Is it an addiction
Last year my husband suddenly decided to walk the Camino de Santiago alone. He made it clear that I was not welcome to join him, although I would have liked to have walked a few stages and then, perhaps, catch a bus.
Since then he has been obsessed with the Camino, making contact through forums with others who have or plan to walk, talking to them on the telephone and even meeting them whenever they come to our city. It is mostly women that he meets and he tells me firmly that I am not welcome.
My questions are: Has anyone else had this happen? Has anyone any suggestions as to why this is happening or what I should do? Am I right to think that it may be about him trying to break free of me?
Perhaps most importantly – has he learned nothing from the experience of making his pilgrimage that he can bring to his every day life to enhance it? Is he, in fact, just obsessed with the experience to the extent that he wishes to re-enact it over and over.
