I have an idea of how you feel. At my last job, I was gone for 20 days at a time every month because I had to rotate into and out of my job. I did this for 6 months until I got my current position. What helped to pass the time is I tried to focus on other things and I tried not to worry about my wife so much. I also had internet access while I was at work (dialup but it's better than nothing) and I always had a few phone cards in my wallet so I could call every once in a while.
My suggestion would be to try and keep yourself busy while he's gone. Take up a new hobby, something to keep you occupied.
Maybe that'll help the time go by faster for you.
