What if many of my friends are losing their spouses to death and I feel sad that I am wasting precious time not spending every minute with my husband sitting around and doting on each other?

What if he is happy working 7 days a week and I am happy traveling by myself a few times a year and then working and living with him?

What if we are supposed to experience our independence and our relationship is perfect?
