Dear Readers,

Dear Eric: 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. (He's speaking from personal experience.) As a travel agent, I'd often enjoyed solo travel before we were married, including while we were dating, and I miss it. I've passed up many work trips since we've been married because my husband mocks them, saying they're not really work trips as, of course, they involve travel to fun places since that's my job. I love to travel, and he does not, so we've compromised in this area.
