Having serious thoughts of just taking out my savings grabbing my backpack and getting on my motorycycle and going.

Im so bored. I should be happy as Ive a lovely wife (got married last year) we should have the world at our feet. We have no debt a nice house (paid off) and lots of disaposible income.

I should be happy as I have no major worries. But i not. I cant put my finger on why as me and the mrs have a good relationship and all but I just wanna get up and go. But I know I would lose everything my job, my wife.

Sorry guys just want to rant as sitting here seriously considering it. Going and seeing what the world has to offer.
 
Your relationship isn't as good as you think if you want to drop everything and leave....
Have you spoken to your wife about it?
 
When I get that kind of feeling I it's time for a holiday. As you have disposable in income it's time to plan a nice long getaway with the wife. Once the batteries are recharged and you've been away from the usual routine things will feel much better.
 
Maybe your life is too perfect? As Shine says, go do something. I'd be going away as many weekends as I could if I had the money. Weekends away all over Europe. There's soo much to see and do.
 
Don't get up and leave! Start with taking a few days away here and there. Even just hop on a bus or a train with no plans and go with the flow. I get that itch all the time, it's perfectly natural.
 
I've got that feeling at the moment, just finished uni, no job lined up, no gf and I really do just fancy doing one and trying somewhere new.

I'd say assuming that there's issues with his relationship is quite the leap from wanting to up and go. The relationship could be solid for all we know, but there are always times when one yearns for certain freedoms (not just from a relationship but from conventional living) or experiences.
 
Yep currently looking at touring SE asia and a few other places later next year with a few friends, none of us are tied down yet so we think its the best time to do it. I would think a bit more on your relationship tbh.

Think about all the waifs and strays around the World that would literally kill to have a debt free home and a wife :)
 
Think about all the boring people who never live the dream... those who sit at home thinking "what if?" instead :eek:.

Indeed but it seems a bit rash to lose what in most peoples eyes is a big deal.

They're may be problems with his wife and in that case I would say go for it but if not he may not only be ruining his own life but his wife's as well and that seems harsh to me.
 
Not having any problems with my Mrs we get on like a house on fire and she is my best friend. I am just bored of normal life and want excitment. Yes I live in a nice house and have a lovely wife but is that all life is meant to be. Working during the week for a few holidays a year and nice things? God im confused.
