Not a translation question, so much as a cultural one.
I was browsing a fluff article online which contained some data from a British phone survey on relationships, as part of a PR campaign for some new movie (a romantic comedy, I'm assuming.) The study claimed that
Quote:

58 percent of the same sample group [those in relationships longer than three years] enjoy regular holidays without their partners.

Is this really true? It stunned me. I realize that "holiday" to a Brit might mean a much less involved thing than a "vacation" to an American, but it does at least include an overnight stay, right? The survey included both married and unmarried couples, no mention of whether they had children, but still... that's a common thing? To routinely spend a weekend somewhere without your significant other?
