[QUOTE="Shefollowsarrows, post: 267423, member: 29151"] Do any of you have a spouse or significant other that really doesn't understand the need to do a Camino more than once, twice, three+ times...or even at all? My husband very reluctantly supported my dream of walking the Camino in 2013. Due to injury I only made it to Leon (started in Pamplona) After home, and injury healed, I wanted to go back and start in SJPP this time. He somewhat supported it, but we didn't talk for a week after I discussed my 'need' to return. I went back June 2014 and finished in July 2014. One of the best experience of my life... as I have been a mother, wife, and step parent since I was 18 years old and never had the desire or opportunity to leave my family for a month. All kids are raised now, I'm 43, and full of ambition to do the things I couldn't before. My issue now is...I want to go back again. He has no desire to walk the Camino, I've tried that route! I know this is going to make my husband very upset because he worries about me...I know he will get over it...but it will leave me feeling selfish. That drains the excitement of returning. Does anyone else have an otherwise wonderful spouse/significant other who just doesn't get the whole Camino experience and the desire to return? How have you handled it? I'm so torn and it is making me sad and quiet lately...feels like depression..feels like I should let the Camino go in order to make my husband happy...but then I won't be...doesn't settle well with me. I feel it's 'my turn' to do the things I've wanted to do after supporting our children and him my entire life...and he got very comfortable with that... I know you aren't marriage therapists, but you do 'get it' when it comes to the Camino and I wonder if I'm the only one in this group who has this going on within them and around them. Thanks.
