallu movie , where the guy religiously get out and goes for temple visit every month(for 3 days), though in reality he goes to meet his SECOND WIFE and kids. Your friend's DH might not be doing that , still If he's reluctant to do disclose the travel-details then, i would suggest you to advise your friend to be on guard and hire some detective to check on him while he's away.
