For me not because, i'm a guy, it's advantage. We're in the same situation before, I felt sometimes my wife looked at me in a negative way everytime I arrived at home. And I thought out that this could led us into misunderstanding later if we were always in this way, away from my family. And then later we decided to stay here in the city for the meantime, & later the later, we permanently moved here near in the city & we just bought one of the townhouses in DecaHomes in Canduman, Mandaue, just for us to fight the mis-work interpretation, missing the jacket of the kids hug & crowd, and the presence.
Now, what i'm trying to say is staying away from our family is freezing on each one's mind, each one needs the jacket & hugs of presence. Missing someone you loved is difficult especially when you have a lot of jobs to do, you can't think further, because, every line of sight is family, & especailly if you have toddler and/or below aging one. uhuhuh!!! 
For me, just talk with you husband. Either move your family near your workplace or move your workplace to your family, its either of the two you choose from is the best among your family & you. "Working close to your family is perfect."

But sometimes, in the middle of the week, I would miss them terribly and would want to go home... though, I have all the advantages in living alone here in the city but I still could feel that our decision to live this way might be wrong.....
pls help.... need some of your insights....
