Two weeks? Easy. Five weeks? Impossible.

I guess I'm one of the lucky one's. Maybe the wife likes me out of the house. Logged 16,324 miles last year.

I should rephrase. My wife would probably allow me to go away for 5 weeks. My bank account and job, though, wouldn't.

You either haven't been married long enough nor have had enough marriages.

In less than a month, it'll be 10 years with the same woman.

If you're suggesting I can't be away due to lonliness issues, that's definitely not the issue.

Or you married the wrong woman. Two weeks for something like this would not be an issue for me either. Everybody is different though. We can't paint with a very broad brush on an issue like this.

Everyone is not married and everyone does not have the same profession either. I would suspect that people's jobs, careers or business could not take them away for that period of time than a marriage. I know officials that have these problems just by doing a couple of sports, not just being away for weeks at a time out of town. It also does not help that the benefit of potential income in the immediate future is lacking big time if you become a Minor League Umpire. I am sure there are many reasons people find other things to do with their time for those 5 weeks.

Peace

If you had maybe they would be OK with you being gone longer.

It might be when you make a claim that the reason someone does not do something in a profession is because of their wife.
