A mans input please

ja1986

My boyfriend has been working away for the last three months and is home at weekends to see me and the kids. So I was thinking of booking a room at the hotel he stays in during the week to surprise him. do guys actually like that stuff or is it a bit cheesy. He's up there working with other guys so I don't want to to be getting the piss taken outta him!

he he. man's input. he he.

His girlfriend mightn't like that.

Sheep Lover

No don't, you'll probably interrupt him and the bit on the side, could be awkward for all.

Macavity.

Depends on the guy really. If it was sprung on me I mightn't like it as I like to know what's going on, maybe I had made plans etc.. But that's just me.

I wouldn't, he could be ribbed mercilessly...and then the lads might find out.

Oh my god maybe I should have thought of a better heading! Ya but I don't think he sees his other girlfriend that much so it's ok

Annasopra

Go for it

I think I should have asked the girl section!

If you want the girl's opinion, you have to say 'Ok, now ladies', 'Yeah', 'I said what's cooler than being cool', 'Ice cold', 'I can't hear you, I said now ladies', 'Yeah'?..etcs

ardle1

Ehhhh, nah that sounds cool, but maybe text him just before he finish's work, in case he heads for pints or watever, text him that Hotel Name and your new room number, he'll think your taking the pis$...... But shir he'll be delighted in the end, WONT HE!

It's hard to say for all men. To give an obvious answer, all men are different. I would like that idea personally, but maybe your fella wouldn't. Personal preference and all.

humbert

I'm sure he's mentioned what his days/evenings are like. If they are lonely/boring then it's probably a nice idea, if they are frantic or involve socialising with work then it's not so clear.

Terrible idea. Honestly.

Guys don't like that stuff.

"He's up there working with other guys"......be prepared for the moment you discover that he's part of a male striptease act.

The_Valeyard

If he has been away that long, he might just like to stay home, reconnect, relax,


maybe treat him to some beer, takeaway, good evening tv and a passionate night of sex?

Ya your right all he wants to do is just laze at the weekends when he's home.

From a physique point of view, more like The Full Monty than Magic Mike perhaps???

mountsky

Its a great idea an all but he may not be as enthused,what works for the goose doesn't always work for the gander and all that jazz, good luck with it

chrissb8

Do it. He needs it more then he thinks. But seriously do tell him before sounds like he's a busy bee. He'll be more annoyed he can't then you coming to him out of the blue. Only dickheads don't like surprises. Surprises mean you thought of someone.

Perhaps leave the kids with parents/sitter that you would have used if you went to an hotel?

Bottle of wine, duvet in front of the fire, massage oil .........

Brilliant idea... ladies input

CelticRambler

Very much depends on what he's doing those evenings. You need to find that out first. When I've spent time working away, I've used the evenings to process stuff from the day just finished or work on things for the next day or the next week, especially if I was in a competitve (or ambitous) environment. I do like surprises (usually) but having my wife unexpectedly turn up in the middle of a work-day-night would not have been good for either of us. I use to take her with me from time to time by arrangement, and I'd take the children to three- or four-day conferences, but you have a different kind of mentality when you're "working away" so be careful !

DrGreenthumb

I never read your post only the title,

So where would you like me to input it,

in your mouth?

Banned for that unacceptable remark.

You want to surprise me ....book a weekend break, whisk me off by surprise when I turn up on a Friday evening / Saturday morning. Whether its New York or Killybegs or points inbetween (might get wet) doesn't matter. Just take my breathe away.
Turning up at the place of work, my head wouldn't be in the right mood. surprise me when I'm ready to be surprised if you get my drift.

If he stays there already why not bribe whoever is on reception and get the key to his room and wait for him to come back.

Naked obviously.

What about the "Surprise, I'm going to kill you" kind of surprise because I'm not too fond of those surprises? I guess I'm a dickhead

Op, I say go for it as long as you know he isn't busy.

Marz66

Ya find out if he works in the evenings or if he just watches TV in his room etc in which case he should be glad to see you.

My oh used to surprise me but he would text me mid way through the day to say he was just booking his train ticket to see me. That gave me the chance to say if I was too busy or to look forward to the evening ahead I know that's difficult if u need to make kids arrangements in advance

I'll have some of whatever you're smoking !

If he's staying away in a place during the week, surely he want's to come home to his house at the weekend? Seems odd to think that he'd prefer ANOTHER 2/3 nights living out of a suitcase in a hotel. I've been in his position and can tell you I'd have hated it.

Seaba

As a guy I would LOVE it - my girlfriend joins me for the weekend, for a bit of TLC etc, with NO KIDS around!

Only thing is that you might consider staying somewhere other than the hotel as if he is staying there all week he might like to get away from it. Text to say "Don't come home this weekend, come to this B&B, room whatever, I'll be waiting....;-)"

Yeah, he might carry the trauma of that into Transition Year

Yeah. I'd ask too see if he's working nights. Some people prefer to send their free at home and would rather take an unpaid day off at home than work a day and spend all the money they earned on a hotel.

cletus van damme

As a guy with a gf and kids , I'm not sure I'd like it too much
I don't like surprises , in fact I like planned events cos I can anticpate them. But that's me everybody is different.

yermandan

I'd love it

Tordelback

Sounds great to me, OP, if I was working away I'd be thrilled to see my wife in the evening instead of just weekends, especially without the kids.

Actually, I'd like to see the kids too, but your plan may be better.

dont bother

Dont go for the reason of being suspicious or "curious" of what he might be "up to" during the week.

and even if you aren't going for this reason, there's still a chance he could be offended if he thinks that's why you're there.

if you're both rock solid, and you've surprised each other before like this, then definitely go for it, he'll love it.

but if you're the "suspicious" type or anything like that, then leave it. will cause more harm than good maybe

enda1

Ah, during the week! Sorry misread the OP. Yeah go ahead. But why would you need to book another room? Could you not just stay in his with him?

The One Doctor

My god. Men saying that the girlfriend shouldn't turn up wanting sex. Perhaps the men posting that are not big fans of sex. Otherwise, why would they suggest not turning up?

Go for it, OP.

Fat Christy

Only you know OP. None of us know your OH.

If you decide not to go I have input to spare.
