My wife needs and deserves the companionship, and enjoys going out on real dates. Affection on a regular basis is good any relationship and good for your mental health. I spend a significant part of the year away from home on business, and can be gone for long periods of time. Sometimes my wife will visit me once I am settled in, but that is rare due to her work. She prefers to find guys looking for a longer-term, regular thing that can last weeks or sometimes months. It generally stops when I am home, unless I ask her too or if she has someone she really likes. The two main problems are many guys don't want to take "breaks" because I am home, or they say they want a long-term thing but disappear shortly after the first hookup.
