[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, I get out of relationships with people who judge my lifestyle or marriage as unhealthy simply because DH travels for work.

Second, I’m a capable adult, and I know how to take care of myself and my children without someone holding my hand. So I do that.

Third, it makes the time that we’re all together even more valuable, so we appreciate it more and make good use of it. Absence makes the heart grow fonder and all that. [/quote]

:shock: you sound really defensive.

Op, my DH was in big law and while he didn’t travel much, he was still gone from home a ton and it definitely took its toll. Yes I’m a “capable adult” and he was “all in” when he was home, but it still wasn’t the relationship we wanted for ourselves or our kids, so he found a new job and it’s MUCH better.[/quote]

Someone comes on and says some ignorant, critical, blanket statement, i respond by saying I deal with it by adulting, and I’m defensive? If it doesn’t work for you, change it. You did the right thing. Not everyone has the same needs. It doesn’t mean we’re unhealthy. How small minded. [/quote]
