And in the case where the SO isn't doing the travel, wouldn't it be nice if MR acknowledged them as well? Yes, that may "penalize" the single traveler, but there is a cost to both parties.

I keep hearing reports from people that are doing well over 100 nights a year away from their family. I imagine for many that is quite a sacrifice (although some could be a blessing) not only for the traveler, but the family too. Maybe if there was some gesture, either at say reaching a lifetime level, or death, it would encourage more travel or at least make it less stressful.

It's an interesting angle that maybe MR should explore.
