My initial plan, was to go 3 weeks like last time, and go back with my partner in March.

But the partner, who is a nice but do not take much initiatives, came up with a proposition that I was very suprised with.

She sat down next to me and say, as you rent your house for only 15.000 b/month, why don't you go for 2 or even 3 months this year. I did not understand this proposition and found it too long to be away from home and family.

Yes she said, but I can come during x-mas holliday with the 2 girls (leave my son 2 year old with her parents), so the girls can also discover LOS and have a holliday. You can then still stay a month after we are gone.

My first reaction was, that this was great! But the more I was thinking about it the more it scared the shit out of me!

Like I said, I hate the idea not seeing the family so long. 3 weeks is nice but2-3 months? I am also scared to miss my little habits from home, like my movies on big screen, my music, my walks with my dogs etc.

Now most of you will, again, ask why she wants me to do that! And so did I!

Although the relation is running fine, she want to enjoy a period with more time for herself. as I don't work, neither does she, we are together a lot. when she gets home from shopping, sports, social life, IAM ALWAYS THERE.

No quitness, a moment for herself, always someone around in the house. I do understand this, because I am always happy when she is having voley-competition, that i have an evening for myself! But for 3 months, why isn't 3 weeks enough?

So I am hesitating, but cannot wait that long to decide if I want the house in December. I am also afraid that such a long time without the family will make me homesick. For me bg's are nice for 3 weeks, but after that I am always happy to find my family back!

I see guys like marc, who spend a long time in Phuket. do you never get tired of , not working? I thinkthat after 3 weeks, I would be tired of the beach and maybe even the nightlife.

One hand it is a great opportunity to try this, but on the other hand...I am a bit scared!

Gosh 3 months is a long time to be offerred to go wild by your wife!!!!
i've never heard of a woman giving her husband such time away........... tin tin maybe she is testing you.....or has some other agenda??? I'm not trying to be negative but this offer just doesn't seem right or should i say the whole situation seems quite odd...................I've got some very liberal minded married friends and couples but this even by their standards would be stepping way of the boundaries of a normal relationship.

Maybe i'm being to old fashioned but if you want to maintain a strong relationship with your wife then you should take her across like Dawsey does with his wife to enjoy LOS together and just with eachother.


The only other thing i can think of is that your wife wants some "time out"........................??
