    The die was cast about 4 months into the trip.

    My biggest regret in life is hanging on for another 18+ months to try and work it out.

      Sorry but I don’t understand. You were married with a job and everything. Then decided to go on an 8 months journey to travel, while your wife (and somehow your job) waited…?

        Close, but she came with me on the trip. My job waited for my return and lasted about a year-ish after we got back.

          Sorry it didn’t turn out better with her, but it sounds like a huge trip. Not doing something like that is a small regret I have. It’s great that you felt confident and free enough to do it. Though, 5 years in Asia, that doesn’t sound that great tbh😀
