Someone leaves. Someone stays. Then it flips — and you do it all again.
If your relationship runs on a rhythm most people don't understand, Carry-On is the book that finally speaks to both sides of it.
Written by a commercial airline pilot who is also a practicing Dr. in Psychology, Carry-On grew out of a simple observation: a pilot's spouse, an offshore rigger's partner, a touring musician's husband, a soldier's wife — different lives, different languages, and underneath, the same ache. Most books about this way of living pick a side. This one holds both.
Structured around eight pillars — communication, trust, fairness, intimacy, shared identity, ritual and repair, meaning-making, and shared life goals — each chapter walks through what a goodbye looks like from the Leaver's side and the Stayer's side, where the two collide, and what actually helps. Along the way, classic and reimagined parables (from the Porcupine Dilemma to Kintsugi) turn abstract patterns into something you can actually hold onto.
Beyond the eight pillars, Carry-On tackles the mechanics nobody else writes about: the handoff itself, co-parenting across the cycle, and the strange new strain of constant connectivity on people who are simultaneously more reachable and more distant than any generation before them. A closing chapter built as a working exercise is designed to be revisited year after year, as the arrangement — and the two of you — keep evolving.
Whether you're the one walking toward the gate or the one watching the arrivals board, Carry-On is for couples who want more than to survive the distance. It's for couples who want to build something in it.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Carry-On: How to Stay Close Through Constant GoodbyesEvery relationship faces distance. But for couples where one partner is regularly away - for work, deployment, shift rotations, or travel - goodbye isn't a rare event. It's a rhythm. And that rhythm can either wear a relationship down or, done right, make it stronger than ever.Carry-On is a practical guide for couples navigating recurring separation without losing each other in the process. Built around eight core pillars, this book moves past generic long-distance advice to address the specific challenges of relationships shaped by repeated departures and reunions: the awkward re-entry after time apart, the loneliness that isn't quite grief but isn't nothing either, the slow drift that happens when life keeps moving without you, and the communication habits that either bridge the gap or widen it.Drawing on real patterns seen in relationships built around constant comings and goings, Carry-On offers concrete tools - ways to stay emotionally close across time zones and time apart, rebuild connection quickly after reunions, and turn the goodbye itself into a ritual that strengthens the relationship instead of straining it.Whether the separation is a weekly shift, a monthly deployment, or a job that keeps one partner on the road, Carry-On is for couples who've decided that distance doesn't have to mean disconnection - it just means doing love differently.
