whats the longest your dh has been away on businessfor

His (my bf's) mum found out when the IRS (the US version of the Inland Revenue) sent a letter to their house (in the US, if you're married, you're both responsible for the tax bill) auditing them b/c his dad was claiming dependents in two different states.

What a way to find out, eh?

Anyhow, he had 'married' the other wife in the other state, even though of course the marriage wasn't valid.

He was imprisoned for bigamy.

He (my boyfriend Mike's dad) had two kids with his legal wife and three with this other lady!

He'd been keeping up a front for NINE years!

Bizarre tale...
Nowt as queer as folk eh?

not sure if it counts as business trip but my dh is away for 6 months - i'm a forces widow - i'm hating every minute of it too

I think about two months is the longest but for about 3 years DH (or DP as he was then) spent more than 6 months of the year abroad.

Since DS was born though, new career and although he works longer hours and more days he comes home every night.

hurrah, justice!

He was home for Christmas, but what if he's really clever and has a family in a country where they don't celebrate Christmas?

When Mike told me I thought about how you always read about people like that in newspapers and magazines, but I'd never actually met someone that happened to.

It really messed poor Mike up.

Blimey not surprised. I always joke that dp is going to see his other wife up north. who is abetter cook than me. Its his business partner and is a fat geezer, but you jnever know ....temptation

Longest my dh has been away was about a fortnight; may have actually only been 10 days I'm not sure.
He's away atm, and I got mixed up with the days and thought he was back today ... well actually I thought today was Thursday; I was very disappointed last night when I realised my mistake.

three weeks - it was hell. now we (ds and i) are going to travel with him to san diego for 4 weeks every quarter. luckily i work for the same company so it works out well

few months

14 weeks at police training at Bruche just after I'd had ds 2
12 months at Police staff training college at Bramshill (coming home at weekends)
currently away during the week until next July when he retires [smle]

one week - that was tooooooo long and he missed ds' first steps - although he was on the phone at the time which was a nice coincidence. I hate it when he goes away.

Well... ahem... I was away for 9 months. though he came to visit me on Christmas and Easter

I did also left for a 3 months course after that but kept coming home at the weekends.

That all was pre baby, of course...

The longest he has been away is probably 3 weeks but he used to go away at least every three weeks.

Three months when he was working in the Far East, then several spells of 6mths when he came home once a month. Also he worked offshore for 13yrs. So, really, we've only be married for half the time we claim on paper!

About 4.5 -5 months, can't remember the exact amount. And has done a lot of 3-4 weeks away. Away for at least a half of the year, but you expect this in the forces....still a PITA though. We all hate it.

6 months pre dd

4 weeks post dd

DH is Army tho....

3 months in Korea just before dd was 2. Done a few month-long trips since then. He is away every week for at least one night, sometimes more. Sometimes overseas, but mostly down south. I hate it, but nothing I can do( but I can get on here without complaints, haha)

10 days is probably the longest continuous spell but we lived in different countries for a month when ds was 3 and I was 6 months pg and he came back to UK at weekends. atm he is away 2/3 nights every couple of weeks - he went early Sunday and is due back late tonight for example - part of the reason for moving back to UK.

Hausfrau he was in Putang, right down the south, at a naval base. He's not in the Navy, but works for a supplier of optical equipment- think periscopes/radar/night sights.
