"You talk too much about the Camino"

Hi. I'm doing the Camino Aug/Sept this year. Very excited. What was the weather like I'm hoping it won't be mid 30s every day
I walked it last August/September. It was warm weather all the way to Galicia, then it got fairly cold and a couple of rainy days. I brought a fleece pullover for the colder weather and for me that sufficed, especially when I layered my Columbia rain jacket over it. Hot days I wore shorts, a tech shirt and a hat combined with some sunscreen.
All in all, I thought the weather was very nice.

You walked the Camino. You enjoyed it and it became very much a part of you and you obviously want to do it again. It's part of who you are. Not everything you are, but a part. Whether your enthusiasm and passion for it will remain for years to come, who knows? Who cares? If you like to talk about it. Go ahead. If you want to walk it again. Go ahead.
I learned long ago to not be repressive in a relationship and to discard possessiveness and insecurities. If she wants to go do something you aren't interested in, so be it. If she meets someone she's more interested in, so be it. And vice versa. The door swings both ways.
"C'est la vie".....
 
Hi everyone,

So I walked in aug-sep 2015 with my boyfriend, who I love very deeply. We have been together for 3 years.

I tend to be very enthusiastic about our trip and I love to relive memories with him, or share some news from the way and generally I just like to talk about it. It's becoming a very big part of me, because I grew a lot personally on the way and after, and I want to go again this summer.

But today he dropped this on me; "You talk too much about the Camino. You talk about it at least once every day and it annoys me every time. It makes me not wanting to go with you again." - I tried to explain that I have no other that him to share my thoughts with, because no other would understand. He became very angry and didn't want to talk with me.

Now I'm by myself and very upset. Well, if I can't share my thoughts and anecdotes from the way with him, then who?? I've talked with a lot of people about it, but they quickly change the subject, and I don't want them to be annoyed by me, so I don't do it too often either.

Am I crazy? The one man which I shared the whole experience with, which I actually CHOSE to share my experience with, because he asked me, if he could go with me, don't want to talk with me about it?

After we came home from the way, he spoke so rarely about it, every time he actually did surprised me. I didn't talk about it at that time either, but that was because I was afraid to be too much.

I didn't know I was a pain in the a** all this time.

Have some of you experienced this? What did you do?

Much love from Scandinavia.
