Vacation without your SO

How does your SO act when you're on a vacation (with family or friends)? 
I'm only asking because I was away for a week with my family and things got out of hand. I called him every night and fights would break out majority of the time due to jealousy or insecurity. We fought to the point where I didn't want to call him anymore to tell him my day. So I just wanted to know how does your SO handle this??
