<human>: Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?

I am 33yr old dude, my girlfriend is 25. She's awesome. In a few months she is going backpacking with a friend (female) around Europe and Asia.

I travelled a fair bit when i was younger and know that meeting new people and having fun with them are important & great part of travelling. I would NEVER want to limit my girlfriend from having experiences or meeting anyone.

We have talked about it a fair but, and she says she "has no intention" of cheating, and we are happier than ever..... but somewhere in my fragile male self there is this fear that she will.. whatever.."stray" or whatever you want to say. I mean, she's young, backpacking through Europe.... right? 

I have thought about it a lot, and have decided to try to lead with my heart and try my best not to be selfish and pollute the whole relationship with my own insecurities, but I don't want to be some pining jerk while she's adventuring....

I guess my question is mostly to people who have had similar experiences. Did your SO cheat while they traveled? Was it major/minor? Did the relationship survive them going/coming back?

thanks a lot for your time,
<bot>: Girlfriend (25, 8 yrs younger than me) is going backpacking for 5 months. Will relationship survive?
