headfirst Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 I'm going to Thailand with a couple of friends for 2 weeks. I asked my bf if he wanted to come but he said he "can't afford it". I'm worried about leaving him, this will be the longest we've spent apart. We struggle after 1-2 night away from each other. Should i feel guilty for leaving? I'll be having a good time but i feel bad for him sitting at home. Someone said it will "It will either make you or break you" this gets me worried.
Stung Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Two weeks is not really a long time, I wouldn't consider that 'make or break' time by any means unless the relationship is super new or you guys are super young. You're certainly allowed to have your own life and pursue interests with your friends for a couple of weeks, and a trip to Thailand doesn't just come along every other day. Enjoy yourself, enrich yourself. I'm sure you'll miss him, but just try to have fun with your girlfriends and pick up some culture. You can email and Skype with him regularly. Let him know that you miss him. Next time, try planning a trip with him, one that he can afford. Maybe take a small weekend trip sometime soon, to the mountains or the coast, doing something he likes to do. If you're flush, you could offer to treat him to a trip sometime.
