[quote=Anonymous]Op here. Thanks for everybody for telling me I'm not crazy. I will address some questions..

-to those who picked up on relationship issues, you are correct. Dating was fine, hed call me every single night. Seemed like the perfect guy. Then we hit a roadbump when he started this new position. He had a new job, I had a new job, he traveled all the time, we were new to the area, newly engaged and living together for the first time...A lot to swallow all at once. We both work oddball hours (he rotates shifts when he is home) and the travelling on top of it didnt help. Its still hard to make time for a date night ...gradually things got in a rut.

Anyway so we've had ups and downs just like anybody else. We had a major down at the end of last year so we took a surprise vacation in january. Everything was perfect after that we both had such a good time. The trip after the vacay he contacted more than usual but it's slowly died back down since.

-the trips are legit. I have wondered myself if he's one of those people you hear about on the news with 5 wives that have no idea about each other but everything checks out. I've seen his itinerary or ticket stub laying around too many times.

-the travelling comes to an end soon luckily. We'll be moving on to a new assignment where no travelling is involved and we'll have more time to coordinate schedules. Basically we'll be normal again. I have faith this will improve the relationship,  which is why I haven't abandonded ship yet. Hopefully not too much damage has been done such that things are beyond repair.

-other than not really having much time for each other, he's pretty decent when he's home. Makes me cupcakes and helps out around the house.

- I reached out to another spouse to see how often she heard from her husband on the same assignment. She reported something similar, especially around the end of the assignment which is where we are now. So maybe all the sightseeing was just something that happened at the beginning. There's been too many trips to really keep track of it all.[/quote]
