['I have a job that requires me to work out of town.', 'Sounds like a fun one to me. Are you happy there?', 'Yes , but its nice to have some one at home who will handle things while you are away.']
I agree. Im sure you get bored or lonely while traveling too.
I have had a job working out of town the last  3 years. Once before I left  the money with my girlfriend to pay the water bill.
