Well, to be fair I take a solo trip in Europe almost every year because every year we go to Ireland to visit his family. I take the opportunity of being over there to spend a few more days on my own somewhere else after we're done the family visits (and he has to go back to work--it's much easier for me to get time off than him). If this was our only trip of the year and I (or he) took it separately, I wouldn't like that.
If I'm going I need nothing. I won't be calling home cause I got a flat tire or my debit card was decline for some reason. With that being said I wouldn't expect any less of the other leaving solo.
I also don't want to hear you can't sleep cause I haven't called or that you're worried I broke down or am dead at the bottom of a cliff. No I won't text every hour on the hour. Maybe just when I'm turning in for the night.
I would be curious why someone would have a problem with this. Either you trust someone or you don't. My husband is going to travel through Asia on his own this summer, for 1 month. I have zero desire to go there, and honestly wouldn't be able to find someone to watch my child for that long. I fully support him going. Just the way he supported me going to Arizona a few weeks ago. I wasn't alone, I was with friends, but if I had gone alone he wouldn't try to stop me or give me a hard time. The word " tolerate" is interesting, I mean what is there to tolerate if you have a good relationship to begin with.
It's not about trust. It's about shared experiences.
Maybe I'm a little off, this way, but find that traveling together ends up enhancing our travel experience. We're bringing home pictures and memories that will remind us of something we shared and will, hopefully, never forget. Both of us feel stronger, as a couple, doing things together and I know we both want that to continue.

That's great you both feel that way but a lot of couples need breaks.
I heard a lot of divorces happen after a long vacation together. No i can't link an article.
I like taking trips alone. I would be fine with a partner coming along if they were able to, but if not, I still want to take my trip.
Until you hear;
We stopping again?
It's cold can you roll up the windows?
It's hot I need the air on.
I have to pee..... Yes again.
Do you know where you're going?
I'm hungry.
*snore*
I have to pee.
Can we do something else?
The map says to turn here...why didn't you turn?
I love solo trips.
"Should take me 10 hours solo...12 if I have somebody with me."
So the true answer is, there is no answer. Whatever works for the BOTH of you.
Yep!
