Is it okay to go on a weeks vacation without your girlfriend??

Question

Ok, here's the deal.... I've been living with my girlfriend for 2 years and overall everything is good. We are inseperable and overall happy. The only issues I have with her is she is VERY dependent and wants to do everything with me. I'm a very independent person and at times I just want time to myself. Once a week I go play softball with my friends and she is okay with that. 50% of the time she comes out to cheer me on and the other times she stays at home and relaxes. Aside from that, we do the majority og things together. Heck we even work together and have lunch together most of the time. Well, my father is going on a weeks vacation to see his mom (my grandmother) down in Florida in a month. He "hinted" that he'd like for me to come down with him and I'd like to go have a week with him and spend time with my grandmother. My girlfriend just started working the same place I do and cannot really take any time off for a year so she cannot go regardless. I'm just stressing about letting her know that I want to go as I dont want to hear the grief about doing somethign without her. I know she has insecurity problems (even she will admit it) but I just don't feel like this is something that she should be upset about. If she wanted to go away for a week with family and I couldnt go, i would be totaly fine with it. I know our personalities are different but it shouldnt matter. Ladies... am I wrong? Any suggestions on how to break it to her on my intentions?

Answer 1

if i was your girlfriend i wouldnt mind....but i wouldnt get a job where you work neither, im sorry but that would annoy me.

but just tell her, i dont see why she would mind

Answer 2

family comes first before anything, if she don't like where you're going then break up with her, she's only your girlfriend they're replaceable, family aren't.

Answer 3

i dont know how old your grandma is but i  mean they only have so much time left also i dont know how often you can visit her so i would just explain to her that this might be one of your last times being able to spnd a lot of time with her she will understand

answer mine plz

Answer 4

Well you'll be spending time with your grandma and dad I don't imagine you'll be going to strip clubs with them, so she should understand.

Answer 5

Some girls believe going away without them leads to no good.  But you're going to see your grandma.  Geesh...  start off by telling her you were talking to your father about your grandma and he's going to see her in <insert month here>, I'd like to see Grandma too and am thinking of going with him.  Then prepare for her drama.  In the end, she has to understand...
