Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:11:32 GMT

DEAR MISS MANNERS: I have been in a relationship with a woman for six months now. Things have been really great; we get along well, make each other laugh a lot and are mutually supportive.The thing is, she goes on business trips once or twice a month that range from a couple of days to a full week. Don’t get me wrong — it’s kind of nice because I get to do things I’m not normally allowed to, like go out for wings with the boys or sit on the couch in my underwear and watch the shows I want to.But lately, I’ve started to wonder if the trips are really for business, like she says, or if they might be short getaways.She gets really excited leading up to these trips, and when she gets back, she always seems a little disappointed.That sounds a lot like vacation to me, and I am not OK with her taking vacations without me.Related ArticlesAdvice | Miss Manners: I don’t know how to navigate my rom-com life Advice | Miss Manners: A...
