Leaving Spouse for the Weekend

Do any of you folk ever get into a fight or have tension when you have to go away from home for a couple of days?

I want to go to my Mom's trailer this weekend with my family because I don't think she will make it to next year. My wife doesn't wan to go because she needs to stay home and take care of the dogs plus she doesn't like big gatherings.

Anyway their is always a tension, and she gets angry when I leave although I have only gone back home 4 times in 21 years.

she's attached to you? Or is she jealous? Or both?

@Miram She is a bit controlling and she hates being alone, although she has gone places without me for a week at a time and I dont' complain.

@JimboSaturn she should understand. I think I am the attached type but I'd not get upset about it for long. Your time with your mother isn't something you can ever get back.
