I retired a few years ago, my wife is a bit younger and still has a couple more years to work. Although we take some trips together, I also do a number of relatively short solo trips, usually 5 days or so, often Sunday - Friday. The one longer trip I take, Spring Training in Florida, I encourage her to join me for at least part of it, and my sons might also do part of it.
Perhaps something like that will work - some of the trip done solo and the other partner joining for part; maybe with the overall trip shortened. That assumes it is a really good job or the money is too good to pass up, but if it has a 130 mile commute, it may be less than ideal. But even doing the whole trip solo might work, if everyone's OK with the idea. Whatever works.
