There are these rare times when my husband has to go out of town for work. Usually I miss him so much that I cant really do anything else but wait for him to call me. This time though it is a whole diffrent story. I am actually excited that he is out of town. I get to do my things. Hang out with my friends, watch my stupid shows, and just have some alone time with my kids.
I have never really felt this way about him being gone. Now dont get me wrong, we are not having any problems. We are doing quite well in fact. But this time there is this sense of freedom. I dont know if it is because we have been together so long or what. any take on why this could be?
My husband is out of town and I couldn't be happier

Report Abuseno worries, you just get some YOU time. my mom likes it when we get home before dad cause she, like you said, gets to watch HER shows, and eat without having to consider him in making dinner, and spend time with us just herself.

Report AbuseYES I NO THE FEELING. IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MUCH YOU LOVE SOME BODY, SOMETIMES YOU NEED SOME SPACE. WHEN HE IS AWAY FROM YOU LIKE THAT ITS GOOD BECAUSE BOTH OF YOU GET TO REGROUP. A LITTLE ABSENCE MAKES THE HEART GROW FONDER AND TOO MUCH ABSENCE MAKES THE HEART WONDER.

Report AbuseWhen the cat is away the mice will play. Everyone, even your husband needs space. Good for you, enjoy your time "off." He is probably having a nice time, too, nothing bad, you trust him, but to sit around and relax without the woman around is like a vacation (please, don't be offended) but it's true. Why do you think good old dad would go fishing so much? No kids yelling and fighting, no wife wanting things done around the home, and no phone calls. It's like heaven...

Report AbuseMy new hubby just moved to germany and I won't see him for 3 months. We've been together 3 yrs, lived together 2. It's only been 2 days, so i don't think a part of my brain realizes he'll be gone so long. But I feel a huge sense of freedom, and feel kind of bad. It's been so long since I've not factored someone else into every choice thruout a day- what to eat, what to do, what tv to watch, what time to go to bed. I love it! I hope I can figure a way to live life with him that allows me this sense of me-ness to remain. Makes me think of Virginia Wolfe's A Room of One's Own. I hope I start to miss him soon, or then I'll worry!
