Do you miss them

[Just Add Water]

This is going to sound really odd.. but when your partners go away after being at home for a while do you miss them, or does it take a while before that kicks in? My DH has been away for over a week and another 2 to go and to be honest I'm not really missing him that much. Everything seems to work better when he's not here, I know that I have to do it myself so don't get disappointed or let down by him not doing anything. I just wander if it's normal (he's been home for the last few months most of the time due to not having work) to feel like this or if I should be upset that he's not here.

Because I'm not....

Sometimes i miss him, sometimes i don't.
I think it depends on how long he is away and how smoothly things are going while he is gone.
He recently came home from a short trip (2 weeks) and i didn't miss him. I had my routine, everything was running smooth and i enjoyed a bit of alone time. Some things i like about him being gone - the house is always cleaner, it is generally easier to keep a routine with DD etc ;)
Still love him - but i don't need him with me all the time. It also reminds me i am capable of looking after myself which is good.
Occasionally when he is home i find myself thinking 'i wish he was on a trip' - if he is being particularly unhelpful.

Other trips i miss him like crazy and wish he was home :crying:

Some days/weeks I miss him more than others. I guess it depends how busy I am while he is away, whats happening here at home..stuff like that.

At the moment, he has only been away a week and I am missing him like crazy and feeling really miserable without him. :(

But other times he is due to come home and I feel the time has flown by and I have hardly noticed he has been gone!

I have just found out that he may be away now until after New Years so that will be almost 2 months. I'm not sure how I will deal with this if it happens, as generally he has only ever working 2-3 weeks at a time.

I am also beginning to get really frustrated with TTC, as his time at home and ovulation never seem to match up!!! :hair:
