Everyone's situation is individual.
One thing is living at a major air hub with work and most of your family next to you. Now imagine that you are having work visa in second country where you live with your partner/spouse, you have no kids or they are in school/college, you got assignment in third country for 6-9 month with people you never met before and none of your friends/relatives are closer than 3000 miles....
Travelling solo is normal and even expected when you are in your 20s or already retired. But travelling solo for people in their mid-40s with full-time office jobs (yes, show up at at 9AM, leaving at 5PM, with vacation days and so on) and committed relationships is kinda quite unusual setup - I yet to meet a person matching the above criteria....
