My(32f) husband (36) doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with leaving his wife and kids to go on vacation.

He’s taken 3 trips (3-7 days boating with his family) in the last 6 months. The first trip I was 8.5 months pregnant, with a 3 yr old toddler. He went again two more times, when baby was 6 weeks and 4 months. He claims men go on business trips all the time and this is the same thing. I had agreed to let him go but under different circumstances. He planned the trips with his dad and changed plans on what we had agreed. I let him go because I don’t feel like I have a great relationship with my in-laws and was afraid I’d be blamed for ruining the trip. I managed but it was really hard for me. When I had my first child he went to Europe for two weeks and said it was a business trip. When he came back he said he only worked about 10% of the time.

I don’t disagree that people need time to relax and recharge, especially if they have their partners blessing. I’m more frustrated with his attitude that everyone does this and everyone okay leaving their young family.
