| Why do you have "nothing to do"? Don't you live in the DC area? |

| I don't blame how you feel. If you're not having fun, how dare he have any fun? You should both spend the rest of your marriage miserable. Together. Mutual boredom and misery is the best. |

| At least he isn't hiking the Appalachian Trail. |

| I often stayed over Saturdays on business trips in Europe because it was a lot cheaper to fly home on Sunday vs Saturday, and my company was cheap. I also didn't mind a day to look around the city. |

| Is he really skiing? Are you sure he’s not hunting bobcat? |

| Honestly OP I hope this is the wake up call you needed to figure out how to have more joy in your life. |

Good for him! My husband works very hard and when he has to travel for work somewhere interesting I always encourage him to stay and explore and do something fun. Are you home with little kids? I’ve been there- just get s sitter and do something with a friend or for yourself. We all need breaks. If you don’t have kids, you need to get a life. Marriage is about helping your spouse be the best version of themselves. Taking some time to have fun is important for all of us. |

| Would never cross my mind to be mad at DH over this and I would be glad he was taking advantage of being somewhere new. The bigger question is why, when you know he's out of town, you haven't made plans to enjoy yourself. It's not his fault that you have "nothing to do." Take charge of your calendar and enjoy life a bit more. It's not your husband's job to be your only source of entertainment. You sound draining as a wife (and I'm a wife, too). |

He probably doesn’t take care of the kids and house for a day or a weekend so that she can go out and enjoy herself. Duh lady! OP - tell DH that’s he’s going to take good care of the kids and house on X weekend so that you can go off with your friends and go skiing or whatever . |

+1 sounds like a great opportunity and he took advantage of it. Op, if you are really upset about this then the issue is bigger than one day on the slopes. |

DH frequently adds a day to his trip if he is near good skiing. It is a great opportunity. Traveling for work has its perks and its hassles. Take advantage of the perks. |
