writes:I live with my partner of 10 years, we are both in our 50's, we both took early retirement and I now find we have very little in common although I do love him. I find myself wanting to go on holiday abroad with a solo group - this is because I want some fun not because I am looking to meet another man. My partner (J) has never been abroad and says he never wants to, I love flying. In the past I have been with my friend but she sadly died last year, but we had such fun on holidays. J hates the sun and heat and I love it. J thinks having fun is pottering around in his garden shed all day long. We never go out as a couple at night. His idea of a holiday is to rent a cottage in the country in the UK but as we already live in a very rural area, I dont feel as if I'm on holiday. Am I being selfish? I haven't discussed this with J yet as I'm afraid of what his reaction will be. I have tried telling him I want a social life which I don't have as I live in his village where the natives are not all that friendly. I hate the idea of travelling alone and came up with this idea of joining other solo (not necessarily single) people on a fun holiday abroad.

you should tell him how you feel if he really loves you he will to do some of the thing that you want to do every relationship is a compromise. i would tell him my intentions and if he disagrees then you shold go alone and really thing about your relationship when you get back because it doe not see to be getting any better.
