    Heavens yes. I'd be incredibly annoyed if I wasn't allowed to go off somewhere, there's not a snowballs chance in hell of me not "allowing" someone to go on holiday if they so choose.

    I can't believe your friends are stirring things up like that! Sounds to me like a bad case of jealousy along the lines of 'How come she gets on so well with her boyfriend? And he treats her so well too!'

    Tell your friends that you trust your boyfriend, he treats you the way you want to be treated, and round it off with 'Can you not be happy for me?'. Really, you shouldn't have to explain yourself (or your boyfriend), but you might have to in order to put an end to such talk.

    I have to say if anything I would be more pissed that my OH was probably using half their holiday allocation for going away without me meaning they weren't planning on going on holiday with me that year

    had this discussion today with a friend, she said she would have an issue with her bf going away with a group of lads or a group of lads or girls.... i on the other hand wouldnt... and im heading away for 3 weeks with a gang of guys and girls... didnt 'ask' him, just booked and told him... all he said was 'i better get a nice present' typical!!!

    I'd be more shocked that he actually managed to make a decision to do something rather than just saying, "I dunno, I'm not really bothered, well actually, maybe in a wee while, not sure yet..."

    Nah, they didn't say it in a forceful way, just as a sort of matter-of-fact type thing.

    The holiday was booked before we got together, so I just say that.

    I think its healthy for men and women to go on their own holidays once in awhile. My boyfriend loves it when I go on my own hols cause that means that means he can go on his own with the lads too. Give eachother some freedom in the relationship and trust is what it is all about. If you would not be able to trust him to go abroad on hols, don't trust him to go to the shop on the corner I would say.

    And being from Holland, what is wrong with going on hols to Amsterdam? Know the stigma the city has, but there is more to it than the wacky backy and red light district. For men to go there does not mean they will have to all that has been not legalised this this country or drop the trousers when they see women behind windows ;)

    I don't get this either, it's not as if marijuana and prostitutes are difficult to acquire in Ireland.
