The OG has just set off for a week walking with an old friend! Yippee a week of pleasing myself, eating when and what I like (not having to produce meals to fit in with his social activities!)
Starting with a session of Tai Chi this afternoon ( I've seen all the recent publicity). That should restore the balance!
Sorry to all GNs who adore/miss their partners.....did not mean to offend.

My husband plays golf twice a week with the 'old codgers' at his golf club. About once a month he plays 3 times a week but makes sure he tells me well in advance! I don't care! Love having the house and time to myself to do what I want. Having said that, we would never dream of taking separate holidays.

Here here! HappyNanna, we would not take separate holidays either. We enjoy doing different things together, which is what holidaying involves. We have our 'separate' interests which gives us 'our time', and we do share interests with friends, so we seem to have found the happy medium for us. Each to his own of course, good job we are all different.

My DH enjoys visiting exotic places whereas I would not cope all that well with a seven week trip around darkest Africa in a jeep and sleeping in a small tent with at least one stranger!

On the other hand, DH would not enjoy a spiritual/holistic type week in Spain doing circle dancing, yoga, meditation etc.

We do enjoy our holidays together as well, in fact going to Spain in a couple of weeks.
