It all depends on age and context. No you can't have 5 20-somethings going to Daytona Beach or Vegas, I don't care what anyone says.

Conversely, my husband's chavrusa goes yearly with a group of men. One year to Morocco, one year to Lizhenz, one year to Azerbizhan to graves of tzadikim and old Jewish communities. They are all in their high 40s..

I don't think the OP is referring to Uman.

Thanks, I usually avoid the Uman threads but, yeah.

Yes, it is normal among my friends. I might not be normal in your circles.

Men in their high 40s are not immune to the temptations of 20-somethings. Location doesn’t matter, opportunity does.

There are plenty men groups that go to kivrei avos in Europe or lizensk. Or men that go to Miron on Lag boemer.

There should be no peer pressure. If they are bad people, single or married you avoid them! and have a discussion even about friendship. I'm anti vacay away just for fun Uman is NOT that

It all depends on the couple. My grandparents were married for over 55 years, and they always said that the key to their marriage was separate vacations.

Grandpa would go fishing with his buddies, and he would send Grammy anywhere she wanted to go with her friends, all expenses paid. All Grandpa wanted was some male time in a peaceful setting, to drink beer and catch trout.

Ok, it would personally make me uncomfortable. I grew up in a family where my parents did just about everything together. So if my husband wanted to go on vacation without me, that would personally hurt.

On the other hand, I can understand logically a situation where the husband enjoys doing a certain type of activity (cross country biking, visiting kivrei tzadikim, etc) and the wife was not interested in joining so he goes with friends.

I’m the wife that is thrilled when her husband goes on vacation with friends I hate having to leave the kids change my schedule. And I do believe it’s healthy most stuff my husband enjoys doing I don’t and stuff I enjoy doing he doesn’t. Yes we go on vacation together also but not enough for hubs needs so I don’t see what’s wrong. Hubs communicates with me when in vacations and tells me all he does.
