Again, where does your kid go when you are sneaking off on trips like a teenager, as you put it?

You didn't state that you fear his acting out violently?

My parents watch her. This is actually pretty normal in my culture ex grand parents helping out with child care.

I meant more in terms of breaking things and being vandictive if I tired to divorce him or take full custody. Regardless ... I can't deal with all that drama. He is going to be away in a month for a couple months. A tiny break would be good for both of us to help give each other time to do things as we please for a little bit. The glass still way more then 1/2 full. It could be way worse.

In case anyone was wondering how this situation turned out .... I am not getting divorced .... But I am going on the trip. Transportation booked, hotel booked and front row ticket to the concert purchased. Life is just too short to let other people even your spouse stop you from living out your goals and dreams. YOLO!

Going to an out-of-town concert for a few days seems harmless enough, out of the two months that he'll be gone. But what's concerning is the fact that he doesn't approve of you taking a little break, even if the kids are well-looked-after. Is there a chance that he could be persuaded to go to a few sessions of couples counseling with you? He needs to face the reality that he's living in the West, married to (I assume) a Westerner, so some adjustment on his part needs to be made. Nothing radical, but you two should be able to find some middle ground, which would be fair.

Good to hear. Divorce can be nasty and as much as people don't like to hear it, it's not good for the kids, I also get that there is a point where a marriage can be bad for the kids too. I get that.

Hope things work out. Going on a solo trip as I've said through out this thread isn't in of itself a bad thing. I just had a problem with all of the posts about "he's not going to control me" crap, you can practically see all the head rollin and this stuff going on. I've said that spouses have a marital responsibility to discuss things has been my point.

Ummm I am not telling him .... he knows I am a little punk...but a faithful one. I think I often don't get his perspective. ...but try to test every limit. I have around 48 hours to dodge him lol so game on. As I express every time he busts me doing something he would disapprove of ... if you did not react this way I would tell you. He freaks out then gets over it. This concert is happening in Florida... California and other parts of Latin America ..... so me going to New York is nothing taking that in to account. I should be back before he notices with enough time to figure out how to clearly phones of any evidence lol. Everyone's got to have a few secrets '! Now I will have something to confess on my death bed.

Sounds like an extremely healthy situation.

Hope you have a good time.
