Hi Volleydog I've learned that while you are right, it would be easier if you were going to be on the camping trip, saying things like that did not help me with my H and used to do it quite a bit. Not a good thing to make them feel guilty, which is basically what it does even though I was hoping it would set off a light bulb "Oh she's right, let's not divorce!" As for her not asking about your plans, I do believe she desperately wants to but has great great restraint. My H wouldn't ask in the beginning but then started to "What are you plans....what are you doing?.....Who are you texting?.....etc" and I don't say None of your business. I answer the questions but I don't ask him now, UNLESS he's got our S with him and then I want to know where my S will be and doing what.
