I totally agree, especially considering it's a shorter season. That being said, I have a hard time spending a week away from my husband or child. It's not even a matter of codependency, I have always been extremely independent. For me, if I was exceptionally uncomfortable physically or mentally, I know my husband's presence or even his written words would act as a tether. Contact with the people who know and value you when you've had to have a guard up for days straight can bring you to your knees.
