Actually I have to put in my 2 cents worth on this one. My spouse and I get along better if he's gone for awhile. Makes the time he's home alot better, if ya know what I mean ops: I like to have my freedom to come and go as I please while he's away and not in my hair all the time. Just bugs me when he's home seems I feel quilty for doing something and not spending time with him. It just works better for us for him to be gone 3 weeks at a time. Plus I don't have to cook for him every night which is a big plus in my book :lol:
