It is if you are thinking of/trying to be in a relationship with this man and his situation will likely be the same if and when your R is mended. You have to decide, and what better time to do it while you have time to think on your own, if his career and amount of time he's away is something you want to be a part of, or supportive of. If it has been an issue in the past, then it's likely to be one in the future. Maybe you make the decision now that it's something that will need to be addressed if/when you two get to the point of really working on the R. Sure, it's not YOUR life anymore, but if it may be again, it's not wrong to consider it, IMHO.
