That Old Empty Feeling!

[Dodo]

So the summer is beginning and friends and relatives are planning holidays except of course my partner and I as he is phobic about pretty much anything and everything that require leaving home outside of a 50 mile radius.  I have taken holidays without him and am planning a big trip this fall without him of course but it always makes me a little sad that I can't share these things with him. 
When he was trying to get back together with me after our short break up he said to me that he didn't wanted to live the rest of his life without doing anything so he said he would try a few little trips. But that was in the beginning so now if I bring up anything that requires leaving his comfort zone, he says  OMG here we go again you haven't changed! Lol I can't win I try not to trigger him and have only mentioned one trip as he is the one who wanted to do it in the first place.  I have not mentioned it again and will not as it is not worth the aggravation.  I still get upset about it but not like I use to, I knew what I was getting into .....
Wish I didn't feel this way

Sorry.

My H is a hermit. I completely gave up on sharing a life with him. It's futile.

It's been difficult to get my husband to go on any sort of vacation for years. I'm at the point now where I'm not even sure if I'd want to go on a vacation with him. The thing that bothers me the most about it is hearing others talking about their fun vacation plans and people asking me what our plans are. It feels like everyone else is going somewhere or doing something special.

Here too.
We used to go on family trips but mostly I have bad memories.
Uocpdh does not travel well.
I haven't even taken a staycation cuz I don't want to be home with him doing chores.
Last time I was on a plane was 20 years ago!

Well I guess it's not as unusual as I thought, I feel like Cascade ... it like so what are you doing this weekend or what did you do on the weekend ... oh not much I say!   My life use to be so full before my husband died and I guess I alway thought that I'd find that again but since being with my PD partner it has been challenging, it was my decision (and his) to get back together, not that I can't do what I want as we have come to that agreement, he agreed that I would travel and go away if I wanted and he wouldn't fuss about as he doesn't want to come along so how can he possibly stop me. 
We will see
