So my fiance has had the recent idea for the last few months that he wants to hike the WHOLE Appalachian Trail after college (2 yrs from now). He says he wants to do it because he wants something that is character building, life changing, and something that not a lot of people have done, and a personal goal, which I understand and don't discourage, but I don't think he realizes what a big undertaking that is! 3-5 months of living outdoors like that, all the problems that can arise, not to mention all the crazy people out there now a days! He wants me to go with him, but that is just something I know I would not enjoy and isn't something I would have the personal discipline to do. I have tried to explain to him all the difficulties but he doesn't want to listen to me. And we are engaged to be married a few months after he graduates college, so he will be gone for most of the time the wedding planning will be taking place! But he wont budge on it. I really am the type of GF that supports my man on everything, but this I just don't know about. Any ideas of other character building, and life changing, and something that not a lot of people have done things that he could do? Anything will help. He doesn't want to listen to me! Or am I the wrong one?
