CP May, 2019
I (female, 40yrs old) have been preparing for CF for the last two years and looking forward to starting my journey next week!
But in the last two weeks, all of a sudden, things changed: a friend that I went to highschool with whom I haven't really connected much for over 20yrs invited herself to the camino to walk with me. We used to be good friends but we've been living in different continents for 20 yrs. I sense that she has problems at home and want to escape for a month. Which I understand.
But I just learned that she's having an affair and invited her lover to join us in the middle of the camino. I'm really shocked and regret that I said OK to her joining the trip without really knowing her that well. I also realized that I'm being used as an "alibi" to her husband.
If I realize that we are incompatible during the camino, I'm thinking about splitting and making a detour or going ahead with the bus for some sections so that I don't have to walk with her. What i'm worried though, is that she doesn't speak a word English nor Spanish. I would kind of feel guilty to dump her in the middle.
Do you have any similar experience of relationships going sour and splitting during the camino? I'd love to hear.
