Is the husband obliged to return from travel due to his wife's crying and pleas, especially when there is no work available for him in his home country?

The husband is advised to reassure his wife and promise her a swift return, as scholars have stated that a husband should not be absent from his wife for more than six months except with her permission. Therefore, he must try to return to her before this period is complete, for the soundness of their religion and the chastity of each for the other is an important matter that must be safeguarded.
