My strategy has been to pass on /share as many of my work perks to my SO as I can, hotel points, airline tickets, Amex points , well being rewards, I use them all to do stuff with my SO
Date a consultant - they're gone M-Th too and you can maximize points earning potential 💁♀️
My GF just kind of knows that’s how it is. Been only two years but haven’t had a problem. I call her when I’m on the road after work when time permits and do a lot of FaceTiming. Then we stay together Fri - Sun and back on the road. Kind of just used to it now.
Traveled 50% for the first two years, WFH for a year and a half, then local project for a year, now 100% for the past two years. 50% was a dream and I wish I could go back to it. He’s used to it by now though, and he HATED when I was WFH, as did I. There is a such thing as too much of each other haha
Let me know when you figure it out. I tried to find that balance for years and eventually just gave up. Back to the single life.
I’ve known my fiancée for 13 years so 4 days won’t kill her
It's not easy. We have "the fight" a couple times a year. I remind her it's always been something with me, I'm driven and focused and need to be challenge at all times. After 15+ years together I've tried not to lead with that reminder until after I've listened to her without interrupting trying to defend myself or my career.
I don't do M-Th, but both husband and I travel at least 1-2x a month. We text or chat on hangouts all the time (bathroom breaks, lunch breaks, coffee breaks, multi tasked chatting while on laptop) and talk nearly every evening.
You can't
Prioritize time with my wife when I’m home, talk everyday (doesn’t have to be long) on the road, and travel the world as we don’t have kids yet. As soon as this shit begins to eat away at what I love most in this world, I’m out.
It’s all she’s ever known of me so that helps. I had to wade through a lot of people who couldn’t handle it before meeting her though so it can be tough. Hangouts during the day, FaceTime sometimes, not running off with my friends on weekends. She’s busy too so that helps and watches a bunch of trashy TV shows during the week when I’m not around. So we probably wouldn’t see much of each other if I were home those nights anyway
Date/marry a consultant!
