I got the impression from the story that the family was not panicking or filing missing-persons reports. If it’s OK with them, it’s OK with me ... a guy can go away for a few days.
Cool. I agree he has a right to go away. I would even say any man has a right to get away for a while, even from his family. But I wouldn’t be out of communication with them. That’s a bit odd to me...especially when you have children.
