All good isight.

Most of my trips are firefighting.

I'm there to do a very specific function.

Or it's an event where my presence is required to "make nice" with others.

I have very little down time.

If it were a trip abroad and I could bookend weekends then sure.

It just frustrates me that after 30 years she hasn't figured it out and part of it is me, it makes me feel guilty that I can't take her which stresses me because I want to make her happy.
