    But why should your reason have to be some kind of work related reason for it to be seen as valid why can't I just take 2 months off because I 'wanted' to. Where is this unwritten rule that states I have to be working all the time or as much as possible otherwise there must be an issue it drives me mad.

    One of my inlaws drives me nuts over this they live abroad and there is a self employed plumber that they know that goes out to the house they own there quite often, they can't understand how they can keep coming out 'surely they must have work' or its 'how can they not be working' I keep telling them not everyone needs to be earning money every day/week/month to manage/survive/live they just don't get it.
