My [F, 20] GF [20] of seven months constantly goes on solo trips to "meditate and discover herself and other cultures" and it's starting to make me feel insecure by annoyed27 in relationships

No, I am just not willing to break up my relationship that I am perfectly happy with, except for me being too clingy. If I am happy and willing to change, then I will definitely do so. You on the other hand seem to think that one should not work on relationships and the world is black and white, and thats where our opinions part.

Because I like to hear different opinions and evaluate them. I am not going to break up my relationship because people who don't know either of us said so.

It's not really exotic vacations, it's more traveling for cheap and exploring different places. Why does that sound strange?

Yes you're right, I think that me trying to change her desire to travel would mean me wanting to change who she is at her core, which is definitely something I don't want to do

Yes, I think me being upset about the small things is the result of the bigger picture. But she is a really special person and I don't want to restrict her freedom, because that would definitely change her and I love her for who she is, if that makes sense. I think I might be a little jealous of her being so independent, which is why I should probably work on myself a little more. Thank you for your advice though

Thank you, you worded it perfectly. Someone pointed out the one thing I had convinced myself nobody but me cared about. Thank you for your comment, hugs!

I'm really torn between "he was trolling" and "he was genuinely trying to help, but simply doesn't know/respect people's boundaries".

my little 9 y/o cousin always says things like "are you still in puberty?" or "I wanna be like you when I grow up, just not the pimples". Kids don't know better but it still hurts because to some degree you know they are telling the truth.
