"Business Trips"

I often questioned all of the vacations he took alone, but those weren’t the only times he went M.I.A.  The summer after he proposed, and the week we took our engagement photos, he went on a “business trip.”  His business trips always seemed more like vacations than work, but he didn’t see it that way.  In my opinion, if you’re taking your golf clubs with you, it’s a paid vacation, not business.  Moreover, if you take your friend with you, it’s most definitely pleasure, not business. 

Yup, you got it.  He didn’t ask me to go with him because it was “work”, but he had no problem “working” with his friend.  They went sighting seeing together, gambling, spent time on the beach…all while I thought he was away on business. 

My point is – if you can share a room with your friend, you probably could’ve invited your fiancée.  And if you had to hide all of that, then you probably shouldn’t have gotten annoyed when your fiancée felt slighted.  That argument he should have seen coming faster than his mother walking up the aisle at our wedding…Oh wait, he wouldn’t have seen her walking up the aisle, because he wasn’t waiting at the altar in the first place…
