ive been married 7 and a half years and in total tramped for 6 and a half of them i come home at the weekend and spend as much time with my family as possible .weve had our problems but not related to my job.even though i work away id be lost without my mrs.my mrs has ME not as bad as it used to be but she but she still does all the mom and wifey stuff and puts up with me not being at home for 5 days at a time because she knows i do it for the money and not because i dont wanna be at home with her and the kids.
