Anyone in a relationship with someone who goes offshore regularly? after nearly 3 years of this, since just before DD was born, he's done 3 on 3 off, for all this time I've been convinced that this lifestyle is GOOD for us (i love my space plus he gets quality time when home). Only recently have i started to appreciate the stress this lifestyle puts on a relationship (I know - doh!). Learning to live with (again and again) / learning to live without / his need for headspace / my need for communication / communication breakdown / phone only communication usually at really awkward times / bickering / battleground / distance etc etc! i DO know that in many ways it's worse for him, it's tough, and prob sound like bit of a bitch.. Anyone??!
