    We've spent short periods of time apart doing our own things but not what I'd call a vacation. We love each other's company but we ain't clingy.

    Yeah. Wife went on a girls trip. Turned out she went to the same place we vacationed together. But to meet a guy, not her girlfriends. She’s my ex wife now. Bad memories. But to answer the question sure I’d do a guys long weekend trip. And I’d hope that I wouldn’t go mad wondering about my SO if she went away as well. My imaginary SO of course....

    Have you ever taken a vacation without your significant other, or have you been left at home while they go away? If so, what sort of parameters do you set as far as budget and duration?

    Vacation together certainly. I've done two business trips without her, and she's done a trip to follow up family issues without me. And those were the only three times we were apart in 30 years.

    Budget - not applicable.

    Duration - just a few days each time.

    For the past 5 years I have gone on vacation to Bonaire to go scuba diving of course. Me and my dive buddy have gone for 2 weeks and my NON diving wife i dont think would like being there that long. not much else to do there but diving.

    Two weeks including air fair,hotel,rental truck, all you can breath nitrox and the marine park fee $3500. Most do a 1 week trip for half the price, but that only gives you 5 full days of diving VS 11 days when you go for 2 weeks.

    I had one where she went to Vegas for the weekend and I went to Holland to watch football/soccer

    A few days are fine IMO, you can’t be joined at the hip

    I have done short trips away to visit family and friends as we no longer live in the country we are originally from. My hubby isnt a beach/pool person and needs to sit in the shade, and would much rather my daughter and I enjoy two weeks somewhere hot and beachy while he stays at home and potters about. My mother in law is the only one who seems to think this is odd! That said when my daughter and I fly off to the Canarys in the summer she won't enter in to my thoughts at all

    We have done it and we still do it. Most trips are together though.

    My buddies and I go on a 10 day motorcycle trip every year, without our wives.
