[quote=Anonymous]This happened to me years ago with my first marriage.  My husband had to travel to Australia 75% of the year for 2 years.  We had been together for 5 years before getting married, then we had a child 2 years into our marriage.  Our child was 2 when he moved and I was working part time.  It was tough, I won't lie.  I had to do everything, solve every problem (our basement flooded for example) on my own.  I loved my husband and we always had a great relationship and partnership, but I became more and more independent and took a full time job the second year he was gone.  I began to like my independence more and more.  I found a fantastic babysitter and  started reconnecting with my old friends and took art classes.  As I became more independent, I started to love it and it began detaching emotionally from my husband.  I don't know why, I just didn't enjoy our Facetime conversations as much.  It really drove a wedge.  When he returned we tried to make it work, I tried to love him again like I had before, but I no longer wanted to discuss things and compromise as a married couple.  I loved making my own decisions, I wanted out.  So we divorced and I was a very happy single mom for 5 years.  Then I met my current husband and we have a fantastic relationship (like my previous marriage).  I don't know what would happen if he were to travel for 2 years, but that is something neither of us wants to do.  [/quote]
