Poor Jessica

don't get me wrong, i fully understand the part about loving what you are doing and having a passion and not feeling fulfilled and all that stuff

unfortunately, job passion and romance passion are 2 strong forces -- and IMO, unless there is balance, something is going to give

if you are a performer and can withstand an LDR and make it work, great, more power to you

but IMO, what it takes to make a marriage work, especially when kids are involved, cannot be acheived if the two spouses are separated for a great deal of time
