1. I agree - too long, but only because of selfish reasons.  I have two
kids, and a month without a mommy is too much - heck, a couple hours without
the mommy is too much!
2. Also, because I'd miss her too much - I've grown accustomed to her
company ;)
3. okay, but what would the termination charges look like?  Can't you get a
service plan modification for an existing cell phone on a  temp basis?
4. just be rude, and say "haw haw haw" through your nose - you'll be okay.

One word - trust.  I can see your POV though.  I dislike it on the once per
year occasions when Karin goes out with her sister.  I prefer it when her
sister watches the kids and Karin and *I* go out.

FYI:  This is never a good discusion to have with your significant other.
Shit, I've been married just over five years and I still hate conversations
like that.  Normally, when she says she wants to go out with her sister I
say something like "I'm not comfortable with this, but trust that you'll be
responsible in your activities."  She says the same thing to me if I want to
go out with the guys.  Odd thing is, if it's daylight out, neither of us has
a problem.  For instance - I play paintball a couple times per month on
Sunday mornings - Karin has no problem (except she wants to go too).  If
Karin wants to go to the mall during the afternoon, I have no problems.  Odd
that darkness should bring out our fears...
