I am a trail guide. It does not pay money. It's a volunteer thing. I don't like it much. You would think that if someone enjoys hiking that they would enjoy leading hikes, but it's really like trying to equate someone who enjoys solitude and nature with someone who loves babysitting. The better choice is actually writing. I enjoy writing about my adventures and am working on a book about it which I will sell from my web site about hiking.
Relationships morph over time, I guess. Our relationship did not start like this. I feel like we've both been waiting for several years now for something to change. I don't want to leave, I don't want to make ultimatums and he does not want advice or anything like that. So I wait and try to be supportive of any ideas he has. He's only got a year and a half before he can retire if he wants. Maybe something will happen then. It's just awful to watch the stock market drop and his savings disappear and see him get more and more disappointed. So he probably won't retire in a year and a half.
