I agree with Markharf - don’t be black and white, all or nothing. If we take any thing from Covid it’s learning to be flexible.
I went travelling in my early 20s, I had a girlfriend I really loved and to be honest I thought we’d get married etc....
But..... I had to do the travelling thing. I asked her to go with me but it’s just not her thing so she said no. She also decided that we should have a clean break, I think she wanted me to feel free - I had thought at one stage that I might emigrate to Australia.
Anyway when I came home I still wanted to travel and she still didn’t - even though we loved each other we didn’t rekindle our relationship. In the end we both made the right choice.
I would just go but communicate to her that she can get involved at any time, then, enjoy the trip and just see what happens.
PS I can see you’ve had a hard time lately but, personally, I don’t think it’s good to travel in order to escape. I believe it’s better to leave in a happy state of mind. Difficult, no doubt but just my thoughts.
