Yep, that changes it for sure. Years back when DH was still just my bf, i used to find him getting in the way, messing up 'my' house, getting in the way of my plans for the weekend and moving things in 'my' bathroom etc. I got used to being single and living alone, and then he'd come home and i'd get a bit frustrated!
Now i just want him home all the time!!! I'm grateful he's just a shift worker and not FIFO anymore. If you can do it for a certain period of time and then give it up, i think that is a good thing. But i guess the good money can be hard to pass up too.
