[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, tell your DH (and kids depending on their ages) to just knock it off, you're happy for them to go as long as they like and here's what you'll be doing. I've been through this in the reverse to some extent; I often like to take trips my DH has no interest in going on. In our case I never actually minded him staying at home but he used to give me a lot of grief about wanting to go and for a long time I gave in. Then one day I thought, "this isn't how I want to live my life" and told him I was going, he was welcome to come or to enjoy some downtime at home, and after grumbling for awhile he saw it wasn't getting him anywhere and stopped. Sometimes you just have to power through the whining and grey rock it out for awhile - it'll be worth it.[/quote]

I had the same situation with my DH!  He used to travel and also had good excuses why he couldn’t travel (green card issues, etc.). But now he never wants to leave the house and I love traveling so I just go on my own.  He used to guilt me and say I didn’t want to be around him and one day I started replying ‘yup, I don’t want to be in this house all the time.  You are always welcome to join me!’  He stopped complaining after that.  We also have very disparate amounts of vacation time so I get it.  But it was liberating![/quote]
