All of this to say, everyone is right. Time away will give me space and clarity to clear my head. Just seeing how it feels to be away, not having to think about things or worry about things or wonder what he is doing. Just like I did over the summer, this will be good. I have not told him yet I want to go alone, I am not going to make a big deal out of it I am just going to tell him that I need a break from everything. That way he won’t press in or think too much of it.
