[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand your inclination to be dishonest OP- some pearl clutchers and "what about the children?!" people make it sound like any woman who wants some time away a few times a year is a monster, so you feel like something is wrong with you for wanting this. Nothing is wrong with you! You just need to have more confidence in your needs and be honest about them.

Like other posters said, if I found out my spouse was doing this I would assume they were having an affair. Why put yourself in a position to look so suspicious? You don't need to come clean about the past but moving forward, I'd recommend just telling your DH what you are doing and why. Hopefully you've married a decent guy who won't try to guilt you about what you need. [/quote]
The vast majority of people on this forum are not going to think OP is a monster for wanting some time away from her husband and kids. Most of us, if we’re honest, feel the same way. But the lying is a problem. Don’t try to rationalize that. [/quote]
Reread the last paragraph of the OP.[/quote]
It’s all just rationalizing. Even the way she framed the post made that clear.

But I said the vast majority of people on this forum, not the moms OP was hanging out with. And clearly those responding here understand the wish for time away. We just don’t think it’s good to lie about it. [/quote]
