Girl Talk

In just a few hours, I'll be leaving work and off on my first girls trip since I got married. Watching an inordinate amount of Real Housewives of OC (yes, I'm going there) caused me to wonder about the Alexis vs Vicky arguments about girls weekends and whether or not it was appropriate to spend time away from your husband.

I'm decisively on Vicky's side, and I think Mr. H completely agrees with me. Maybe it's the fact that we met early in college (for me at least) when I wasn't ready to give up the sorority life, the girls trips, and the general debauchery. And he was always ok with that and that was always important to me. Not to say that it's one-sided. He goes on trips with the guys and I really don't think twice about it...other than the fact that I have to make other plans for that weekend. I guess what it really comes down to is trust. We both know that nothing bad is going to happen when we're not together.

Although I have to say that I feel like this may be a touch more difficult for me than past girl trips. Mr. H and I have been spending a lot of our free time together (clearly, as married couples do), but I feel like the longer we're married and living together, the more settled down I become and the more I prefer a lazy weekend walking around in the LA sun or going for a bike ride together to pretty much everything else in the world. There are no happier moments for me than the ones that I spend with him...even if we're just vegging on the couch. Luckily, he's going out of town to visit with family so I don't feel any guilt for leaving him alone.

Regardless, I'm looking forward to a weekend of tanning, relaxing, drinking wine and enjoying the company of my best friends. Pin It
