Leave Pass: A New Website Facilitating Quality Time Apart in Relationships

So he wants a fishing weekend away with mates…..or she wants to indulge at the vineyard with girlfriends…

You need a strategy. Asking the other half to have a weekend away while they are elbow deep in  rubber washing up gloves is not a good idea. A happy mood needs to be created and the experts at Leave Pass have just the solution.

Step 1: Log onto www.leavepass.com.au, choose a beautiful card to be delivered to your husband, wife, lover or partner and compose a message which, in equal parts, expresses your love and appreciation and your need to spend some time with your friends.  “Absence makes the heart grow fonder,” so they say.

For those who don’t possess the gift of the gab, the wordsmiths at Leave Pass have a range of suggested messages to include on the card. They’ve got your back.

Step 2: Add a gift card. While this certainly isn’t essential, putting a dollar figure on your love while you’re away can be an effective technique. It is particularly potent if the gift card can be utilised in your absence. If that’s not your style, you could always offer yourself up as a ‘Slave for a Day’ and give yourself over for day of personal servitude.

Step 3:  Choose a method of delivery. The experts at Leave Pass have a number of suggested options, be it delivery to the workplace, the card simply turning up in the post or hand delivering it yourself. Each has its own advantages, but it’s up to the individual to select the method that will work best.

Step 4: Sit back and enjoy the gratitude (expressed in allowing you to have time with your friends) that heads your way as your partner comes to realise that you are actually aware of their feelings.

IMPORTANT: As any military historian will tell you, that upon coming up against a worthy adversary, it is absolutely crucial to keep the element of surprise to ensure the tactic succeeds. Keep it secret. Don’t tell anyone – until you’ve delivered the package and have approval. Then tell the world!

RISK: Quid pro quo! There is every chance that now you have opened your partner’s eyes to the power of the Leave Pass, you will be requested to grant one in the future.

So who’s behind this superior relationship technology?

Moray Clowes (pronounced ‘Murray’ – it’s Scottish, or something), 40, happily married, formerly worked in corporate treasury and finance. So, yes, he’s probably partly responsible for the GFC.

Wracked with the guilt and shame over his former career, Moray has decided to give something back to the community by sharing this romantic little secret. It’s actually one that he devised himself, off the cuff, when he had to ask his stressed wife whether it was OK to go on a golfing weekend with his mates… for the fourth time that year.

The success of his approach laid the foundations for Leave Pass. This was a secret too good to keep to himself and so, Leave Pass was born.

Not since women were spotted on Venus and men on Mars, has the science of relationships been so well explained.

Educating men, empowering women, saving relationships…

The leave pass is a licence, granted by one person in a relationship, which allows the other to take leave from said relationship for a set period to enjoy time in the exclusive company of their friends.

While seemingly innocuous in its definition, the unavoidable fact that a leave pass deliberately excludes the ‘giver’ from participating in the designated activities makes the leave pass negotiation process fraught with danger.

It is something which needs to be approached with a mix of empathy, gratitude, guile and nous if you are to be successful. Unfortunately, research has shown the ‘asker’ rarely possesses any of these qualities. This is where the experts at Leave Pass can help.
