I can't comment on people who take several weeks to be away
from their wives as I really can't imagine it. Perhaps I'm old
fashioned by my marriages have been more a matter of forming a
partnership than some sort of adversary sort of thing.

=v= Yeah, the whole adversary thing is tiresome and inane, just
a bunch of sad jokes that have been repeated ad nauseum. Maybe
they're understandable as a coping mechanism, but why inflict
unfunny humor on the rest of us?

=v= Separate vacations isn't necessarily a bad thing and doesn't
mean a relationship is doomed. People can love each other very
much and want to spend their lives together, but still pursue
separate interests from time to time.
