I take 3 to 4 guys' weekend trips a year.
The weekend's all she lets you have?

I always tack at least one (but up to four or five) personal days to business travel. Usually I'll just go explore interesting areas around wherever business takes me. I flew to a work-related convention in Las Vegas, stayed there three days, flown to Barbados from there and then flown home. The multi-stop flight itinerary (MSY-LAS-BGI-MSY) was only $250 more than MSY-LAS-MSY. FTR: It's a long way from LAS to Barbados.
The only exception would be a short business meeting or one day conference in say DFW, ATL or IAH where I leave home early in the morning and come back home that same evening.

If a woman trusts you, she should be understanding of you wanting to go an a weekend trip with your guy friends. Or even a personal trip, with no friends.

You would think but it doesn't work like that for me.

I actually know a couple who were married, and the guy said he was going on a business trip across the country for a week to take a class. Well he was dumb and she checked their mint.com account and found out he was actually in another country and was cheating on her.
He was talking to her on the phone every day, making up stuff about how the class was going. I could not morally do that.

why be married if you have to resort to these adolescent dirty dirt tricks?
seriously. if the guy is on the up and up and needs a couple of sanity days to himself, just talk to the wife.
sounds like he is up to no good

I could just see how even a trustworthy woman would be like "Why? Can't we go together?" .. To a woman, "I need some personal time" sounds like "man, I'm sick of you, let me find some better pussy" ... Probably doesn't apply to guys who marry their best friends. I'm not married so I wouldn't know.

I mean, you see her every day..a little time away can be a good thing. "Absence makes the heart grow fonder."

Both awesome and weird IMO maybe even a bit sad. Funny either way though.

I take enough real ones as it is. I'm more likely to tell work that I need to stay home rather than go to a client for a week than tell my wife I need to travel when I really don't.

It's just going to look that much worse when the wife eventually finds out, and she will.

I would bet he takes these fake trips to
a) fudge pack his lover
b) screw his female lover
c) screw a sheep
d) hookers and blow
e) Caitlyn hookers and heroin

I feel it's a good idea in principle, for me I grew up an only kid with both parents working full time after I was about 8 years old, so it feels good every now and then to get some "me time".
That being said, pulling off a whole fake business trip isn't just one lie, it's 50 (who the clients were, the nightly phone calls, talking your way out of your wife bringing up your business trips at the company Christmas party....). You're going to slip up eventually and you'll have no excuse for that level of dishonesty.

I have never done it. And my younger self might think someone who has is cheating or whatever, but now with three kids, I can see this happening. Heading up a household has a ton of responsibilities, and there are times I just want to be alone and read or fish. No one bothers me while I am working, and I can see using the excuse.

He is an abject failure as a husband and father.
Also, he's femmy if he ever actually says "me time".

I've taken the get out of the house trips for a weekend. I usually try to add some kind of work related activity to make it somewhat legitimate, but we aren't lying to each other. We know the point of the trip is to get some fresh air.
I fully encourage her to do the same if she needs a little "me time".

Well yeah, you and every other married person (aside from the most extroverted of people) just wants to be alone at times.
Seems like something folks should practice before they get married, like hey, maybe we don't have to spend every single minute of our free time together. Then in the marriage when you actually request it it's not some huge surprise. Maybe both will actually live more enriching lives if they're not completely dependent on each other for contentment.
Not married but it'd be a priority for me to let my SO know that I need time to recharge from time to time.
