Well, ok, this is part of the problem: I DO enjoy time to myself for a few hours in the afternoon, but I seriously can't stand to be by myself overnight. Even when I imagine spending the night with one of my best girl friends (which I did in high school and had such a blast), just me and her talking and watching movies and eating crap...*shrug* It doesn't do it for me. Even in the fantasy I want to come home and be with Grant. I really can't imagine wanting to be away from him for days at a time, and don't think I'd like it at all. Let alone here in the house feeling creeped about every little noise with just the kids in their beds. So, there isn't that "fair is fair" thing, you know? I've used that for, like, him going out to the movies or whatever with guy friends or out to take pictures by himself, but this is really different because there isn't any sort of parallel with stuff I'd like to do as well.
I hope that he'll come home happier; I'm afraid he'll come home sorely depressed about getting back to the daily grind and wishing he could do it more often. Hopefully not ;)
The whole Outward Bound thing sounds interesting. He and I are settling on a 3 day 2 night sort of thing - I'm not sure if he'd prefer a group sort of thing like what you mentioned or not. He is a solitary sort of person, I dunno. Maybe?
