How I deal with separation anxiety? I stuff a pillow in one of his t-shirts and hug it all night.
ReplyDeleteMy wife stuffs a pillow in one of my t-shirts as well, but it is for the dog.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - an effigy! I love it.
ReplyDeleteJonah - Lucky dog gets to sleep on the bed when you're away.
Awww! Love the drawings!
ReplyDeleteI usually just take the opportunity to do stuff for myself, that I don't do when the husband's around. Like go for pedicures. Eat cake. Hang out on Twitter all day. That sort of thing.
Awesome - I do the same as Mama Wants This but I completely get where u r coming from. After a few days it's always having the space in the bed that keeps u up and really makes u feel the separation.
ReplyDeleteMy hubby is about to leave in September to go to school. We'll be apart for a year so I am a bit nervous about this to say the least.
I stripped, sanded, cleaned, & painted the living room, drank (a lot), hung out on Twitter a bit, and watched movies he's too scared to finish watching. LOL
ReplyDeleteMaybe if you worked on a little surprise for him (and the kids) it might take your mind off of everything.
ReplyDeleteIn the time we've been married the longest I've been without Richard is one night at a time a total of 3... *BUT* when we were newlyweds we had to live apart for the first 2 months 3 weeks of marriage! That was PURE hell! We were house hunting, both of us still living at home (well, I had just moved back home 2 weeks before we started dating). Anyway, it was a nightmare. We only saw each other on Saturdays and Sundays! But we managed and we feel asleep hugging every night for a month when we moved into our first home (tummy flu stopped the habit). Good luck filling the man shaped whole in your heart. :-( Maybe chocolate... :-D
Being a military family, my husband is gone often. I use it to concentrate on myself and projects I would normally prioritize lowly. I LOVE the drawings!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute cartoon!
ReplyDeleteAlison and Bewildered Bug - I want cake now. I mean NOW. Hey..... a year? That's so long...what about visiting?
ReplyDeleteSarah - I agree a big project is good. Which is why I'm doing Extreme Home Deco at the moment, like Stephi did!
I wear his Stella Artois Tshirt that he gave me,this was when we were dating back then. Believe it or not,before I decided to settle down with the hubby,figuratively speaking, I'm like an 'army wife.' He goes home twice a year and for only 16days each time. I hooked him up with all the gadgets and we watch each other sleep at night online/oncam while the other goes through his/her day doing stuff. It was tough at first but my parents taught us that if we want to work things out,discipline,trust and compromise are the key to long-distance relationship. (My dad worked as a nurse for 13years abroad,living proof that long-distance relationship works if you are willing to work it out.)
ReplyDeleteCai - are you saying you only see him twice per year 16 days each time? That's haaaaaaarrrrrrd. I do agree that discipline, trust and compromise are key to any successful relationship, but a long distance one needs 3/3 all the time. *I bow to you*
ReplyDeleteI love that you decided to make the best of a hard situation. Bed angels look fun...I might just have to try that tonight!
ReplyDeleteDear Jonah, my husband thinks I like the dog better them him too. I have taken to rubbing his shoulders and cooing I love you to him and every so often I scold the dog for messing something up. It seems to have worked on him and the dog still knows I like him best.
ReplyDeleteWonderful!
ReplyDeleteYou think about how wonderful it is to be married so long and still miss him if he's not there. :) #happy #love - then you make bed angels until you fall asleep.
ReplyDeleteYeah, pillow-stuffing became a necessity when his work took him to Asia and I had to stay here because of too many projects. We would see each other about 1 week every 2 months when he had to report to head office in Montreal. Then came the time that I had to 'move' to Toronto (eek) for business. I was there every 2 weeks. So now, all that travelling is over and done with, hubby has found a hobby that keeps him beside me whenever I'm working.
ReplyDeleteOH!!! Hubby became Hubby while he was in Asia (ie: that's when he proposed to me and promised that distance will always be temporary) *sigh*
There has only been a couple of times that hubs and I have slept apart and they were all when either of us were in the hospital.
ReplyDeleteWhen that happens, I sleep on the couch with my doggies, they don't like to be without him either. =)

My husband moved to Chicago for 3 months this spring (poor guy lived with my parents) in preparation for our move there this month. How did I cope?
ReplyDeleteI really haven't the slightest idea. I liken it to having a newborn; you really have no choice, so you just keep moving forward. I will say I loved having the bed to myself (he takes his half from the middle), but beyond that, I don't know how I survived.
Oh. RIght now? He's on a business trip. We close on our house and move in one week. Yes, I'm a wreck. But I get the bed to myself tonight. ; )
