21ST CENTURY RELATIONSHIPS: “So pick a city you’ve always wanted to know better and stay by yourself there for two weeks, even a month. No, your husband won’t like it, but it won’t kill him (sorry), and you’re an adult who’s entitled to a lengthy, solo vacation.” If I were this woman’s husband, I’d take the long vacation myself. And I’m not sure I’d come back.
I can’t help but feel, though, that an advice columnist would be less sympathetic to a man expressing similar desires.
