“A couple summers ago, my wife had to travel a lot for work. I tend to treat my body terribly when she’s gone: drink irresponsible amounts of alcohol, smoke a bunch of cigarettes or dip, eat awful food, and stay up really late. By the last trip, I was just like, “I need her to stay. I can’t keep doing this to my body.” But, because I’m a guy/idiot, instead of just stopping all that and being a responsible grown-up, I pounded a bottle of wine in 10 minutes, made some nachos with cheese and pepperonis, and watched It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia until I passed out on the couch.” – beardo_musacho

“The happy dance, seriously been married for 27 years and only over the last 2 years have we been on separate vacations.
She spent a week with her brother and sisters along with our adult kids and I stayed home.
Then a few months later I visited with my brother for 10 days and she stayed home.
It was relaxing and we both needed a break from one another, made seeing each other again so much nicer.” – MadLintElf

“My wife’s gone out of town just once since our twins were born (we have 3 kids altogether, all of them are 3 or younger). I was looking forward to a weekend of unadulterated gaming. I even made a spreadsheet budgeting out my time so that I could finish The Witcher 3 AND Metal Gear Solid V over the span of 3.5 days (I was taking an extra day and half from work). Worth mentioning: I had already invested 50+ hours into each game, so it was definitely within the realm of possibility.
But it didn’t play out the way I thought. With the fam out of the house, which we’ve had for less than a year, I quickly racked up a list of chores that included yard work, painting the walls in the remaining three rooms of our homes that we had skipped over when we moved in, and changing out some light fixtures.
I still got some game time in, though, and more than I would have otherwise, so it was all good. And you never realize just how much you can miss your family until they come home after being away for a few days.” – ashinroy86

“Last month, my wife was out of town for the whole weekend. I proceeded to drive myself to the grocery story, where I bought beer, Oreos, chips, and frozen pizzas. Stopped on the way home for a big bucket-o-chicken. Binged Netflix all weekend while eating like a college freshman.
I love my wife, but it was amazing.” – MyCardboardSword
