Hi,
Help! My head is all over the place!
The Camino has always been in my thoughts, but recently I just can't stop thinking about it. I'm on forums talking about it, and seeing people doing it now.
It's hard not to want to be there doing it again.
I think about doing it in September, this year. I would love my husband to do it with me, but he finds it difficult to just up and go from his job.
The are a few factors that are "stopping" me.
My husband and i are talking about doing a big move. From Canada to England. It was always on the cards....as I was born and bred in England. He is from Canada, but has family in Spain and just loves Spain as much as I do.... well maybe not as much, but almost! Haha
We have been talking about moving for about a year and a half, but he has only just (January) seriously started looking for a job. He is trying...but I feel he is also dragging his feet a little.
For him he needs the security of a job before he moves, whereas I would just jump on a plane today. I'm being patient, trying to compromise, but I struggle to believe we'll be leaving before September. And it's like I need a back up plan.
Ideally, I'd love him to quit his job, we go walk the Camino, and then arrive in England and look for a job. We're definitely not rich, but we do have a bit of savings, that could facilitate this easily. (And that's before the sale of our house, which were initially just thinking to rent out.)
I am almost certain he wouldn't go for this idea....although I have been nervous to talk to him about it. He struggles with my spontaneous side and sometimes doesn't understand me. One minute I want to do 'this' and the next 'that'.... which is a little bit true.... but I also can work hard for things. I don't expect everything to happen right away, or land on my lap. I just have lots of goals.
I'm just eager to get moving, to do something meaningful again. Is it fair to ask him to do the walk in September with me? Or is it fair to say I want to go do it with or without him, in September, if we haven't moved by then?
I have been itching to go back for a while, but I knew for myself I needed to put some time between my last trip and the next one, to be able to go without the expectations of recreating the same trip. I'm ready. I'm itching to go....
how have those of you in relationships dealt with your loved ones?
Any advice from those that understand the pull of the Camino, and especially of those, with partners that have struggled in the other leaving.... is greatly appreciated!
