Guys, Men, please tell me why a man would repeatedly "go ghost" on his S/O for 1-2 days every couple of months?

If a man who is engaged or married, sends his S/O a text or message that says " be back in a couple of days" and does this every few months, could he be telling the truth, that he just wants to "be" without any responsibility for a couple of days? Do you think that could be truthful about stress, pressures, etc... even offered to be tracked by GPS, but says " you will see it's not cheating, but you will be more mad once you see the locations? Really, please tell me thoughts on this...

What Guys Said 22

  • Well, there is no better feeling sometimes then just getting away from everyone and everything for a couple days and having a change in scenery but having said that, if you're engaged, he should be open and honest with you about where he's going. Trust and communication are so important in a marriage. I'm wondering by what you've said here if there's something about himself that he's afraid to share with you for whatever reason (and not saying cheating, could be anything, like example he's a closet nudist?). Again, honesty and communication (which creates trust) is so important and if you don't have that going in even, I'd maybe give marriage a second thought? Talk to him about why he's hiding the locations and why you would be mad. He needs to be open and honest with you especially.

  • That's just odd behaviour in my opinion. I like to just "be" also, but would love it if my SO would come along too.

  • Sounds like to me COMMUNICATION isn't a strong point in this relationship. I would be like UH WHAT? Tracked by GPS? MF tell me where you are going and why? What is this mystery marathon shit? And why would you be MAD? This has serious issues written all over it.

  • I don't know, sounds like he has a vice. He kind of hinted in the last sentence, "You will see it is not cheating, but you will be more mad when you see the locations."

    Maybe gambling or drugs. At the very least it's a strip club, which he doesn't consider cheating.

      Plus it's a regular monthly occurrence.

      my thoughts! Those are questions, this is not for me but a friend, however I thought I would poll other men for her through this site... it seems odd to me, but yet somewhat normal?

      I don't know, it's hard to say.

  • I'd often like to know these things myself. Men seem to rarely act as well as they used to anymore. Guys should always keep in touch with their woman. Even at long distance, at least once a day. I often feel the only gentlemen left in the world are the men in my family with so many of these sorts of complaints.

  • chuckle. He's in Las Vegas or a similar place, but of course, it's not cheating.
    Perhaps he could give you a good price on some slightly used bridges.

  • We all need me time.
    He is OBVIOUSLY being truthful, given the infrequency of his retreats.
    Give the guy a chance to breathe And extend to him the very common courtesy of a bit of privacy.

      This is a question for a friend, I think it is a cool thing he is doing, but just trying to get input from other men for her...

  • I get how he could want a few days for breathing room, I feel the same and kind of need it to recharge my batteries. The last part though is pretty odd.

  • You clearly understand the " man cave " concept , so I believe this is similar. Men do need time where they are simply left alone , this is why men dump women , for always nagging , complaining , talking " at " the man in question , this is why I did , in addition to her chronic laziness & lack of any appreciation.

  • Hmm... this is interesting. He's probably going to the strip club or casinos

  • Visiting a relative in prison?
    A trip to Pahrump?
    On a special shopping spree?

    For me it's a bike trip, but I just say that, so I dunno.
    Is this real or something just made up?

      another woman who would see him only a couple of days every couple of months?

  • It's because he's a 12 year old boy who plays games on social media.

  • Well it could be true but the only way to make peace with this is track him with the GPS. Another option is to just leave him.
