i hope he could re consider you going on a small vaca. i had to do that back in march and i just up and left in the middle of the day didn't bring anything with me, drove 6 hours down south and ended up staying a week. yes my partner was a little upset since we have only been apart for 2 days in four years but he also knows my crazy moods i get in and too much was going on and i couldn't deal.
and you know what that ws the best week i had in over 10 years!! i did things i never have done before and experienced being my own person again. it was wonderful!!!!!
nothing will ever duplicate that time.
it was a little off at firts because i'm so used to checking in and not being tottaly free. but after a few days it was amazing!
