My partner suggested we book a simple weekend away after noticing how often I talk about wanting more adventure. My first thought was, I actually want to go, and that surprised me. I’m a widower and still carry a lot of my marriage with me, so part of me feels guilty enjoying something new, as if happiness is somehow disloyal. It isn’t, I know. The trip would just mean arranging leave around nursing shifts, but it also makes this relationship feel a bit more serious. I told him I want to go, and that I’m nervous too. That’s about as much explaining as I can manage.
