Seed for nothing

Hello.
My wife and I are currently renovating our house, so she won’t be home for a while and we don’t have time alone.
I try very hard not to ejaculate unnecessarily, but sometimes there is a very strong urge. Is it permissible to ejaculate unnecessarily in order not to sin by having sex with someone else or by thinking and looking at others?
The woman, when I talk to her about it, says, “I’ll do it myself, I have no problem.”
I would be happy to answer.

In my opinion, it is forbidden. And if you are likely to commit a crime, it does not justify other crimes. Make sure to live together during this period as well.

But there is no possibility at all

In my opinion, there is no permit. I think there is almost always a possibility if it is important enough. There are expenses for the renovation of the house, so you also spend on a hostel or a B&B from time to time. Or in any other way.

See Beit Shmuel on Shulchan Aruch Even HaEzer, section 23, subsection a.

If it is permissible to use it in a way that is not hers (Rem 1:17-25 in the name of the column, and in other sources), why actually prohibit the act if one does not get used to it except in times of need when it is not possible for them to be together? (And during renovations, there are actually fewer financial options, so it is possible that the waste and pressure from the man will upset the woman and it turns out that she brought it not to her will at all.)

Simply put, the permission is only in a utilitarian way. It is always a question of what is between masturbation and coming in a different way or through organs.
