Is this guy going to Europe too? If not, maybe he and your wife will get together for some stuffed turkey.

It will be worth the wait and it's something that would be better shared with her than two of your single friends.

You mean to tell me that if you get married... you can never ever go on an 8 day trip with your friends without your wife? Really?... are you fvcking kidding me?

8 DAYS?!?!

I'd spend Thanksgiving with my wife over taking a trip with friends...

I agree on both counts. She's cute and you should spend Thanksgiving with family.

All these guys saying you have to bring your wife, we know who wears the pants in the fam

Heck, if I was one of his friends there, I'd give him my ticket so I can spend thanksgiving with his wife while he's on the 8 day trip.

No. He's recently married and wanting to take a trip to Europe with single friends over a holiday. His first trip to Europe, their first Thanksgiving together. His first trip to Europe should be with his wife who should also be his best friend. The first year of marriage is not about taking vacations seperately. Plus an 8 day camping or hunting trip with the guys is a whole lot different than an 8 day trip to Europe with the guys.

i'd say go. you can eat turkey with family on christmas, not just thanksgiving i wanna go see the great wall/normady beach/ pyramids before i die and if the situation came up and the wife could not go(although im not married yet, but weve been together forever and plan on taking the "M" step) it would suck for her not to be there but thats a once in a lifetime experience for some people. i would also weigh the fact that if i could go another time WITH her, i would. i would much rather experience it with the gf(nothing against the friends).

if it was me i would stay home with the wife and go somewhere and have fun or visit the family. you can always go next year

you have a nice looking wife too, good luck:wine:

 

[vshah]

you have a hot wife. i'd stay home and bang her

I see the fuss, but then for me pretty much the only important holidays are birthdays and mothers days... any other day is like a saturday morning for me.

You should just let it rest (the topic that is). Buy her flowers, be the king she wants you to be and the servant she wishes... then, one cloudy morning right before thanksgivings, she wakes up and sees, a note on your side of the bed:

IS EASIER TO ASK FOR FORGIVENESS THAN
IT IS TO ASK FOR PERMISSION.

-I LOVE YOU, HUNNY-BUNNY.

SEE YOU NEXT THURSDAY.

(dont forget this, when you get back, bust your ass and next vacation is Thailand or some other south east
asian paradise looking place)

 

[Azraele]

Come on, it's Thanksgiving. You should be with your family.

F that man... there is no woman on this planet who I would give up my entire life for. Being married should not mean you never ever do anything apart ever again... that's just absolute crazy talk.

In my opinion a confident married couple could spend some time apart without the relationship going to hell in a handbasket.

The trip sounds like it would be phenomenal... and just because your wife is hot, and your wife doesnt mean you can't have that adventure for 8 weeks.

Screw all these overprotective Skywalkers in this thread... go have some fun. And then go again with your wife later... and show her around europe from your new wiser point of view.

AND WRITE HER LETTERS.

-Max

guess you've never been married, eh?

Going on a trip without them is a no-no unless its already been discussed before hand. You can't just up an say "well I'm going on a trip to wonderful Europe, sorry you have to work"

It's eight frickin days.... I bet if it was his wife asking to do the same with some girlfriends, you'd call him overpossesive to not allow her to go...

Your version of marriage I will never ever submit to. Even for Angelina.

-Max

I agree with you, which is why i am divorced.

Yeah, that's a good one....

I mean, you guys, after looking at the pictures, wouldn't you rather spend those days with her than going to Europe?

Spend those days with her rather than right here? Ummm, no, not my type, beautiful but not my type.

 

[Klixxer]

There is a big whip lying over this entire thread, "omg, she is cute! Stay at home"

Did any of you realize that he has already stated that he WANTS TO GO?

Let me tell you, IF you do this for her, you will have to ALWAYS do these things for her or she will ask why your love for her is not the same, why you have changed and so on. This may sound like a stereotype, but this stereotype is true.

Be smooth about it, but for gods sakes GO if you want to go.

I think it really depends on the people involved. For myself, holidays are a big deal AND i always spend it with family. If my SO left me to hang with his friends...yes...it would bother me. A lot of the people in this thread act like there's no possible way he can go any other time...a trip to Europe isn't exactly a once in a lifetime opportunity or something. Just wait til your wife can go (in the summertime perhaps?) or plan a trip with some of your other friends another time.

So yes, I do think you're being selfish if it bothers her.

Just to clarify, if it was any other time...I wouldn't mind letting my SO go to europe with his friends.

Another thing to point out is that your wife is pretty hot looking and I'm guessing she's a great girl. A lot of guys would give up anything to be with her. If you don't treat her right, it'd be so easy for her to find another guy who will.

THe thing is, this is the only time that 3 of us will have time to go together. Justin is already out of college and is on contract work but the other 2 of us won't have time when we graduate.

ahh.. i told my gf i was going to watch the COlts-Patriots game.. and then we got into a HUGE argument on how I didnt ask her to come.. i thought it explanatory that I was going to be with all guys and it wont be fun for her.. well she didnt take it and was like you should have asked me.. blah blah blah

Look man, here is the best advice on the planet for a long lasting and exciting marriage. I have been married for over six years now and I owe it all to the following technique. Whenever you face a circumstance or decision that you don't know how to deal with, take a step back and ask yourself "What would Homer Simpson do in this situation?".... There's your answer...

uggh....one of the reasons i dumped my last girlfriends.....I could never do anything with just my friends....i.e. without her

it sucked big time

If that is what it comes down to she's not worth the effort anyway.

If she can't take him going on an 8 day trip with his friends then i don't care HOW good looking or great she is otherwise, if that means she will find another man, then she would have anyway, all she waited for was an excuse.

Let me tell you that the most common reason people break up is because they DON'T do things on their own, this "together all the time" BS is just that, BS, you are STILL two individuals living together, you don't become siamese twins who needs to spend ALL time together just because you are married.

If he WANTS to go he should go, end of story, if that makes her break up, then good riddance.
