Being a pilot and having a wife/family is not a good combination.
Maybe you just need a new wife/family
Seriously though, this works for some people and not for others. My girlfriend and I don't mind the time apart and we REALLY enjoy the time together as well as the travel opportunities and experiences. I have no intention of hanging it up. I've done enough other things to still really enjoy the hell out of this.
