My husband keeps going on camping vacations by himself.

I know. I'm suspicious, especially since he's announced he's spending next week at a state park in Florida. He's gone on several camping trips solo or with male friends in the past year. I'm not invited. He's not into hunting or fishing. He shows no interest in planning shared vacations and frankly, I'm getting tired of topping up our checking account after every one of these trips, which run up expenses, even though he's camping. He pays no attention whatsoever to the costs and ran account dry during his long trip last August. So what would you do?

What are the expenses?

Either he is really into solitude...or he has another missus.

Does he say he’s “hiking the Appalachian trail?” Then you should be suspicious. Do a search for Governor Sanford

He’s not camping. You know he’s not. At some point you’ll have to deal with what he’s up to. You know you need to confront him.

Actually, I think he is camping but I also think he's hooking up with someone at the campgrounds, probably other males.

Camping was the excuse to head up to Brokeback Mtn.

How do you rack up bills when you're camping in the wilderness???

Our social life is a couples thing and while he might survive a divorce, I'd be dropped. I don't want to be that lonely old woman so I guess I'm stuck and he knows it.

Next time he goes camping, run your account dry getting some much needed therapy. You really need to figure out why you are letting him define you. Get a life, a better one

Your social life is worth these financial issues, being abandoned for “camping,” possible exposure to STDs, loneliness, loveless marriage...? Come on. You can make new friends.

Sounds like there would be a threesome opportunity if you accompanied your DH on these camping trips.

Do you have kids at home, or is sticking around entirely about you?

Because yeah, therapy. You either need to get out now or plan your escape. This is not going to get better.
