I dropped my husband off at the airport around 10 hours ago for his business trip. He’s still in the same time zone, but the separation anxiety is creeping in.

I have to scoop the kitty litter, take out the garbage (just outside the door but whatever), and have to scratch my OWN back to sleep? Friday can’t come soon enough. Never thought I’d enjoy being around someone as much as I enjoy being around him.

Can’t wait for him to come back to we can get some takeout and watch Too Hot To Handle and Suits, together.

  3. Maybe your love language is quality time and you have a good close relationship with him so you really enjoy being together. That’s a good thing when you have it – as long as it’s not so extreme that you can’t really function on your own.

  4. My husband is in the military. We don’t have kids either. So, I spend oodles amount of time alone. LPT: buy yourself a back-scratcher, one of those that has a little “claw hand” at the end of it. Works like a charm to reach those spots you can’t reach yourself.

    Also, guilt-free food and TV splurges. You can stuff your face with whatever you want and watch whatever you want, for as long (or as little) as you want. It’s okay. Nobody’s there to judge or watch or stare at you.

  8. I’m like this too 😭 7.5 years in and I’m still massively obsessed with him 😂 He never leaves (works from home) but I occasionally take a couple days to go visit my brother, or go on a girl’s trip (we recently moved far away from my best friends). I come back at least a day early every single time because I can’t stand another day without him lol

  9. I love road trips, and I travel for work and have family out of state. One of my favorite things is just chilling in a hotel room alone, but still…. it feels like I haven’t fully lived an experience of I didn’t share it with my partner. Nothing beats home… both the place and the person.

  10. I cried dropping my husband off for a weekend trip to his grandma. It’s hard!

  11. Suits is the shit lol. Nothing better than liking the person you married. Congrats and I wish both of you a long long happy life together 🥰

  13. Been there done that we are blessed. Let him knock w how much you appreciate him and nurture your relationship. It is precious treasure.

  14. It’s okay. It’s normal to miss your partner. Maybe think of something fun you can both do when he gets back. It could be a surprise, or just something you guys can both look forward to. Plus you’ll have have something to talk about and maybe it’ll feel less like he’s gone if you guys are actively conversing over something.

    That or take up a hobby 😄 They can be fun too haha
