Although you're going to be gone gone for 4 days, you're going to be 100% home for 3. When you're home, you're really home. Not 9-5, not bring a little bit of work home for when the kids go to bed, you are HOME. This may or may not bring her some piece of mind.
I will add that in the right relationship it is great. My fiance' and I thrive on me being gone for half the week. We each get our alone time and it is great.
This first furlough almost ruined us!! SHe was screaming "YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO WORK!!!"
