Had a friend, who experienced this in her marriage, n they are now heading for divorced. Same-ish story, he would be away from home for work, leaving her 3 days of the week with the 2 kids. Recently, he just hit her with the “let’s separated”, she was stunned n didn’t know where it was from! Turn out he has a lady outside -.- not saying Max is cheating on Ava, but long distance relationship is very hard with kids. The mother will need supports and relieves from the kids, and being loved by her partner. When you don’t provide that, the mother/wife will always feel insecure (whether or not the husband works away from home). What matters is you both keep at it, life is imperfect, one/both just need to recognise that
