It’s not as if I want to take a girls’ trip every month or even every year, but every once in a while, would be fun, and I’d like to resume work trips when they arise. DEAR HOMEBOUND: Your husband is making his baggage your problem and if he’s unwilling to do anything about it,

In today's Asking Eric column, R. Eric Thomas responds to someone who is bothered that their husband doesn't allow them to go on vacations with friends.

"My husband thinks husbands and wives shouldn’t travel separately unless absolutely necessary, that solo trips just open the door for all kinds of issues such as infidelity."

This angers my husband immensely. He tells me “I’m crazy” and that I need to “pull up my big girl panties.” He’s also called me some vile names which I can’t repeat here. I know it’s irrational and I can’t understand why it is happening.
