Among Friends

[aoldgirl]

I would go, although I would wish he were with me, I would go.  and I feel the same for him.   I would hope he would go  where he wanted to go.  Life is too short.  Love last forever.  He would want me to go .

I'd go. Not to is just ridiculous. If the partner isn't able to extricate him or herself from work, then why shouldn't the other one enjoy this opportunity. To expect otherwise just seems selfish to me. Marriage doesn't mean each partner gives up any semblence of being an individual.

I don't want to make this complicated but if the "friends" were very good friends, friends you do things with often, friends for many years, almost family,  the answer is GO

Next time, the situation could be reversed.

    I wouldn’t go without my husband.I would be unhappy & wouldn’t have a good time.I would miss him too much.

If it would cause a feud, jealousy, etc., between the partners, I personally would wait until BOTH could take the trip together.

[Wiscfan3]

Both of us would tell the other person to go, but I don't think either of us would actually go.

I don't even have to think about it.  Since my late husband and I enjoyed our life together, we wouldn't have fun or feel good unless we were together.

In fact, every time he traveled on business ( other than building houses), he'd come home and say, "I can't wait to take you and the girls there!  You'll love it".

I would discuss this with my husband, who would encourage me to go.  If he was invited somewhere and I was not available, I would encourage him to go.  Life is too short to have regrets about not going somewhere that you have always wanted to visit.   I believe in taking advantage of every opportunity to have fun.  Yes, it probably would be more fun with your partner, but that is not always possible.

sign me up-I'm outta here. My passport is ready and waiting.

[qbetzforreal]

Absolutely, either one of us would go.
