Well, that's what's most troubling about it for me. For a month she's known I'd go out on this ride and otherwise we spend quite a bit of time together despite the long hours at work, etc, and I didn't hear that it bothered her for me to be gone until I got back. Not much I can do except promise not to go out next month - which I won't!
