Girls/guys Separate Weekend Trips

So this might be a weird question but I wasn’t sure where else to ask. I wanted to get everyone’s opinion on husbands and wives taking separate girls trips or guys trips (or husband/husband or wife/wife taking separate trips).

So this might be a weird question but I wasn’t sure where else to ask. I wanted to get everyone’s opinion on husbands and wives taking separate girls trips or guys trips (or husband/husband or wife/wife taking separate trips). Not for a special occasion but just because. H and I live in Europe so travel is very easy and stupid cheap. A group of girls I have only just met a few months ago want to do a girls weekend in a different country. They are all single. H has been there, I have not. Last time I read something similar to a girls weekend, a lot of people commented, “nope, I can’t sleep without them.” That’s definitely not the case - he travels frequently for work so I’m used to that. H and I do a lot of travel, just the two of us but my feelings towards separate trips and, I feel like I sound dumb, but stuff like exploring things and going to new countries for the first time, I’d rather experience with my husband. Similarly, he went on a yearly guys weekend trip to Oktoberfest for the first time before we were married and we were living in separate countries. I’ve always wanted to go at least once and I would just feel weird if he picked a guys weekend knowing I wanted to go. I guess I sound a bit childish when I type it out but we were long distance for our entire relationship so this was never really an issue for me. Just curious on other’s opinions.

    Thank you thank you thank you. Just popping by to say it came up accidentally yesterday. I know a couple (whom we don’t wish to associate with) trying to stay with us before they go to Oktoberfest at the end of this year and they’re starting to get really into pushing this on us. We were discussing that and the guys trip came up and apparently he decided to skip it again this year. Wouldn’t you know.

    Girls trips are fun. That I can't sleep without them sounds like codependency. Sorry. I love my husband and I do have a hard time sleeping without him. That said I love my girls too and I will live a few days without him. I'm all about girls trips or guys trips. It's different with your friends vs with your husband. Different vibe.

    I think space and time with friends is good.
