Sounds like the argument may be more with yourself. I had plenty of time off and just wanted to stay home, I don't know if he's like that. My wife and kids loved me being home, but they liked to travel, I don't, done enough of that. I got back into it because of the money not the love of the job. Sounds like you love your job but it is an inconvenience to your plans. Or are they his? That could cause a bit of friction, if that is not the case, you have a bit of soul searching to do. Sometimes doing a job you love is more thereputic than getting away. Balancing life is an art, it is hard, but rewarding if you can find it, or so I've seen in others, I'm not quite there.
