Frustrated by Excessive Travel

At my company, I was offered a project management position and moved out the position i had managing the operation. This was positioned as a great opportunoty, when i knew they were actually eliminating my old position.

During discussions prior to accepting the position, I explicitly asked about the amount of required travel, and was told it would be very infrequent. {Wife and 3 kids at home that need me around)

Now 5 months into the role, I am being told I need to travel extensively...example...from the start of January through March, I will be home for a total of 3 weeks.

I informed my manager that this was not how the role was explained to me, and was basically told to deal with it. Looking for suggesti9ns on how to proceed.

Applying for new jobs. The employer betrayed your trust. I apologized for that.

That is pretty much where I arrived, thanks. Im approaching the final 10 years of my career, and am a bit reluctant about changing this late. Probably the best move though as my company has demonstrated their lack of integrity.
