​

When FIFO work strains your relationship

 

FIFO work can bring good income, but the distance, changing routines and constant goodbyes can gradually wear down even strong relationships. Many FIFO couples describe feeling lonely, misunderstood, or like they are “living separate lives” even when they love each other

​

Common Problems:

•          Repeating arguments every time one partner leaves or returns

•          Feeling like a “solo parent” or “visitor in my own home”

•          Disconnection, low intimacy and resentment building quietly

•          Kids struggling with goodbyes or changes in routine

​

​What makes FIFO relationships different

 

FIFO patterns of long separations and intense short visits create pressure to “make every moment perfect”, which can backfire and increase conflict. Partners often develop separate routines, roles and coping strategies, so reunions can feel disruptive rather than relaxing. Over time, poor sleep, isolation and work stress can fuel anxiety, burnout, or unhelpful coping (like alcohol or shutting down emotionally).
