I agree with Joe1981. I've been working away from home during the week for two and a half years and in my opinion it has driven a huge wedge between us. I'm looking for a job nearby now.
I'm also not convinced NC is a good idea. She could get used to that. I was virtually NC while I was away even before BDay as there wasn't really anything to say: 'got up, went to work, back to the flat, went to bed' isn't newsworthy. My wife used this as evidence against me that we've drifted apart.
