Being married 36 years, the woman I married back then is a very different person now, and the same is true for me. Give each other space for your passions. We both have passions, and generally not the same passions. Realize too that passions often change over time.
Motorcycles and motorcycle travel are mine, one passion that has been consistent for me in one form or another for my whole adult life. In the same way, I have absolutely no interest to run multiple marathons and other even more insane athletic challenges. The bond is that we both possess and follow passions, and we give each other space and respect to follow them.
From my perspective, the space for both of you to follow your dreams and interests is important.

I think that it's kind of a strange question. Everyone travels these days. The world is a constant moving place and people should always be available and should not restrict each other. We are a group of friends who travel a lot and since most of my friends are men I've seen them hook up with a lot of different girls. The only long term thing that stuck were surprisingly Slovenian women (like three of them are now dating those girls). We were kinda making fun of them but started looking into it online and found this really funny article that was actually very on point ( https://idateadvice.com/heres-why-you-should-start-dating-slovenian-women) like my travel companions really said that everything is freaking true. we were kinda stuned but hey if it works for them it works

Hiii.... I am mid 40s now, with kid (7) and spouse I am getting daring and he is growing to be less... while thinking about a trip. I hope this community will show me a way to deal with this situation.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
