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!!

Well, then...like me, you should benefit greatly from this thread. 😉

I'm like a sponge.  Wherever, whenever I can learn, I try to.

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".

I'm is sales and subject to working pretty much 24/7, therefore, work is always my go-to out.

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.

That should make you quite popular with some ladies. ;)

Thank you, that's one I could actually use/get away with... 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...

You have other hobby associations? I feel like we're being cheated on. Who are they? What's their names? So THAT'S where you've been going all those times you're weren't here. Lol.

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.

Could I write a note?

A day trip for work?  Meeting clients? Send the wifey to a spa day and hotel pampering?

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."

Usually no excuse, just try and take time off work when I can get away. maybe i also need to learn some good ones so I am not so limited in availability. great thread :)

That's pretty much the time frame that getting out is virtually impossible! Anxiously awaiting some good excuses here!
