OP, you are not wrong at all. There’s a lot of toxic comments in here telling you in essence that your GF is traveling the world in order to get laid. That might be how some people are, but I think you would not be with her if she were that kind of person.
I think it’s perfectly fine to stay in a committed relationship AND to stay flexible, depending on how the relationship seems to be going. Long distance texts and letters can be very romantic.
I also think that part of your feelings about this are about you wanting to have an adventure of your own. Why not start saving and planning for your own trip? It’s easier than it’s ever been to travel cheaply.
Finally, traveling solo is a very different thing than traveling with others. Traveling in a group tends to separate you from your experience — you are carrying around your own little reality together, rather than just being. It’s also more stressful because you have to worry about another person’s needs 24/7. That’s a lot.
That's great, and I'm glad you're back with her. I read in your other comments you think you're going to be by yourself for now (but with a cat, you're never alone!) and make yourself happy- that's smart. And I believe you'll succeed. ?
So if you know then why are you acting like you are still a child? You really need to grow up and handle your business. Dump the loser, and protect yourself and your assets. You are too old to behaving like some puppy love high schooler who doesn't know any better.
Oh on I was not seeing it that way thanks

Maybe he has watched too many lesbian porns. Sounds like some fetish getting transferred on his daughter? Red flag ? to me.

You probably have good times because it's YOU who is caving in to HER and what she wants.
