This trip started as visiting 2 old, sickly relatives, 1 in Vermont, 1 in Minnesota – 2-3 weeks one place, drive to other & stay 2-3 weeks, then home to FLA. (Note: BF can work remote, via computer, so he continues usual Mon-Friday job – it's not 100% fun & games.)
I was supportive in planning this. I knew I'd miss him, but duty to family is important and he should visit these elders while his work assignment lets him do so.
But after 3 weeks in VT, he tells me he's not going to MN. But he's not cutting his trip short. In fact, he's adding 2 weeks (for 8 weeks total) so as to go hiking, boating, attend a festival, etc. (No change in the relative -- nothing to do with that.)
I'm feeling like this "family duty" trip has turned into a pleasure trip, and a BF who takes an 8 week pleasure trip without GF doesn't care much about the GF. We're over 35 & have been dating exclusively for 5 years. Anyone else's thoughts? Don't suggest that I join him in VT, I can't leave town.
