I dislike my partner going for business trips and I travel as well every time he goes aways. Is that okay?

[Anonymous]

Dating for 2 years, not married no kids. I work from home so my schedule is flexible. Lately he started having some business trips as he works as a bodyguard. Example: when the guy he is in charge for goes for a holiday he follows him. He gets paid hotel etc to be with him.

I don't like being alone so I usually spend these days traveling as I kinda feel dumb sitting at home alone while he is away. It makes these days pass faster and I feel full filled as well.

Am I wrong for doing that?

Ok, so a friend of mine has done this (2 wives and many... many unsatisfied girlfriends later... he's still single.). Why? He's acting like he's trying to be young forever. He sees celebrity guys traveling everywhere, is possibly jealous/envious of friends or colleagues who are able to travel too and just wants new and exciting things to talk about... he's a guy... he probably sees himself as being boring without all the adventures to brag about... I know you mention he's traveling for work, but obviously he likes the perks and adventures baked into it, otherwise there wouldn't be any serious motivation for him to continue doing this.

That said, he's not partner/boyfriend material if he's gone more than he's with you -- or if he's unable to be happy spending time with you and take you out properly when you're together...

No, there's nothing wrong with traveling to distract yourself from his shenanigans -- as long as you're not cheating on him while he's actively still your partner.

Sounds unhealthy that you can't deal with being on your own at "30-35"

Where us this relationship going?

Doesn't sound like it's going anywhere permanent, marriage or otherwise. So aside from sex and company - what's the point?

My advice: be single or be casual

If you dont like it talk to him about it and see what he wants to do. Then break up if you two cannot be happy with a compromise

Never travel alone unless you have to

Do whatever you want
