Do you guys think you should be able to travel without your SO without them getting upset?

Every week? Reasonable for them to be upset

like

As long as you also have dedicated time + trips with your SO, I think it's totally fair to go on friend trips!

If they're upset perhaps an underlying issue... trust, concern about certain activities or behaviors you engage in when around friends, and/or certain friends they don't like or think are bad influences? Or, they're upset that they don't have the same ability to travel with their friends.

I kinda get it. I used to travel with my friends all the time. A lot of guys trips. Then I got married and my wife calmly sat me down and said “you know that since you travel for work, when you have guys trips on a weekend, I don’t see you for two weeks?” Since then, I have cut back on those. Usually take a guys weekend trip once or twice a year, but am cognizant not to have that take away from any family trip we are planning. I even sometimes will try and stop home Sunday night from a guys trip, before hitting the road again on Monday morning...it sounds silly but it really helps

What C1 said. Plus depends on the length of the relationship. If you are early in and have never taken a trip together but bouncing with friends on some cool adventure, seems reasonable for SO to be pissed.

No I mean just traveling with friends for fun. Let’s say your profession doesn’t require travel

Of course

Hell yeah ! Live for urself first

Yes

Yes, it’s your career they should understand, but of course within reason (depends on your family dynamics & logistics of course) but I supported my SO early in his career @80% travel, so when I took on a role that required it, there was no issue

suggest she go travel with her friends... then you go... full proof plan!

Yes. You are two people leading two lives that intertwine together. Time apart allows you to have sense of self. It is healthy for a relationship !

Depends...dating a year or two? Sure, I do it occasionally. Married? That's really where it starts to get strange...

3 years of dating
