Aww I'm single and miss my husband-to-be every day.?

I'm the DH and I travel internationally for work. Time apart is healthy for sure, but I miss DW terribly when I'm gone (from a week to up to 2 weeks every couple of months). While she does keep her self busy with her friends (and our kids), I know she misses me - she tells me and sends me pictures and texts that are undeniable proof We try to talk every night/morning, even if it's a just a quick hello, we want to hear each other's voices.

I make sure to do all that I can around the house before I leave and we typically have an incredibly passionate night the night before I leave. And the day I get back is just a lot of pent up energy that finally gets to be released.

Night 1: Don't miss him at all. Watch trashy TV. Enjoy having the bed all to myself and not being woken up by him when he gets up early.
Night 2: Still don't really miss him. See Night 1, with slightly less enthusiasm.
Night 3 and beyond: Miss him. Lonely. Bored with TV. Miss having someone to talk to at the end of the day.

I 100% miss him but time apart is important. If there's a trip where I didn't miss him, that's a red flag in my opinion. We always have the best coming home sex.

If you need a pinch hitter to practice on, I'm always available for dirty thoughts.

Sorry, but I'm saving my dirty thoughts for a starter, not a pinch hitter! Hopefully he'll be good for a few innings. I did tell him today to get some rest on the flight home. He got the hint!

So then why are you in this thread?

I wouldn't marry someone that traveled for a living. That's not conducive to raising kids and all the family responsibilities involved.

DH travels a lot. when he is gone a day or 2, I feel a little harassed and resentful about doing everything myself (2 little kids, dog, fulltime litigation job). If he is gone any longer than that, I fall into a routine with the kids, and I start to really enjoy having the bed and remote to myself and generally being in charge. but if we get to day 10 or so, I get lonely . . . . and if I have a busy push at work, it's total chaos.

I did.

Anything less than a week and not including a weekend is NBD. More than that, yes I miss him.

Yes, I miss him terribly as soon as he leaves.

I love getting to do my own thing for a few days, but I do still really miss him! We also both sleep terribly when we're apart - it usually takes me 2 hours or so to fall asleep. It's ridiculous!

Yes. I miss him a ton. But I also love having the middle of the bed to read in. My self care improves too, minus the constant toddler herding.

He says he misses me as soon as he starts cooking dinner and realizes he's not cooking for me, and then again when he goes to bed alone.

Maybe I am an awful person - I start missing him after two days.
