So my ex and I were together for ten years. We were supposed to plan to travel to Europe again in 2020 after travelling Europe together in 2019. Of course the trip never happened due to covid.
We’ve since broken up as he wasn’t treating me nicely (and didn’t treat me nicely on the trip in 2019).
I’m now going to Europe alone as I don’t want to miss out. We never planned the 2020 trip together so it’s not like I’m going on “our” trip without him. But it feels wrong to be going alone.
I’m excited to go alone as I’ve recently discovered travelling alone is something I enjoy. But I think I’m nervous to go and then become anxious while I’m there if things remind me of him or I think “ex partner would totally love this”. Which is something I still do sometimes.
I’m not nervous about travelling alone but I’m nervous about these feelings coming up while being alone on the other side of the world.
Any advice on how to avoid or overcome these feelings?
One decision I’ve made to avoid this is to not travel back to places I went with him where I have bad memories attached to that place.
