After three years of bliss, Georgie and Jenn are ready to call it quits.
Jenn's job as a helicopter pilot keeps her away from home for long periods of
time. She is home for a couple of days, then away for a week, then back again
for a few days, then gone again.
At first, Georgie liked the alone time, but reality quickly set in.
First, Jenn missed Georgie's company summer BBQ softball tournament and then the
X-mas party. Now most of her coworkers don't even believe that Jenn really
exists! Then Jenn couldn't be there for Georgie's birthday or her nephew's bar
mitzvah. And finally, Georgie had to move their stuff into their new
apartment-all by herself!
It was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Now, all that's keeping them together is two tickets to see
Stink
Mitt's next show.
CBC Radio 3 to the rescue!
Being in a relationship with someone who has to spend a lot of time away
from home for work is tough. When you're making a living in a band, touring can
keep you away from home-and that special someone-for weeks, even months at a
time.
Most musicians have had to become experts at this long distance stuff. So
I decided to talk with Maygen from
The Blood Lines, Chris from
Animal Names, Arif from
Protest the Hero,
Kevvy from
Fake Shark - Real Zombie! and Edo from
The
Clips and
Brasstronaut. Listen to their experiences
and share your own below!
How do you keep your relationship exciting and fresh?
