Oh, Shelby! How I loved this essay. I was riveted and sad and moved and thrilled that you have found this balance and this incredible way of sharing it. Measure for measure, I just connected in so many ways. My ex is a private chef and nowhere near this kind of separation, but my little self could not handle those long separations while I was alone with our children. All of this makes sense. xx
Thank yoooou!!! 🖤 I love the ways our stories connect! Thanks for sharing your experience. The privilege (for us) of being childfree 1,000% enables us to do this and continue to choose this for lots of reasons. I cannot imagine doing this kind of distance myself with children in the equation. Actually, I have imagined it and that'd be a whole nother post, a whole different life.
