Would you stay with your girlfriend if she told you she was going travelling around australia and not giving you a time frame of how long she's going to be out there?
Hello Chris,
There are a lot of factors to consider and you have not provided much information. But my answer would be yes. I am drawn to people who need to travel and see new things. A time frame doesn't mean much because they might change their mind.
I would not break up with someone because they needed to travel. I would support and encourage their need. I assume for whatever reason she wants to go alone or your are unable to join her. I would ask if you can meet her for a weekend along the road.
Count yourself lucky to know someone who wants an adventure.
Reply to this I have quite happily gone travelling by myself with my bf (now hubby) not coming along. I love to experience new things, can easily meet new people and I have no intention of 'hooking' up with anyone else. you will have to trust her but if it's meant to be I believe it's meant to be 😊

Reply to this I assume that you don't want to go with her? If this is the case, then although it's difficult, it's understandable. Some of us just need to travel, and if someone were to stop us, we are likely to resent them for it. In your life you have things that you really want to do, and going to Australia sounds like one of those things for her.
Is there no chance for you to go too, if not for a long time then for holidays? That way you could keep your relationship going. Skype and the plethora of social networking sites makes the world smaller now and will help you keep in touch. At the end of the day, if it's meant to be, it's meant to be.
Reply to this I think I would want a rough idea of how long they would be away. If someone told me they werte going travelling indefinitely I would kind of assume they were breaking up with me. But if it was something they'd always wanted to do and i wasn't able to go too, or didn't want to, I'd be happy for them to go off and discover new things.
Reply to this Hello Chris,
We'd love to hear an update on what happened?
Reply to this I cant really answer your question but I can tell you that me and my bf go through this all the time. I love to travel and will never turn down an opportunity to see a new place, and my boyfriend doesn't really have the travel bug. we have different ideas of camping and even when I do small adventures close to home he is usually content to stay home which works for me because I highly enjoy the alone time. It gives me time to soul search see clearer and really see things. When I go for a walk on my own or travel on my own I will take an entire day just getting lost and wandering around just looking at things going down streets because they look interesting when you are with someone else you tend to miss the little things around you. So I understand why she would want to go alone if for some reason you are willing to go... I would say that if she doesn't even want you to visit her for even a weekend or something then it might be something more then soul searching im not saying she might want to break up or that she is planning on being unfaithful but there is a freedom to truly being disconnected from your other life on a trip... and when you are in that mindset
Reply to this you don't really want anything to disrupt it pulling you back into the real world... but its hard to go back to normal unless that person experienced that same thing... I wish you luck bud I know its hard I would say listen to your own heart and mind and decide if you can handle it. ask her what she wants. exactly what she wants and try not to judge and make assumptions
