[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on how sucky his location is and how hard he tried to get out of the trip.

He begged and pleaded but now he’s in the desert working 20 hours a day and getting shot at? Everything is perfect at home, honey, we miss you.

He volunteered for a semi-vacation and spends most of the day by the pool? Tell it like it is.[/quote]

I'm just gonna say it. I would never be the kind of wife you are purporting to be here.
Let him enjoy the downtime on his trip...the joy of a sunset overlooking the beach in another part of the world on someone else's dime! It's a nice perk on a WORK TRIP. He's not "on vacation"...he's there for work. So what if it isn't a strenuous 9-5 like it is when he's home. He'll be home soon enough and back to the grind. If you NEED to tell him when he gets back, fine. But he can't do anything about it while he's there and you're just going to spoil the free enjoyable time he does have there by making him feel guilty and worry.

Even if he were spending his days by the pool on the trip that work sent him on...WHY NOT LET HIM ENJOY IT?!? You are his spouse and should be encouraging him and lifting him up and telling him "Babe...you work hard. Enjoy every second!" (And guess what...if you do that, he will come home with appreciation for you and ready to help out when you need it!)[/quote]

I guess you’re just a better wife than I am. You win.[/quote]
