Abstract

Is she going to leave me? This is the question I’ve been asking myself for quite a long time now. The conversations I have with Heidi are largely reduced to blame games: Who was responsible for the move that is bringing bad luck to our marriage. Other things I’m blamed for are that I’m married to my job or that I have no time for the kids. Yes, I missed the school performance of Beauty and the Beast where Johanna was Belle. I really regret it, but it was out of my hands. Flight cancellation due to heavy fog in Milan. This led to another night in Milan, and so I missed the connecting flight to the States from Frankfurt. It is not easy being away from my family, missing my kids grow up, and feeling guilty about it. But we never had the situation before where she blames me for being away from home.
