First year of marriage I was Tech Service so was posted on a startup / plant commissioning job and the plan was for it to be 4 weeks. I ended up spending 8 and they wanted to push to 9 but I rejected. When I got back wife and I sat down and agreed this wouldn’t be sustainable so I had to switch to Sales which allowed me more control over travel schedule and all but guaranteed that I would be home on most weekends.

Since then we’ve had a healthy cadence, it’s been 8 years no major problems. On the days w not traveling I would take the kids to school so she gets to sleep in.

We schedule time for ourselves and time together with the kids.
