How many times every day do you think about your spouse or boyfriend?

Most days I don't have to think of my spouse at all, because he's always around. Since he's home so often, I simply don't have the chance to miss him. But, when he worked 12 hours shifts daily, I missed him like crazy and wished we could be around each other more often. Nowadays, we're lucky if we can get five minutes space apart from each other. What about you? Do you think about your partner when he or she is at work? Do you miss them? Do you call or email your partner to let them know that you are thinking about them?

Several times a do realy. I don't count of course because it never really occured to me how many times I think about my partner, but it's several times a day. I can be doing something rather mundane and they'll pop into my head. Sometimes I'll be doing something that reminds me of them or something we've done together and that causes it, other times it's just a random event.

I think about my wife everyday. Quite often. We have been married for 9 years, and together over 10. We have two children, and always tell eachother we love one another daily at least 3 times a day. I am a writer, and my book comes out this month. Thanks to her it is getting published. I can say that a relationship works when both understand one another. Just because two people stay togetehr for 10-20 or 30 years doesn't mean they have a good relationship. I work from home and my wife works at an office so I miss her as well. I work at night and her in the day.

I am the totally opposite with you. Me and my boyfriend are on long-distance relationship (it's an online one and we still haven't got chance to see the real face of each other). I do miss him a lot and due to the time difference, we really need to fix a time to talk and communicate on the phone during weekend. Most of the times I am doing fine missing him. But sometimes, when bad things happen or when loneliness kicks in, it would be really hard knowing that he cannot be around and comfort you. I am planning to see him late this year and I wish we could be around each other all the time to catch up with the missing!

All the time, I miss him so much! I think of him a lot while I'm at work, or in University... and much more if I'm home doing nothing and he's the one that's away! I love him so much! Never happened to me before, this kind of feeling, so strong...

I think about my husband all day, everyday. I'm a stay at home mom so I really don't have much else to do but think about him. Today he told me he was coming home early so everytime I hear a car, I walk to the window to see if it's him. I can't wait until he gets home! But I can't call or text him during the day. He works on Navy boats so he's not allowed to take his phone with him due to strict Navy regulations. We occassionally talk in the middle of the day if he takes a lunch but that's only once a week or so. On the weekend, he'll take his phone with him but he's usually too busy to talk. It's fine though. He should be home soon!

When I was in the end days of my marriage I did everything I could NOT ot think about my spouse. It did not work however, and the majority of the day I would think about how bad it all was. Now I have found somebody new and find myself thinking about her quite often. This time the thoughts are psoitive. :) cheers,

I think of and remember my hubby many times now during the day especially when he is at work and I am home-bound most of the time. Unlike before when I was still working, I would think of him but work makes me so busy so that I would only think of him when my mind wanders away from my work. Now that I'm mostly at home I would think of him when their is something that I would want to say or discuss with him at that moment or any moment that is. So that when I really miss him, I would really call him at the office but only for a short time especially if his boss is still around. Sometimes we would talk longer on the phone if he is alone in the office.

I think about him all the time, sometimes in the wierdest places... today I was in the grocery store and just daydreaming about him while I was shopping. Every song reminds me of him... pretty much everything does lol I send him messages or comments all the time to let him know I'm thinking of him.

I think about him all the time. At the moment he is away overseas so I miss him very much. I haven't been able to sleep well at nights either. We talk all the time when he is at work through gmail chat and he always phones us at least once a day to see if my son and I are ok.

I do not miss my husband that much. We see each other everyday that there is no chance to miss him. Nevertheless, we still send endearing sms to each other just to make each other feels special.

Hi beautyqueen! Me i miss my husband every minute of the day, specially when he is working far from us, i always have the time to miss him, even if he is in our house i also miss him because im working during weekdays that's why i always left him at home. We always send text messages or call each other and chat to, when he is away or i am in the office.
