Fed Up

Write folks i need your help,
I've been in a relationship for the past 6 years with my missus, I'm in my mid twenty's while she's in her very early thirty's. We rent a house together both have jobs have no kids but do have a dog.. Here's the problem i keep getting a feeling where going in seperate ways. Alot of my friends are off traveling and when im logging onto facebook etc all im seeing is pictures of them having the time of there lives while im stuck here in a dead end job(misses has a deadly job more money etc.).. I applied for a visa last year when i was in a foul mood but am yet to use it. My misses has no interest in going traveling where as i am...Im also very attached to my dog i also have a small loan 15000. Any advice welcome...

You can always have both. Try to keep the trips short but put in a good few every so often. Try find something you enjoy and have a job change as an option. You don't necessarily need to move away to change jobs. Try making up a list of all the different ways you can expand your life and do the things that you want to do with what you have right now and if its not possible and you see it as something you really need to do try talking to your partner about it and convincing her to go with you or take time off work to visit the world.

I've tried lad. The interest just isnt there. my plan was to leave my job but due to the economic problem its not easy geting another job and i left school early so have nothing behind me.. I just feel i need to get away from it all. Where going on hols soon and after that who knows. I dont no weather where the age gap is catching up.. Im really tempted to say nothing a just go to the airport and leave...

That would be a coward's way out.
Sit down, talk with her and explain how you feel but do not leave her without saying anything,

I don't know whether to call that a typo or brilliance

Anyone can sit your dog for 2 weeks (or longer). It's self defeating to think of your best friend as a giant anchor.

I say do it. I was stuck here 2 months ago with no money and no job while my cousin was passing through driving down the coast - I think he got as far as Nicaragua (near Panama) before heading back. Some of that lad's photos are spectacular and other worldly. All he had was a car, about 2 grand and whatever he could fit in the boot as far as clothes and supplies went.

In contrast you seem in a much better position to head out and do some 'splorin. The only thing holding you back it seems is the defeatist attitude that something is stopping you. Its not the dog, and the missus can always find 2 weeks off and so can you. Make it happen, Cap'n. 2 weeks is better than none and a few thousand euros worth of holiday may seem like an unholy expense but thats the price of high spirits.
