Hello My Story

My Story
Going through my second divorce at the moment we have been married for 18 years my wife told me she wanted a divorce 2 months ago because she no longer loved me and nothing I said would change her mind . ( I did try )

I never knew you could hate and love someone at the same time and yes I was gutted and yes I thought my life was over and now the solicitors have took over it’s getting very nasty.

I do suspect she has been seeing someone else, why can’t people just be honest and say look it’s over because I’m seeing someone else….it’s the lie’s that hurt the most.

I’m not sure if I could start all over again ie rent / buy a small flat keep on working just to pay the bills and have nothing left at the end of the month I’m 50 now so life’s to short for self pity.

It’s not all doom and gloom and I have thought this through and 99% of you will think I’m mad or even reckless my family have all said the same.

I’m just going to pack a case and my laptop and travel I should have enough cash to keep me going for around 3 / 5 years if I don’t go mad with the budget I may even pick up the odd bit of work . Hoping to do America , Mexico then Canada by car.

No idea where I will go after the above but that’s the fun part not knowing and yes I will be broke when I get back to the UK but I just don’t care I will just get a job and rent a small flat.


Regards

Hi Dylan

I don't think you're mad. It's the kind of adventure most of us dream of, but something just stops most of us from doing it.

If I may offer a caveat though. May be just worth checking that you're not doing it to run away from something, or abandoning someone that needs you. Such things have a habit of staying with us, even when you're thousands of miles away.

Good luck!

Hi Emma
Thanx very good point re: running away and that's what my family said.

I've always loved to travel and I don't see it as running away it's more like a fresh start one big adventure never knowing where you are going.


Where ever I go there is always the internet.I've gave it a lot of thought and if I don't do it now I never will.

But thank you very good of you to point you made..... I may start a blog of my travels lol

Absolutely go for it. Life is too short to think about looking back. Who knows what is around the next corner - a flock of sheep or a whole new adventure and friends. Good on you Dylan. You can and you will do it and you will love it. I look forward to reading your blog. please post photos as I am sure you will visit places i can only have dreamed of.

Thanx sunshine

Hi Dylan
I agree with the others, go for it.
I'm 53 same position as you. I'm having a 3 month career break and going to India next month, I and others think I'm mad but if it feels right go for it.
I'm hoping to do a travel blog hope you are too.
When you going?
