I used to go for about 2 weeks at a time sometimes with only a couple days in between. I think that the dogs became the attachment for me being gone. As far as the "Hooking up" thing our sex life was okay after that. It really went down hill after the baby. As far the cleaning thing goes I dont think I should have to work 50 hours a week while she just goes out with her girlfriends, watches tv or lays around and then come home and clean or do dishes, laundry. Thats why I say its her job. She wasnt very active person before we got married but like I said she has gained about 40 lbs and the only thing we do for fun is to go out to dinner. She just quit smoking after 17 years and she has tried to lose weight but when she does decide to workout thats all she does all day. I mean she just stays on the stair stepper literally like 5 hours. Let me say this 90% of the time we have fun constantly laughing, playing, Hugging and Kissing. Most of our friends envy us, also we have had only 1 argument since we got married mostly because I would rather give up then to see her cry. I admit that I am not very romantic anymore but I kind of dont know how to be anymore. I just spoil her by buying her things or taking her out to dinner or the occasional flowers. Let me straight I am deeply committed to this relationship so please hit me with all you got.
