Would it be terrible of me?

Would it be terrible of me?

To go to Virginia for Thanksgiving w/out DH?

Little history here: my family is very small. I have one aunt who lives in Staten Island and others in Virginia along with cousins. DH has a lot of family here who we see every so often.

This year we were invited to spend Thanksgiving in VA and I was so excited, because my aunt/cousins have not seen DD, and I haven't seen them since our wedding last October. Unfortunately, I found out DH has to work. As much as I would REALLY love to go, I'm torn because he won't be able to come. Unfortunately, he won't be able to do a lot of things thsi year, because he has to work every holiday this year. I on the other hand have off Thanksgiving Day and the day after, which would make it a long weekend for me, and would really love to go.

Would it be terrible of me to go w/out him? I haven't made my mind up yet, and am really torn here. If I go he'll be alone (even though he will be sleeping until 6 or 7pm since he would have worked the night before) and if I don't go, I'll be alone while he's at work.

It really stinks because last year was his first time in 3 years having off ALL holidays, and they made him go in on New Years Eve (OF ALL NIGHTS) and I ended up being home alone while I was pregnant, which he was NOT happy about.

I guess this is the life of the wife of a police officer who works mids!

I don't know what to do.....please help!

as long as he is okay with it, I would go and spend with your family.

either way it seems you won't be together no matter what.Chat Icon

what does your DH think???

I dont think that's something that you need our opinion on- talk with your DH and figure out what works for you guys. If it would upset my DH, i wouldn't go, if he didnt mind, i might consider it.

I am just thinking that when a guy is cool with something, he would say so. By virtue of the fact that he isnt saying anything, actually says a lot. But he is your husband and you know him best. We don't. That is why I agreed.

ita. i really think that if he didn't mind, he would have said that you should definitely go. they're like women--if he kept quiet, it means he's mad. but you know him better than anyone else.
