This is great that your sharing this information! First I can see it is from your heart! Second anyone who does not admit that we all have situations is probably not telling the truth. With my guide business for my longer adventures every client got a copy of the information of confind spaces and ways to deal with it. What you two did was a bit different as for the most part of your adventure it was just the two of you. We all need some free time and space, for us to think about life's situations. If what is going on is away from you, it is hard yo deal with it. We all have our ways of dealing with rough days and situations. In a mild situation I listen to what I call my happy music. If it is still their after the happr misic I sleep on it, followed with screaming into my pillow. Everyone is different and we all have our way of dealing with things. For myself I try and catch it sooner so it does not build up.
It has been a while and I am sure that you have worked it out to the best you can. May your skies be clear and the situations behind you! The horses are coming to visit.
