These questions can help to determine whether or not you're able to commit enough time to a potential new relationship.

How to manage a long distance relationship
A long-distance relationship is one where two people live far away from each other and do not see each other often. This is due to their work schedules, making it difficult to spend time together. However, they still want to maintain a strong relationship with each other. Many couples are faced with this dilemma when they get married. They live apart and can't spend enough time together. They try to get the best out of their relationship.
There are many ways to deal with a long-distance relationship. It depends on how you feel about the situation and your priorities. You should think about what you can do to maintain a relationship with someone you love. You could think about traveling to visit your spouse regularly. Or if he/she works at a place near you, you could find some way to go there frequently. Even better, you can start writing each other letters. Keep in mind that email communication is always better than phone calls, as phone calls take too long.
You can also use technology for staying in touch. Skype, WhatsApp and Viber allow you to communicate with your partner even if you are not physically present. Although they won't replace regular communication, these apps will enable you to stay in touch.
Consider inviting your children into the conversation, especially if they are young. Children learn more from hearing stories about their parents.

Let them know that your job can be stressful and that you miss spending time together. By telling them this, they'll understand why you don't get to return home as often.
You should remember that while a long-distance relationship can be challenging, it doesn't mean that it shouldn't be attempted. Communication is key. Communication is essential.
