But for some reason it feels like a difficult decision.
BF is running a marathon 300 miles from home. He's a good runner and has done lots of marathons, as have I, so whilst it's never a small thing, it's not huge for us.
He'd planned to go with 3 friends, drive up together, have a couple of evenings out on the town (dry the night before, not so much the night after!) and I was perfectly happy to wish him luck for the race and for him to go and have a good weekend.
A few things have changed. One friend is no longer going, so there's a spare bed. BF's training hasn't gone well, he's worried in a way I haven't seen him before. He wants me to go so we can have some quality time together (he thinks the friends will do their own thing and we can do ours).
He's very very supportive of my running, and although he's not said it, this is the first time he's really wanted my support, and I'd like to be there for him if needed.
However, I'm not sure I'd be thrilled if I were the friends. They've already lost one of their number and now another is about to abandon them. I would be support crew for all of them though!
I do have something I've agreed to do that weekend, that I'm really not looking forward to, so it's possible I'm looking for a get out. That would involve me letting down a friend, which is something I'm usually very particular about.
I really love this man and my instinct is to jump at the chance to spend a weekend with him and support him, but I suspect the reality will be less romantic 😆
Wwyd?
