Anybody else ever thought about this? How some couples might do better being apart than together?

Out of our 16 years of marraige I have worked out of state for about 5. It has advantages and disadvantages. I can truly say that the wife is one of the strongest women I know and can take care of herself, she even dealt with our youngest going into the hospital twice while I was gone. She actually makes fun of other husbands wives that won't let them work out of town because they can't hack it. When I would come home on weekends it was great though in feeling close again, sex, etc. But a draw back is you mess a lot of things with your kids. It takes a strong marraige to do it and a lot of trust between partners.
I work out of town so we're apart way too much. I can tell you I'd rather be home for sure. I now for some couples our situation might work better, particularly if it was a second marriage where kids form only one side were a part of the picture. Who knows. Still, I don't think most of are married so that we can be apart.

I work nights, she works days. When we were really busy, we'd only talk on the phone during the week. We see each other sleeping, but that was about it. The weekends were a reuniting event. With things a little slower, I get home earlier so we see each other more. It a lot nicer. Going to days soon, so that'll be better.

We wish you guys were home together more often too!!!
Being apart sucks. Hubby works a lot , I see him sleep. But for the most part we get maybe 3 whole days together a month. He loves his jobs too much to cut down or change so I guess this is how it is. I sure does get lonely.
We're together 24/7. At this point it would require expensive and painful skin separation surgery just to be able to go to the bathroom by myself. 
See, that's the thing - I wouldn't want the extreme of too much separation either. Only being able to see someone you love a couple of times a week sucks.
And Evildoers, I think your profile pic might be slightly inaccurate.
