Default I Poop When Mommy Leaves

Ruby is housetrained, but has gotten to where she poops (in the same spot) when my husband is watching her while I am away, even for an hour. I told him to leave here in her crate or keep her shut in the room with him while I'm gone, but, you know how husbands listen. I understand this is a separation anxiety thing, she used to pee a bit when she got excited (like someone came over), but we stopped by saying hello and goodbye calmy and not making a big deal of leaving/arriving, etc... She is crate trained and always stays in it when nobody is home...she only poops for him when I leave, not for me when he leaves , although she loves him very much...I just got a job so I am gone more, but he is home more because his law school is over...Ok, so what can we do besides leave her in her crate...sometimes I am gone overnight so leaving her in there that long is obviously not an option...any ideas?
