Boyfriend going travelling

[Mojocatlady]

My boyfriend and I have been together around 18 months. He's going travelling for 5 weeks next month on his own for his 40th birthday. He likes to travel and visit different countries and has always done this. Im just finding it hard to accept this as I feel its wrong to do this when in a committed relationship and can't understand why he would want to leave me for this long if he loves me. Im not sure if I'm being unreasonable and would like other people's opinion please

I LOVE solo travelling and have done it for years. I would hope that if I get into a relationship I would still be able to travel alone from time to time.
It does sound, however, that his trip may not be the only issue here.

Will he want to do this regularly, beyond his 40th, even going away on his own each year for a couple of weeks? He may not say he will, but don't be too sure.

If he hasn't done this before, he might be a very changed person when he gets back. Get the bug and review his life. Many do.

Well if you stay a couple you'll have to listen to all of his wonderful tales when he gets back.

You can't control him, but it's your choice if you want to commit many more years (or waste - however you see it) on this relationship.

So what if he does?
There are bigger issues than travelling. For some people travelling is hugely importantly.

not - so if he does, that's something the OP will want to consider. It might bother her, or it might not.

JamesBlonde1 I think she has bigger problems than solo holidays that need considering!
