Possibly. Not for nothin, but if my wife had to commute to Cali for work several times a year and I had to be Mr. Mom all alone, I’d be pissed myself. Which explains a lot of single mom’s attitude. I don’t and can’t blame them for that crap.
On the flip side, if I had to do the type of traveling, I’d probably tell ya to stick it. I’ll do it at home or find something else because that kind of commute is an insanity.
I don’t think his wife “HAD TO TELL HIM” but I’m sure she mentioned what a drag it is without him. Besides, why would you want to leave your wife if all is good?
