Invisible Spouse Syndrome

 Yes, I have a husband and I’ve had him a long time, not that you would have figured that out from earlier blog series. I don’t remember ever mentioning him but that’s because he was never with me.  He’s never had the travel bug like I do. Plus, he had a really hard job with little time off. Understandably, he wanted to spend his few free days doing his favorite things. But he has always encouraged me to do my favorite things. He has gamely held down the fort while I went gallivanting, initially by myself and later, with my travel buddy, Wendy.

Now the dynamic has changed; every day is a day off! We’ve got lots of time to take new adventures. The Hubs is still not a huge fan of travel (yet), but he’s willing to give it a try and in a big way with this upcoming trip.

One of the many things I admire about him is that he is not on social media. No Facebook, no Twitter, no Insta, no Snap. And he wants to keep it that way. This means he’ll be lurking in the background on this blog. You’ll probably hear a bit about him, but you won’t see him. It’ll be like Vera, Norm’s wife on Cheers, and Maris, Nile’s wife on Frasier. You know, ISS – Invisible Spouse Syndrome.
