Sad need to vent

JoceyBaby23 · Gucci

I just got back from a business trip in Vegas.. I was there for 4 nights. I enjoy traveling by myself but always miss DH. I took advantage of being alone and did a TON of shopping. And I did go out to Studio 54 and some others.. mostly because you have too. EVERYONE in the business world gathers and goes to dinner together after long days of meetings.. and then after a few drinks.. everyone goes out together at least for one or two more. I really wasnt interested in "going out on the town".. but it is good business and a good opportunity to network. Don't be upset if he goes out.. It really isnt optional in the position that he is in. I got pressure to go out and I'm sure he will too.. But he loves you and you have a beautiful family together.. and I'm sure that you know he would never do anything to jeoperdize that!

My hubby just left on a business trip to of all places...Vegas. The original plan I was I was going to meet him and he'd extend his trip over the weekend. Well with the pregnacy and complications we decided better I be close to my doctor. It's a 3 night trip and he'll be back on Friday, but I hate that he's gone. Especially now I feel vunerable and moody. And to top it all off he went with several people from the office including some new young thing who is trying to recruit him to go to clubs with her. (He's the next youngest in the group but older than her be 5-7 years). I trust him, and clubbing is SO not his thing, but it still bothers me...

first of all, let me say, i'm sooo relieved! i was so worried when i read the title that it would be something baby related. i was literally holding my breath when i read it.

whewwwwwwww. (that's me letting out a sigh of relief).

i can't say i know what you're going through with hormones and everything, but i imagine that it would hard to handle (at least for me) without crazy hormones. it's got to be tough right now for you. from your previous posts he sounds like a great guy, so maybe try to focus on all the good things he's done for you, the fact that it's a business trip, and if that doesn't work, maybe try to busy yourself for the next three days to keep your mind off things.

I'm not a jealous person, normally, but you know what would bug me the most? Not that he's there or out having fun but that I'm not having as much fun as he is. I imagine it would be doubly as hard if I were stuck at home not feeling my best. Just call him regularly to keep in touch and spend some extra time on ST. Maybe do some shopping while he's gone too. Hang in there girl!

ugh, so not the kind of anxiety you want right now...thinking about my husband going to a club with a cute girl from work would eat at me, pregnant or not. can you ask him not to go clubbing or is that a taboo subject in your relationship? I disagree with the poster who said it's not optional, though I understand that one has to be strong willed to stand up to the pressuring to go party. At least it's only three days, it will be done before you know it.

We talked about this. He is most likely not going. He thinks the guys will most likely want to go to a casino and he wants to stay close to that group and work the networking in there. I'm thinking she is graviating toward him because he is the youngest, besides her, in the group. The rest of the group is 40+. She has a serious-long term-live in boyfriend. I'm not worried about anyone jeapordizing these relationships. But my irrational side does say "Well it is Vegas".

i had the same reaction as shopgirl82, i was literally afraid to click and read this post. anyway, so glad you're ok and don't worry about hubby and vegas--he will just be counting the minutes to get back to you, i know it.

All the other posts have been so rational and understanding of the situation, it makes me kind of laugh at what I would do if my husband went to Vegas without me, which is to make him call me every 2 hours and instruct him to buy me something nice.
