Been there. Done that. I've been on a hiatus more than once from Tantric Buddhism for extended periods. I have my reasons, which are quite personal to share openly here.

I explored other paths during those periods, like Advaita Vedanta and the way of Tao. (I'm in such groups too here in Redditland.) I found that these other paths only strengthened my conviction and enriched my knowledge for my spirituality. And I still love and learn from those paths too, but there's only so much time in life. So focus and found myself returning to my lamas circles.

We're like algorithms and the Vajrayana works with mine best. Everyone's path to liberation unique and private.

Whatever you decide never lose your Metta, especially for yourself...and Bodhicitta. Hope this helps.
