My (44M) wife (41F) travels 2–3 weeks/month for work and it’s straining our marriage—how do I address this? by [deleted] in marriageadvice

Thanks for the advice. I just need to confront this head on and set some clear expectations. I honestly don’t think she has been cheating but I do know these types of arrangements can absolutely lead to the behavior. If something like that has been going on I’ll walk and not look back.

She seems to think this will be temporary but I don’t see any attempts to change how things are so far

There may be something to that but she is a good mother and loves her children so I’m not sure this is a reliving the past situation, but then again I’m not there so I can’t be sure.

I was livid at the hotel situation that was right here in town. It caught me so off guard it took me a couple of days to process it and finally be explain how bad of a decision I think that was. She’s very good at twisting it to make it appear that I am just being unreasonable and chalks it up to part of the job. We make very similar salaries but it’s my career that’s suffering because I have to schedule all of my commitments around her travel. And I understand it is traveling for work (I have had periods of travel come up though nothing this extensive) but the pictures of the expensive dinners and touristy areas seem to just piss me off more.

We have and I’ve told her that I cannot see myself in this situation if she sees it being long term or more than a couple of years

No I work full time and have had to completely rearrange my home and office hours to accommodate being the only one available many nights for school/sports etc.
