[quote=Anonymous]My husband is gone for 1 month, it’s been almost 1 week and the house feels calmer.

I’m making less complicated meals. Our 6 year old son does not like meat, so we’re having simple dishes. There’s less dishes, less laundry, one less person I have to pick up after or ask or remind him to help with. When it’s time for bed, there’s no feeling annoyed that my husband has not helped cook, clean and is just laying on the couch on his phone. I took a 1hr snooze on the couch while my 6 year old played in front of me. I wasn’t feeling well and I didn’t have to ask for permission or check in with anyone.

His mom is a burden and in assisted living, there is something she wants or needs all the time. It’s been radio silence since he’s gone so there’s no 9PM calls from my demented MIL wanting a happy meal from McDonald’s or his sister asking him to pick up medications.

My husband is an absolute rockstar when our son is sick and does the fun, active rough and tumble play. He manages the yard himself and picks up dog poop but I do *everything else.* I have one less person to worry about. There’s no yelling or raised voices. There’s no disappointment or asks for help. No whining from my husband that he gets up at 4AM and that he does the yard and that’s enough and how would I like to chop wood, or mow the yard etc …

I feel terrible knowing that my life would likely be more peaceful without him, but our son would suffer with a separate parent household. [/quote]
