Liz, I am in a more "clean cut" situation than most of you guys so I don't feel the pressure anymore. I used to, when he was still home and I was relieved when he would go abroad on a trip. At the moment, he has no free time during the weekdays and I only have contact with him (because of the kids) during weekends. So for me, it doesn't make a difference. (To be honest, I miss him more knowing he is far away and txted that to him!!!). After what you asked I realised I am not in any pressure for the last month or so. That feels great.
