The last work trip that I went on was a complete roller coaster of meetings and presentations. I don’t even remember a single moment of peace I had because I was constantly anxious about how the next presentation would go. My point is that these trips are not always fun as you are so stressed out about work.
But the original poster (OP) didn’t really register this, for she insisted on joining her husband on his business trip. Well, after being hit by jetlag, she wanted to go back home, and he was also forced to leave.
