Margarita Aurelija6 days agoI (44F) have been married to my husband (48M) for about 20 years. This week, he decided that we are going to hike to Everest Base Camp a few times, and on the third trip, we’ll attempt the full Everest trek — and he wants to do this by next year. While we live in a rural northern area and enjoy hiking together, this plan is simply too much for me. I struggle with obesity due to hormone issues, but in the past six months, I’ve started getting my weight and fitness under control. I’ve been working hard in the gym, and I’m seeing progress. My husband has always been more active and healthier than I have, but even though I’m making strides, I know I won’t physically be ready in time for such an intense challenge. What frustrates me is that I have absolutely no desire to hike Everest. While my husband has brought it up a few times over the years, I’ve always encouraged him to pursue it if he’s interested. I’ve told him that I’d happily travel with him to Nepal, but I don’t want to do the hike. Despite me expressing this repeatedly, he seems fixated on the idea of us doing it together, and I’m unsure how to make him understand that I have no intention of going on this expedition.1471
