When long-time travel partners avoid talking about how age is changing what they want

My best friend and I have been backpacking together since college and we're both in our forties now, and I'm starting to feel like we keep choosing harder and more extreme trips to prove something to ourselves about not getting old. Last time I was miserable for half of it but couldn't say anything because this is supposed to be our thing, and I think they might be feeling something similar but we're both too proud to admit our bodies and priorities are changing.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are clinging to an identity built around shared adventures while their actual needs and capacities quietly evolve.
