Posted January 30, 2019 Rather than coming up with the excuse myself, I wait for the window to open up where SO is gone for a certain pre-planned period of time. In my thinking, it minimizes the suspicion. The down side is that I can't go when that urge strikes!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 30, 2019 I have a small business (mostly repairs and upgrades on homes), so "I'm going to do an estimate", or "I'm going to do an emergency repair". I also play music, so "I need to visit club xyz to look for a gig" or "I'm going to check out some equipment at the music store". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 30, 2019 Single, so, not a problem for me. Will say: DO NOT use something like office/buddies happy hour, or anything else where the other half can start making calls. I once got a call from an irate wife asking if I have seen her husband. Said no, last I saw him was at work. Huh, she says, he said he was going out for drinks with you. Oops. He was using the "out with the guys/coworkers" excuse to have an affair with a woman from work. Needless to say, that was the end of that marriage. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have been thinking about starting this very thread recently... it seems my "me time" has become very limited recently... I'm glad to have family, but there are OTHER needs... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who are they? What's their names? So THAT'S where you've been going all those times you're weren't here. Lol. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 30, 2019 I have a massage booked. It accounts for about the same amount of time and accounts for any scents. Plus, I come home nice and relaxed. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 31, 2019 Sorry I didn't think about my lady, I know that sounds kind of mean. But me and my lady, had fallen into the same old dull routine. I responded to an online Ad and though I'm nobody's poet, I thought it wasn't half-bad. I wrote that I'm not much into health food, but into champagne. I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon, and cut through all this red tape. At a place called El Five, where we'll plan our escape." 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's pretty much the time frame that getting out is virtually impossible! Anxiously awaiting some good excuses here! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
