Solo travel raises some issues in a marriage. Photo: Dreamstime/TNS
Life is in session. My wife has to make an emergency trip overseas and will be gone for an eternity – well, three whole weeks – and I feel all those teenage abandonment issues coming up. I have to stay home because the dog-child is still healing and needs to be looked after, so at least I’ll have someone to keep me company.
Even though I had planned for this event, it was supposed to be somewhere in the future. Happening at the spur of the moment has made it more of a challenge. But we have rallied to make sure that I have some frozen dinners on hand, and there’s enough dog food to last for several months.
