I haven't really faced this issue yet, but have discussed it at length with my husband. He's fully supportive and behind me all the way on the idea of me touring. Even if it involves dropping me off at the northern most extremes of Norway so I'm out of his hair for the football (soccer sort) World Cup next year.
The idea of being trapped in the house with several football games a day for a whole month? He's even talking about taking vacation time for it. I NEED to be gone for that.
Aside from that, I really think that in our situation that it is good for us to be clear on how we feel about such things. Particularly with my touring. Before we got married, he knew I loved cycling. Touring is a new development though, so I think it's important that we find our compromise with it since he wasn't aware with my obsession for vanishing for days, weeks and maybe a couple months at a time before we married. Neither was I.
