I am in my second marriage and my wife is very supportive and understanding when I am away for any period of time. She always says that it's "part of the job" so she doesn't mind. When I have asked her, she reminds me that she knew this when she met me and when we got married so she's fine with it.

My first wife was another story. She always complained and gave me hell when I was going to be away and especially when I got back. She just never could understand that it's part of the job. That's an obvious big reason why we divorced. In fact, she also mentioned my being away in her divorce papers. My lawyer and later on the judge all got a good laugh!
