  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Ive only been away from my bf for 2 weeks at a time, and it is painful. I really hate it, I miss him so much. THe only reason we go on seperate vacations is if we dont have enough money or we cant get time off together. We try not to leave each other very often though.

I've gone on trips without him. My family goes to Myrtle Beach every year for a week, and I have gone with them in the past without him (because he couldn't get the week off). I took our boys with me.
The past two times we've gone though, he has been able to go with us.
I've also been on some overnight ladies retreats.

I've never been on vacation by myself since we got married. My hubby's job as a truck driver means that he always works away from home which can be hard sometimes. As my family lives in England I may have to go over there without my husband in the future just because of the expense involved and because we may not be able to afford for him to have time off work.

Do you take trips without your spouse? Does your spouse take trips without you? Do go alone because you have to or because you want to? How long have you stayed away?

No we haven't taken any trips apart from each other except once when my husband was an intern and had the opportunity to go to NYC for free for a week. So he went. Sometime I may go visit my SIL by myself because my husband getting time off of work is difficult. But in general we do things together and I would have a hard time if he had to travel a lot without me. I would get so lonely and bored!
