Re: what would you do
Posted by Hofstra26
For me, I wouldn't go. For one, I wouldn't want to be away on vacation without all of us together. But also, I'm guessing Hawaii is a trip you've never taken before and if it were me, I wouldn't want to take a trip like that without having my DH there to experience it with me. I know I am in the minority but we don't vacation without each other.
I agree with this.

Re: what would you do
I'd go. NYE is only as big of a deal as you make it to be. And I think being there for your sister in a difficult time is the right thing to do. Added bonus- you're being there for her IN HAWAII.
ETA: DH and I love to travel together but it's not always possible. And I think travelling separately is wonderful in it's own way. DH has gone to Ireland without me and I went to NOLA without him. We both had a great time and while we missed each other, it wasn't that big of a deal.

what would you do
I feel like if my DH knew he'd have the house to himself for a few days he'd probably pack my bags for me! 
In all seriousness, if my DH felt THAT strongly about me not going I would probably stay home. But I definitely wouldn't be happy about it.

Re: what would you do
I would ask if DH could go too - then he could offer to take care of your DD and your sisters child ( children) so you could hang with your sister. Its hard to be alone during the holidays so I feel for your DH - why not all go and then everyone is happy? How would you feel if he took your DD and spent some of the holidays with his family and excluded you? I bet if you posted that scenario the responses would be different and people would say that your DH was selfish for going to Hawaii without you during the holidays...anyway my two cents!

Go. It's for family and it is a great opportunity.
DH is being a big baby about being alone and should just suck it up for your and your child's sake.
This. But, I would have a serious conversation with him and tell him that in addition to helping your sister, this is a trip HIS daughter will remember for a lifetime and she gets to make these memories with her cousins. Then, I would urge him to find a way to visit his sister during this time.
I'm married 21 years and there is no way I would pass on this. If you do, imho, you'll regret it.

Re: what would you do
I would go. I have taken many family trips without dh. Usually he is working or just is not interested in going. Also our work schedules do not mesh up where we can go. Hawaii for us would be different and he would try to come because he does not want to visit it with me. New Years would not matter since we are not big New Years evers.

Ok, I am the only no so far. I think you should go. It would be a great trip! But I said no because your husband doesn't want you to go. I just wouldn't do something like that without my husband being ok with it
I agree with this. I don't know how I'd feel if DH went to Hawaii without me.
I said yes because under the circumstances I think that he should be understanding that you are going to support your sister. She is going thru a hard time and she probably could use a vacation. I think that my husband would give me a hard time about it as well so in the end it would depend on how opposed to it he was. If he was adamant about me not going I probably wouldn't.
