Miracle at JJ's

[MJontheMend]

Is this the longest you've ever been away, leaving HIM at home? I know he traveled before, but have you left him on his own?

I've gone on vacation with my extended family without him before on occasions when he couldn't get off work but I always took the kids with me. It's hard for me to understand but I know that leaving him to feed himself for a week is the equivalent of leaving a HDH to meet his own sexual needs for a week. His father and my son are "cupboard love" types too. My FIL drives his baker wife crazy because his "cupboard love" takes the form of "Here is a list of 200 dietary restrictions I am following because I want to live forever. Your job is to figure out how to cook me something delicious every night within these guidelines.".

I think the main reason he doesn't want me to go on the trip is that he is jealous of my relationship with my sisters. This is hard for me to understand because from my POV they are very different types of relationships, but maybe from an LD POV it would make sense to be jealous of sibling or other platonic relationships because the sex component of a marital relationship seems less important. I guess I better not tell him if I cook anything tasty for my sisters while in AK.
