Vacationing Solo? 12 Things Not to Do If You’re Leaving Your Guy Behind (5 of 7)

8. Don’t Dismiss His Feelings

If he’s feeling uneasy about your trip, don’t roll your eyes or brush it off. Even if you know there’s nothing to worry about, his feelings still deserve care. A little reassurance can go a long way. Just hearing “I get it, and I’m here” can ease his mind. Making space for those conversations doesn’t mean you’re giving up your freedom—it shows you value the relationship, even when you’re apart.

9. Don’t Make Promises You Can’t Keep

If you say you’ll call every night, make sure you mean it. And if that’s not realistic, don’t promise it. It’s better to keep things low-pressure and check in when you genuinely can than to set an expectation you don’t follow through on. Missing a call might seem small, but it can leave your partner feeling unimportant. Thoughtful honesty goes a long way in keeping trust strong.
