Boys' holidays?

Yes it is OK.

What are your interests and do you have friends you could do them with?

By the way, although age often is relevant, in this case it isn't.

Yes - I’ve friends who do this. One is now 75 and still going to Portugal in a group for golf.

I can’t see a problem - unless you want to create one.

If you’re talking about your husband only you know if he’s trustworthy
I m sure it’s perfectly ok for husbands and wives to want to do their own thing sometimes but presumably you don’t trust him or you wouldn’t be asking on here so I m not sure how to answer your post.
Is it something that’s always happened ?

Hello Alegria56 are you talking about your Partner? If so do you have holidays together that you enjoy. Not sure what a 62 your old Man is going to get up to other than play golf.

Surely there is more going on than just hostility to DH going somewhere without the poster? Not a normal reaction.

Perfectly normal, my husband has done it, as I’ve been on beach holidays with a girlfriend, I don’t play golf, he doesn’t like sitting about on a beach.

Lots of MrA's friends have 'boys holidays'. I've yet to hear of anything going on that shouldn't be, other than a particularly drunken night.

I should add MrA doesn't partake (his own choice) and I don't know many of the people who do, so MrA would probably have no problem telling me if anything was going on that shouldn't be. Some golf, one group go to football matches, one lot go to motor sports.

MrA did go on one tennis holiday when I was away elsewhere but was bored by the end of the week (he doesn't really drink so evenings could be a trial) so never bothered again.

If people want to get up to “all sorts” they dont need to go away to do so.

Perfectly normal and acceptable for friends to go away together whether male or female.

My brother-in-law (early 70s) has just come back from exactly this type of golf trip.

Have you met 60year old golfers? As boring as hell unless your a keen golfer as well.
Yes let them go ... I Know several that age group plus older who still go...yourself a break too.

I would be delighted to encourage my husband to have some golfing fun with friends if he wanted to.

I'm not sure what you are thinking Alegria56 - please come back so we can understand. Is his health maybe very poor and you are worried?

Haha my husband is 67 and has been organising a boys golfing holiday abroad for the last 20+ years! Numbers have fluctuated but there is a core group of four of them now.

Age and medical conditions have been causing problems for two recently unfortunately.
They've done a few weekends in this country instead, but have booked for Portugal next February and are keeping their fingers crossed.
The bonus for me when they used to drive to France was a car-boot full of cheap wine 🍷🍾

I love my week at home to myself.
I've never had the slightest worry about what they get up to!
Amusingly one friend's brother-in-law went one year and obviously expected more "evening excitement" than their usual dinner-and-an-early-night, ready for the next day's golf! 🏌️🏌️‍♀️🏌️‍♂️🏌️
He wasn't invited again...

I also have a holiday with three friends every year, two of us are widows and two of us still have our husbands. We have a great time walking, talking, eating, drinking and putting the world to rights!
Try it for yourself as well Alegria56 👍

Just spotted this:

can’t help thinking guys get up to all sorts

I think it depends on "the guys"!

Being married to a golfer, I think you are underestimating what an all consuming passion that sport is. "Boys Holidays" it is not! those are something else altogether. My perception is that men of a certain age on golfing breaks go with the intention of playing golf, that's it! My husband has done them in the past these days, he'd rather go on holiday with me depending on where we are, he will sometimes have a day's golf, I don't care as long as I've got a good book. I'm inclined to agree with Visgirl golf chat is as boring as hell- not that engaging if you don't play.

My partner isn’t a golfer but goes on sailing holidays with his friends or crewing. He also goes away 3 times a year for his other pastime.
I go away with my daughter and friends.

😂

Yes, DS does this. (He's not 60 yet though.)
And rugby trips. DIL goes away another time with her Mum and sister.

Yes, hitting little balls into little holes with sticks. Then going to the clubhouse, then showering and eating big dinners.
Play, eat, sleep, repeat.

Why are you uncomfortable about this?
Don't do what a friend did; she insisted on going on a 'boys' fishing weekend. She ended up doing all the catering , washing up and bed making, while they sat in the rain gazing at the water then talked fish talk all evening.

Goodness, I'd be delighted if OH wanted to go on a holiday with his friends as I'd feel less guilty about all the things I do with my friends. Would I worry about him getting up to something? Absolutely not. When I go away with girlfriends does he worry that I'll get up to something? I really don't think so. FGS if you can't trust him to be away for a few days without misbehaving just divorce him and find someone trustworthy.

Foxie48 has hit the nail on the head here.

OP has a very low opinion of all the male human race if she thinks they 'get up to all sorts'.

Yes, don’t worry.
My DH goes abroad or in England on short tours with cycling pals.

So long as he is fit and healthy and can afford it, a holiday with his golfing buddies is completely normal.

I went on a 10 day road trip last year, in Turkey, with a friend, my DH was fine!
