Wow this thread is really depressing. If I can survive my husband being in the Navy and being gone for 6 month deployments (to the persian gulf I might add) then certainly folks here can make it with their husbands being gone for a week at a time. It is a state of mind, and a willingness of both parties to make the marriage WORK!

I'm quite excited about my husband's career. He has been a flight instuctor in the central valley for the past year, he lived there during the week and came home on the weekend, we just went on a wonderful cruise for our 5 year wedding anniversary. We are committed to making our marriage work and our faith keeps us strong. We are both purusing our passions, his job allows me to live anywhere I want and right now we are choosing to live close to family in the Bay Area. I love my work and I am able to have evening meetings and network with colleagues so I can excel in my career. I love my husband, I love being able to finacially support him, and I love my freedom. Children will come later...after I have achieved all of my career goals.
