AITAH - for not wanting to drive home every single weekend?
My hubs and I travel for his job in our 5th wheel trailer, from California, and have gone as far as eastern Colorado, 19 hrs from home. We’ve been living this life for about 3 yrs. We’re on a job call right now that is coincidentally only an hour away from both our home towns where both our families all reside. We were stoked to get this call and the first couple months we were driving home allll the time. Day trips, weekend trips, just to run home and say hey if he had a random day off and make the trip back same day. We’re about 7 months in and just getting burnt out even though it’s only an hour, (67 miles, a little over an hour actually)
There’s been a few events the last couple months we skipped bc it’s simply just getting to be a lot, a lot of gas, a lot of wear and tear on the vehicles, and a lot mentally lol. It’s a whole damn process even just going for a day trip. We’re grown, we have routines, we enjoy a slow weekend here and there just as much as the next person. This has upset a couple family members that we’ve passed up events. They refer back to when we were 19 hours away and tell us we should be grateful we’re only an hour away and that it’s easier. Mind you , not one person (except for my parents) have come to see us ever. Not when we were 19 hrs away and not when we’re an hour away. Are we the assholes??
