Yeti, the way I understood it, those adult "sleepovers" (Laci and her friends) were basically "girls' night out."

All over, where I live, the women have what used to be called "hen parties," now called "girls' night out." The, ahem, older ones do not go out anywhere, they just go to one of their houses. Some of these "girls" take trips to the beach together, or maybe a short ski trip.

They don't do it often--maybe once a year, or if it's just a simple get-together, maybe 2 or 3 times a year.

The husbands don't seem to mind at all. A night or two a year, away from one's spouse, is not going to cramp anyone's marriage. And the women get a little vacation from the kiddies, with whom they otherwise spend much more time than the husbands do (due to the necessities of the husbands' work, which itself often involves travel.)

I realize Laci's girl get-togethers were overnighters, but I definitely don't think the women were using them as an opportunity to cheat. It all comes down to, you know, the basic differences btw the female personality, and the male personality. Vive la difference!

Hm, where have I heard that term before?

Anyway, I have no idea what the little gatherings are about, but they are different. At least, for the standard married couple.

Am I way off base about that? Not saying they prove or disprove anything, but I am curious, are there married women on this thread who run their husbands off for spend-the-night parties?
