When my husband Brad and I got married, right afterwards he went and lived on the road for a year because he's

a news reporter and he was covering the election. We had a plan that when he was

done covering the election,

we were going to go on a big trip together to sort of reunite,

just get some alone time together, reconnect,

When we got on the very long flight I was like so what are we actually

doing and he was like we're going to go to this remote location and hike with like a group of

people forever and then that location and hike on a glacier with a group of people forever

And I was like oh my gosh so we're going on like group hikes with strangers. I thought we were going to be chilling in like a warm city and I basically had a huge

Sort of blame me

panic attack on our flight and just freaked out and I was like I feel like I'm trapped I hate this I hate you I never wanted to go on this trip why you're doing this to me now I'm stuck going on hikes with strangers and I'd rather die and this is not relaxing or about connecting at all.

I was really harsh. I mean it got to the point where I was suggesting ending our marriage.
