[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't come across as very flattering OP.  Every time you mention your husband, it is with criticism.  You debunk every reason he has for any of his feelings.  That's just not healthy.  DH and I both travel sporadically for work (Him usually about a week every other month, me usually about 2-3 days every 6 weeks).  When we travel, we do get a little bit of a break.  I have no responsibilities regarding my child.  No whining because they didn't like what I made for dinner.  No begging for one more book at bed time.  No wanting to collapse after they are asleep only to look around and see the mess that needs to be picked up.  Are work trips relaxing like a vacation?  Absolutely fucking not.  But it's still a break.  And when DH is away for a week, it's stressful and chaotic.  There is no parent to say "please take over" when your kid is running up your last nerve.  I don't know what our marriage would be like if DH and I didn't recognize and appreciate what the other person has to go through when one of us is away.

My point is if you treat your husband in real life like you talk about him on here, I suspect this just the last straw for him.  There is no mention anywhere that you understand that 8 days alone with the kids seems daunting to him and you understand.  I just suspect that the reaction to this trip is a symptom of far more serious issues with the marriage. [/quote]
