[quote=Anonymous]Help understand this marital phenomenon DH and I experience sometimes.

We have been married 18 years, teens in HS. Good times, hard times, our marriage is pretty strong overall.

When one of us goes out of town for more than a night or two we don't talk a lot. Never have. When we do it tends to be texts. Fairly frequent back and forths ranging from logistics to jokes to thinking of you stuff. We genuinely love and seem to miss each other. Kids are old enough that we don't facilitate that - they talk to us on their own when one of us is away. We are both at busy points in our careers so when one is away it's not awful but it's not easy.

Then when the out of town spouse returns we argue.

We go from sending nice messages back and forth and (I think) awaiting the reunion to arguing immediately. This time, literally on the way out of the airport. About stupid stuff (tone, parking, etc...).

I know stress is a part of it but it's so silly yet predictable and it's not fun.

Does this happen to anyone else?[/quote]
