For me that would be a road trip to a camping site somewhere. Not a flight to NYC to do nothing but sleep all trip in the hotel bed at the Ritz. That’s how you’d find yourself again? You are a strange cat

Do you take social media pics and say that you are living your best life?

I do it just about every Friday and Saturday. I don't sleep in and eat at the hotel breakfast but I get up earlier than anyone else in the house and go do the shite I need and want to do....and no one says a word. It may be fishing, hunting, running the sawmill, working in the shop, etc. I go out of town fishing a good bit and no one says a word. I have been doing it for 33 years and will continue to do so....

No I love my wife & children, and I spend as much time together with them as possible.
I’ve lost a number of loved ones in the past few years including my mother and mother-in-law and FIL, and time with my loved ones is absolutely precious and that has really crystallized in my mind since.
To each his own and I’m not casting aspersions or implying anything with my opinion, just the way I personally feel.

Take a few PTO days and tell the wife you have a meeting/workshop to go to and just fly off to some random city on your own.
If either of us lied to each other this way, we’d be done with the other.
If been to Mexico, Germany, Japan, and lots of domestic locations without her that weren’t business trips. Why have to lie about it?
You sit on a throne of lies.

No. I'd get bored by myself. I'll take a day off here and there to have a quiet day at home while she and the kiddo are at work and school

I go on a week long golf trip with my brother every year usually in the mountains to get away from the heat…every time I go home and see my Mom it’s a “me” trip…
Wife encourages all of it…

I've gone on long trips by myself when I just wanted some wind in my face and take off on my motorcycle for a few days to a week or so at a time.
I have never seen a need to lie about wanting some "me time" on my bike hitting the backroads of our country and the wife has no issue with it.
I call it "Two Wheel Therapy, and it's a great way to get the head straightened out without some goober shrink with a PHD acting like he/she really gives a shite about my problems.

Get a divorce. You can go on a YOU trip whenever you want. I've been on a ME trip for a couple months now. I have an entire apartment to myself to relax in, sleep late in, do whatever in. It's not as glamorous as it sounds.
People have suggested that I travel by myself to go see places. Maybe I will, but right now I feel like it would just be the same as what I'm doing now, just in a different place.

Can’t do that at home?

Exactly.
It would never occur to me to lie about it
I dont imagine many married people do.

When I need a break from work and duties at the house, I take my boys camping. We're usually within a 2 hour drive from home in case something comes up that we need to get back for. There's just not much I would want to do solo at my age now.

This sounds boring as frick, I’m supposed to find myself being lazy?

While also lying to my wife? This sounds like anxiety city for me. Being unproductive and lying about it is legit nightmare fuel for me.

That's why you need hobbies like golf, hunting, or fishing. So you can go spend time on your own or with buddies at the "camp" if you need to get away a little.

I took a solo trip to the mountains to rest once at an elderly relative's house, never occurred to me to lie to my husband about it.
Who does that? Why lie?

I take trips for myself all the time. I'm on a trip to MN right now and didn't bring anyone. I'm not married, but I didn't lie to my boyfriend or son about it. I simply just didn't invite them. I wanted to do this trip to go to a concert they wouldn't want to see, so no need to spend money for them to tag along. Plus let's me recharge for a few days without them.
But I'm also going to Charleston with one of them next weekend and Montana with the other next month so I didn't see the problem.
The problem would have come in to play if I lied about it.

I can do this at my house without lying to my wife.
