[quote=Anonymous]My DH used to travel a lot for work.  It started out maybe one trip a month, then two, then for a couple years he was effectively traveling 3 weeks or more a month, and they were often asia and other places that it meant it cut sharply into our weekend sometimes too (say, if he got home at 8pm on friday night, but saturday was a write off because of jet lag; or he had to leave sunday at noon to be there for a monday am meeting).  He and i have always been very close, best friends types, and honestly, the travel was just too much for us once kids were born.  We were like ships passing in the night, we felt emotionally and sexually disconnected, etc.  We talked about it, both agreed it was a travel problem, not a marriage problem.  We both agreed it was not sustainable.  After 2+ years of the super intense travel schedule, he quit and went to a job with significantly less travel.  The travel was pretty much the entire reason he left his old job.  We are both very, very happy with this decision.  [/quote]
