[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know who sounds controlling to me?  The DIL.

It is weird that the son didn't express agreement or disagreement when his wife made the announcement.  I also think the 2-week focus thing is odd.  Any relationship that needs 2 weeks of one-on-one focus is a relationship that is floundering.  It sounds to me like the DIL is trying to make one last attempt and the way she is doing it is by getting the son away from friends/family and his support system.

The whole thing is setting of warning bells for me.[/quote]

Not really people are so plugged in normally that when you go away, being able to unplug completely is actually really refreshing.  I have found the holidays that I come back from where it was no screens were the ones people generally tell me I look really refreshed.

If you have screens on vacation you still have all that stuff with you.  Even other things like the news is readily available. Its not really relaxing to be in touch.  Having 2 weeks to enjoy yourselves is really good not only for the soul but to just relax and unwind together.  I've had holidays where the rest of the world could be at war and I wouldn't even know, especially if you are in nature, its really divine.  Its also fun to come back and share that rather than living moment to moment telling everyone straight away what's happening but rather to simply enjoy the moment and relish it. We've done it and our relationship was not floundering.
