Name Changed for this.
Roughly about 3 months ago partner had a mental health crisis. Been supporting him but as with anything it's taking forever to access the help for him.

Long story short he was feeling very trapped in his own head & environment. Both agreed that a change of scenery would do him good. So his best friend offerred and has taken him away to the countryside to just get him out of city air.

Only been gone a day but I can hear the relief and less stress him in already. Guess he just needed a break.

I know I shouldn't be feeling like this but somehow I feel sad/disappointed. Keep thinking maybe he needed a break from me & kids. Of course now like a silly sod keep overthinking on it Sad

You're not silly! Hugs!

We all sound more relaxed when on a break or holiday from our normal lives, mental talk health issues or not. It has no reflection on "home", it's just nice to get away.
You sound lovely.
Make sure you're getting some self care time also.

@ScottishNewbie thankyou for much for such nice words. I'm definitely planning a self care moment for myself tomorrow x

It sounds like he just needed a break from his usual responsibilities. That is not a bad reflection on you.

I hope the time away does him good, and that you also look after yourself too.

@XenoBitch thankyou I hope so too.
