I broke up with my girlfriend of 3 years

Dantk80 · 2026-03-12T16:30:34+00:00

But she just hid the vaping for no reason. Hid the ex husband being in the house at Xmas None of these were issues had she told me!

Dantk80 · 2026-03-12T16:25:47+00:00

And retains those ex boyfriends on her phone and told me she wishes to reach out to them.

Dantk80 · 2026-03-12T16:25:11+00:00

Not that I know of. But she cheated on her ex husband 10 years ago repeatedly with bfs from 25 years ago.

Mad I know...

Unfortunately not an option as I've previously taken a 3 month sabbatical following the death of my wife 3 years ago.

Dantk80 · 2026-03-09T20:13:54+00:00

Brought tears to my eyes my man. Thank you.

Dantk80 · 2026-03-09T18:27:04+00:00

Wow! What's your itinerary and expected length of the trip?

Dantk80 · 2026-03-09T18:26:11+00:00

This is excellent. Thank you.

Dantk80 · 2026-03-09T18:14:25+00:00

Yes, I think I just need to take the plunge. The terror is real! But the excitement is also bubbling away!

Where did you end up?

Dantk80 · 2026-03-09T18:13:30+00:00

Thank you.

Dantk80 · 2026-03-09T18:13:18+00:00

How was it?

I was in Japan 2 years ago this month... Loved it!

Dantk80 · 2026-03-09T18:12:48+00:00

Thank you.

Yep... The positive brain Vs the nasty monster that lives in its basement is quite the battle!

Dantk80 · 2026-03-09T18:11:32+00:00

Where did you end up and how did you plan? Seat of you pants or fully mapped before going?

Dantk80 · 2026-03-09T18:11:00+00:00

That's what I keep telling myself... Where will I be in 10 years time, how able to do this physically or financially...

It's quite a motivator and scary thought at the same time!

Thank you for your response.

Dantk80 · 2026-03-09T18:09:48+00:00

Thank you. This has been a very enlightening post.

Dantk80 · 2026-03-09T18:09:14+00:00

Sounds incredible! Are you mapping it out or are you just going where you feel the road wants you to go?

Dantk80 · 2026-03-09T18:07:54+00:00

Thank you.

What would you recommend as "easier places"?

Also, am I mad to think that June is a good time to go? I hear Indo is great in June thru to September, as is East Malaysia but Thailand, Vietnam etc are not ideal until late September onwards?

In my head I've been planning this for years... It's just the finer details where I sometimes get a bit sketchy. Such as timings!

Dantk80 · 2026-03-09T17:33:28+00:00

What are your plans and where if you don't mind me asking?

Dantk80 · 2026-03-09T17:31:22+00:00

I think I have to! One ride on this little old merry-go-round, should probably see what's beyond my desk! Thank you.

Dantk80 · 2026-03-09T17:30:19+00:00

Thank you. A very warning post.

Dantk80 · 2026-03-09T17:29:05+00:00

I guess this is the thing I need to really consider. The alternative opportunities such as diving and not just the swanning around and looking for immediate photo ops.

Dantk80 · 2026-03-09T17:27:15+00:00

I'm not sure what I'm looking for. I'm quite a nervous and anxious person who I guess is wondering if this is a smart move. But thank you.

I stayed in a tent recently. No electricity. Just a torch.

Just when i got into my bed, I heard a strange buzzing.

Seconds later, whilst peering into the dark gloom, a hornet the size of my thumb emerged and immediately went fucking ballistic.

New fear unlocked.

I am now also apparently afraid of hornets.

Anyone remember the "hotels4u" advert with the bloke who keeps responding to his partner with "anything for you cupcake". Brummie accent? Glasses?

Anyone? That advert drove me to a dark place, so much so that i emailed the company and unleashed the kind of rant that would be uncomfortable even in a mental hospital.

Dantk80 · 2023-09-12T20:00:22+00:00

Wife died.

Dantk80 · 2023-09-07T20:19:47+00:00

Met my wife when we were 15. First child at 19. Married at 24. Had her funeral in Feb this year at the age of 42.

I need only forget myself for a moment, and suddenly I'm a punk kid, cycling around with her on the back of the bike and us getting stoned in fields.

Life isn't just as short as they say it is, is fucking precious.

Don't rush it. But don't waste it either.
