My husband and I spend only Friday and Saturday together every week as long as he doesn't have to work. he is on call 24/7 and works through bad weather. I have to say though that I do not have any worries with him being away. we have a strong relationship and I am lucky to have him. honestly I feel so bad for all of you who have problems within your home/relationship. it is hard not having him home much but we make it work.
