[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Naps and exhaustion from traveling? Are you sure he isn’t having an affair? [/quote]

I travel internationally and it's exhausting.

That said, I could neither be gone more than 20% of the time (I travel about 8-9 weeks per year and it's a lot) nor would I tolerate a spouse with a heavy travel schedule unless the kids were in high school and DH and I weren't actually in a real relationship any more.

OP, I'm sorry to say but I think your husband has checked out on purpose and this is his cover. I hope I am wrong but I doubt you can solve this without some serious couples therapy.[/quote]

Are you a woman? It’s probably exhausting because you’re prepping meals or working out logistics for everything before, during, and after your trips. Basically stage managing their lives to make up for your lack of physical presence. Not criticizing you, that’s what I do too for my rare 2-day trips. But having that mental load greatly decreases the enjoyment and relaxation. If I didn’t have that it would almost be like a vacation.[/quote]
