Hey all,
My girlfriend and I are going travelling separately for 8 months next year at opposite ends of the world.
However i was talking to her about it this morning and she is already saying what if travelling changes how we feel about each other. I know it wont change me, but I'm already thinking that she will want to sleep with people while travelling now.
Im going to ask her when i next see her if she wants to be single for travelling, and if she does then ill end it there.
Obviously if it doesn't work out it doesn't work, and I'm young enough that its fine, but what can I do to ensure that I've done my best to make it work. As i'd prefer us to last.

Why aren't you travelling together?
8 months without seeing each other while travelling is something that would make most relationship fail. I'd suggest to cut it now, it'd be hard to make it work
>I know it wont change me
You say this with such confidence, but you never know what's going to happen.

Thinking that its impossible for yourself to change over the course of a year just goes to show how little insight you have into your life and your current situation.
She's anticipating her life changing whereas you are actively digging your feet into the sand to try to freeze your feelings in time while your life continues and its just unrealistic.
People change. People get older. People meet new people and develop new feelings and maybe she wants to be open to the possibility. Break up with her. Do it for both of your sakes because it sounds like whether or not she meets someone on the road your relationship is kind of winding its way down as you both go your separate ways.
If you think that you can be gone for nearly a year exploring the world and then just get back together and go back to the way things were you're a fool. Let her go, man. This thing sounds done.

>if she does then ill end it there
do you really mean that or will you continue to monitor her. Young, traveling separately and in a relationship won't work for either of you
quit now and find new ways and perspectives while travelling.

How naive.
