Leaving a partner at home while away long term - How do you cope ?
I'm sure I'm not the only one here in this predicament.
I have a girlfriend of many years who I've left home alone twice, both for 6 months at a time..
The first time she was very understanding although not happy about it. The second time she was very pissed off and it almost ended our relationship...We survived though. Just !!
My problem is that I want to go away again but she has no interest in bike travel or the inclination to save and travel for such long periods of time.
I know I'm selfish but this is who I am and this is what I do ! Is it fair to just expect her to put up with me ? I would hate to have to decide between travel and my girlfriend.
This is surely not a new problem !! What does one do with a partner who doesn't want you to go and also doesn't want to go with you ??
It would cost too much and be a major PITA to fly back every few weeks or have them fly out now and then. I don't want to go to places near international airports etc.
I'm keen to hear what other people do in this situation.
