I understand the feeling. I've been on the road 3 years and have hit low points deeper, darker and more depressing than I ever could have imagined possible. Yet I've always gotten through it, usually with the love and acceptance of a complete stranger. Here are a few random thoughts, perhaps you can pull something out that will help you. If you want some more detail, just let me know.

Traveling with someone is very hard. I've seen travel end many relationships. I have seen only a small handful of people travel together more than 6 months who are still happy with it. A friend of mine once said that a day of travel is as intense as a week of living together or an entire month of dating!

Travel changes a person. A lot. Yet accepting that I have changed is sometimes difficult and it has caused me to give myself a lot of grief over the years. This is part of why travel is so hard on relationships as each person is changing in different ways that are not always compatible.

It was hard to let go of my old dreams and accept new dreams.

Any time I feel depressed, angry or frustrated about travel I now know it is time that something must change.

In my experience, everyone traveling for a long period of time goes through the exact same pattern in adjusting to travel. There specific times when everyone traveling either changes how they travel (or who they are) or stops traveling. Common symptoms include: Depression, homesickness, and/or a temporary loss of interest in travel. Those transitions happen every 3-6 months. It seems to take a minimum of 1.5 years for all of them to complete. Not a lot of people last that long, which is fine! Traveling the world for years at a time isn't something everyone enjoys, even those of us who have dreamed of doing so!

Good luck, whatever happens!
