First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes separate honeymoons?

There’s certainly something to be said for keeping some independence when you’re married, but some couples are taking it to the extreme by going on separate honeymoons.

Solomoons, or unimoons, as some are calling them, appear to be gaining traction among some newlyweds.

Why, you might ask? According to the New York Times, it’s often because the bride and groom can’t compromise on a vacation, or because work is taking precedence over the couple’s romance, so they plan their honeymoon separately.

As with everything, because people seem to have feelings about it, there are two sides of this argument.

A sociologist and online dating expert based in Los Angeles told the New York Times that the idea of separate honeymoons may signal the continued evolution of marriage.

“Given the recognition that, for most couples today, marriage and partnership is considered all-consuming, with the partner needing to fulfill every role — physical, spiritual, emotional and sexual — perhaps separate vacations is a recognition among some couples that all expectations cannot be met by a single person.”

Or the wife wants to get railed by a scuba instructor.

If a woman wants to take a different Honeymoon, tell her she should find a different husband

So, how many couples?

If it went from 0 couples doing this to 10, does that count as gaining traction?

Your story that time about pounding the married chick in the woods made me paranoid forever.

i.e. our weird staff writers know 3 even weirder couples that did this therefore we declared it a new trend.

Isn’t that what a bachelors party is?

Both husband and wife are hooking up with other people on those trips.

Doubt it. Only cucked soyboys would do this so he’s probably playing video games while he watching his wife’s kids, and she’s on a beach getting railed by ramon

They probably found the one couple retarded enough to come up with such an idea, and try to sell the general public that it's a trend. They do the same with cuckolding.

Literally no one is doing this. Can’t stand journalism that tries to label one or two instances of different as the new norm.

Picking and going on our honeymoon was the most fun stress free time of our lives. If a couple can't even agree on this, they are in big trouble

that's not a marriage, that's two friends of the opposite sex who enjoy spending time together.

Look, I know a lot of people that live together and care for each other but will never get married. Nothing wrong with that.

Do they need to put Jody’s name on the wedding announcements?

Or when she goes to Zumba Class. Or to the Grocery Store, or to go Christmas shopping.


The sad truth is that when they want to cheat, they’ll find a way. All it takes is the will, and the only hard step is the first one

Man, she broke you.

As for the OP, is this one of those things where like 3 couples did it but the dying newspaper is going to act like it's 100?

Oh, it wasn’t my ex that was doing that to me.

Her beau was 600 miles away.


This was all after, in another sordid, but fun, learning experience. Other side of the coin
