Can You Survive Long Commutes?

Should I Be a Frequent Flier asks: "I am currently considering a job offer in an Aerospace company, and suffice it to say, I am very excited. Unfortunately, there is a catch - I would have to fly to work. While this may seem appropriate for an Aerospace job, it might not be appropriate for a married life, as it would require that I spend two or three nights a week away from my family. This is a big step, and I don't want to pass up a wonderful opportunity, but I don't what to wreck my marriage for a job. Does anyone have any experience with this sort of arrangement, either pro or con?"

A lot of people are suggesting you move, but...

I have a better idea. Clone yourself. Did you see Multiplicity [imdb.com]? Michael Keaton was, as usual, hilarious, but more importantly, he had the right idea. One of you can go to work, one of you can take care of the kids, one of you can have sex with your wife, etc. I'll let you figure it out amongst yourself who gets to do what, but I believe this is the solution you're looking for.

"Nice people exist called real estate agents..."

You're joking, right?

Were you kidding about the "nice" part or the "people" part?

Don't talk nonsense. If anybody is qualified to give marriage advice, it's Slashdot readers.

You're actually reading the content. Moderation is usually decided by the first sentence.

"What are you, a fucking idiot?" will get modded flamebait, even if (as is not the cse here) it were followed by the single most relevant post ever.
"I'll probably get modded down for this." is the slashdot karma whore's secret weapon.
"Why yes, I'm an aerospace commuter" (or whatever) = +5 informative, every time.

In summary:

"What are you, a fucking idiot? I'll probably get modded down for this, but I am an aerospace commuter, and I'll tell you..." = -1 Flamebait
"I'll probably get modded down for this, but you are a fucking idiot and I am an aerospace commuter, and I'll tell you..." = +5 insightful
"I'm an aerospace commuter, and I'll tell you that you are a fucking idiot?" = +5 informative
"You are actually reading the content" = +5 Funny.

Any questions?
