Dear Love Doctor,
This may sound pretty petty, but it has me very worried. My better half wants us to go on separate vacations this winter.
He says it would help us "charge our batteries" and he says it would be
good for our relationship. We've been together about three years now
and I've never thought there was anything wrong with our partnership.
"Paul" has already made reservations to go to a gay resort down south
next month. He did it without even mentioning it to me beforehand.
"Paul" says he's going with some friends from work, and says I should
make my own plans and go somewhere I'd like.
He won't tell me the names of the people he's traveling with, and I'm getting suspicious.
"Paul" has always been headstrong, but really Doc, doesn't this sound just a bit fishy?
Signed,
Home Alone
Dear Home
I think you are right hearing those bells and whistles going off in your
head. The tip off, of course, was not saying who he is going with.
But, suspicions aren't proof. And, it is obvious this is going to keep
bothering you. So, it is time to bring the whole thing to a boil.
If you don't want separate holidays tell him so. Put your foot down and
tell him why. If it turns out he is having a fling you will have to
deal with that. Either you put up with it, or you will have to consider
ending the relationship.
A partnership is just what the name implies, two equal parts.
Don't put up with less than you are prepared to give.
The Love Doctor
