My H has asked off for the week of Christmas this year and I was going to do the same, but I haven't put in my request yet. I just found out MM will be taking the week AFTER Christmas off and he requested I do the same. He says he doesn't want to go two full weeks without seeing me. (Although we'd only work two days the week of Christmas, so it still would be almost two weeks...) Personally, I'd prefer to be off the same time as him because I don't want to be at work when he's not here. It's so lonely without him. So if I do take the week of Christmas off, I'll probably take the week after off as well... It would be really good for MM and I to be at work the 22nd and 23rd because no one will be here and we'll probably get to talk more privately than normal. Anyway, my QUESTION is, can I do this without arousing my H's suspicion? I figure I'd word it as, if we take the week after off, we'll be out from the 24th through the 2nd of January whereas if we take just Christmas week off we'll only be off for one week... But then H will have to burn up 4 vacation days instead of 2. Does it seem suspicious to you? Have you all ever done anything like this?

you should make your suggestion to H about changing the vacation leave at christmastime, but don't argue with your H if he wants to stick to the original plan. that would be suspicious, don't you think. just bring it up and let him think about it for a couple of days. usually men say "no" first and think about the topic and end up saying "yes" later.
good luck,
