On the radio this morning, people were calling in to comment on the fact that the radio personality's fiance went on vacation without him. Now mind you, I am a strongly opinionated individual myself, but I found some people's commentary ridiculous considering they didn't know all the facts. Most people calling in said the relationship was doomed since the couple wasn't taking vacations together and that they wouldn't last long. Hubby and I have been together (dating and all) for nine years and as those of you who read my blog know, I go on many vacations without him.
Are we doomed as a couple? I think not. I love to travel, but hubby does not. Instead of demanding I give up something I love doing, hubby supports my traveling with my friends. He always gets first dibs when I plan a vacation, but as soon as he says he's not interested, I'm off to discover who among my pals would like to see the latest exotic or non-exotic locale.
I personally have a unique situation in my marriage and get tired of hearing the running commentary sometimes. I know many people think hubby and I are insane to live the way we do, but really what choice do we have. Yes, it's not ideal, but we make the best of our circumstances. So before spouting your opinion on other people's relationships, maybe you should take a moment and realize ... to each, his/ her own.

I've been married 40 years and if it weren't for family dinners I'd never do anything with my husband. Over the years I've become quite contend with this and if he ever wanted to go to something with me, I'd probably go into some kind of panic mode. There are tons married people that live in separate homes and are still maintaining.
Mom makes me leave hubby at home when we go to visit her friend in Ohio once a year. He likes the Kevin-time and it gives us some mother-daughter time. But I have also taken trips with friends before. You have more than one relationship in your life!
