Anna, I’m so glad Reid shared my blog with you! It sounds like we’ve had many of the same challenges in common. It’s definitely not an easy lifestyle, but even with all the tough stuff, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Thanks again for taking the time to comment. I hope you’ll drop by again soon. There’s also another woman who follows me who shares our similar experiences.

I was directed to this post in your blog by my good friend Reid. He sent it my way I’m sure, because my husband is a cinematographer and travels a great deal to far off lands as well. Most of what you said resonated so perfectly with me. It was refreshing, however, to read your positive take on reasons why the traveling husband is “good”. I appreciate that so much. Too often I dwell on the difficulties of the situation – instead of embracing the good that comes of it. Thank you!!

On one hand surreal, on another so very real. Fabulous shots…

Kristine, I’m sure out of anybody, you can relate most to the benefits of time apart. It definitely helps give one balance, and an appreciation for one’s partner. Another benefit…eating whatever you want for dinner, WHENEVER you want, and not having to answer that same question EVERY NIGHT, “What should we have for dinner?” : – )

Becky, I totally related to this blog! I too feel that Steve and I are so lucky to have so much time apart. I think it makes us stronger individuals and a stronger couple. You really learn to appreciate the time you have together and not take it for granted. You nailed it right on the head “flexibility” is the name of the game.

Shannon, I’m so glad to see you here and know you are enjoying the blog. Thanks for taking the time to drop me a comment. Yes distance…or breathing space…or creative time…or whatever you want to call it gives one a wonderful sense of balance. It also makes you appreciate the love of your life even more when you don’t know how much time you’ll have together before he has to jump on a plane again. Thanks again for commenting. My next post will be coming soon. Stay tuned! : )

Becky,
I have to say that I am really enjoying your posts. I anxiously await the next one, each time. Evy, and I have found it to be a great topic of discussion on our runs. As I was reading your posts I was thinking how distance at least once in awhile would be great for any marriage. I’m sure it gives you time to think about even the little things that you love about your partner. Keep up the wonderful writting!

It’s intriguing to see the POV shifting from that of the rugged individualist to that of a couple, a family, and, by extention, a culture. Our culture has such mixed attitudes about your role, and I look forward to reading each of your posts. I’m glad you’re getting the story out there from your POV instead of a biography about your talented husband’s amazing career. Shift happens.
