I'm missing my husband already!

I can attest to that feeling. My husband is in Iraq right now. He came home on leave for three weeks this past month and I miss him terribly. I hate that he has to be gone for so long. Last year he had just come back from Afghanistan. I can totally understand how you feel!

My husband travels for work too. However, right now he is home. He usually is gone a week or two at a time, but this summer he will be gone for about 3 months at one time. I miss him when he is gone but I know that he is supporting his family and I appreciate that. I think that it does us some good at times for him to be gone as I think that he appreciates me more when he comes home. I have been married for 13 years and so it is a little different plus my kids are older-16 and 11. I am sure that makes a difference too. Just learn to appreciate the time that you have and be thankful that like the ones in the military, he won't be gone for a year or more.

Thankfully my hubby is here right now...but I completely understand how you are feeling. Your relationship sounds like yours...we are love birds to and are always saying the 'love yous' to each other as well. How I can relate to what you are going through is I felt the same way when David used to travel up North every month for a few days. We hated being apart too. We are life and business partners and have two home based offices in our house and are together 24-7. Thankfully he doesn't fly up North on business trips anymore and like you think it would be awful to try and survive in a long-distance relationship. I know it works for some..but like you it sure wouldn't work for me either. Hope you have a teddy bear to hug so you can snuggle with it and pretend it is your Sweeties until he comes safety back to your loving arms. Raia

for several years i had to go away for the week days and come home on Saturday and leave again on Sunday due to my job..this lasted on and off for five years. When I would get home I was vey tired and cranky from ladck of sleep but I would rest as soon as i got home an got sme good home cooked food in me and while i rested my wife would pepare my suitcase for leaving again. Sometimes I got to kake her with me and I would work the night shift in the plant i was working in and escort her to breakfast an lunch and even my supper break..but we would sight see in Chicago and Kanssas City, Missouri and Kansas and we had a lot of fun together in the nearby casinos..and movie houses. But most of the tme my wife stayed home..but this was only about five years and I took a job back in my plant for the last 18 months befored I retired..it is not easy to do this but sometimes it will make the marrige stronger..good luck

I am a military wife, so i understand your pain. My husband has been gone almost a year now and it absolutely kills me at times to be so far away from him. We still do the same things as you do, like newlyweds. It's extremely hard, but at least yours will be home soon. I would like to tell you it gets easier the more they have to go away on a job, but in reality it doesn't. Each time gets harder especially the more you fall in love with that person. Just be strong and realize that he'll be home before you know it. tomorrow in fact. and be glad it's not longer than that. it's very difficult to be away from them, but it keeps you stronger and keeps your relationship closer than ever to miss them and want them home so bad. keep your head up and God bless

I personally like those couple who have close bonds and really miss each other when they are apart. Its no doubt very difficult to stay when hubby is away,this will make your relationship more stronger which has a positive impact on your kids also. I wish that very soon your hubby finds a job at the same place so that you stop dreading whenever he goes and enjoy his company!lol! Good Luck!

My husband travels with his work crew quite a bit too. He restores historic properties and is sometimes gone for two weeks. We have been married for 13 years and have three kids but I miss him terribly when he's gone. I can't sleep without him. The bed feels too cold. We call and text "I love you's" to each other all day long and I talk to him before he turns in for the night but it's not the same as having him home. It just doesn't feel like home is complete when he is gone. But, I know that he has to work and I know that he will be coming home. I know this because I pray for him ALL of the time. I guess after all this time, we are still a couple of love sick kids but that is a good thing.

i think its very normal. there are some persons who are very much emotional.so it is very natural to feel that you are missing someone so immensely. it is hard for partners to stay long away. hope you can call him regularly and try to just get habituated with this situation.

My husband is deployed right now, so I definitely know what it's like to be separated. He's been overseas for about a year now. It was really awful at first, but it got a little bit better once I got into a routine and kind of knew when to expect calls from him and stuff. Now we just have a few more months to go before we finally see each other, so I'm getting really antsy!! We got married just a few weeks before he left, so he's been gone the whole time we've been married pretty much. :P

At least he won't be gone long, but I know what ya mean, I'm going away for a long weekend, my daughter's treat, a scrapbooking retreat, I'll be gone for 5 days, and it will seem like forever lol. I will miss him and my dog, our baby, but it will also be good to get away and relax. My daughter on the other hand had to deal with her hubby being gone for a year, serving in Iraq. He's been back home since last Sept. At least it will only be over night, and it's great that y'all still act like newlyweds, we have only been together 3 years so it's still pretty much that way for us. But we'll be in touch several times a day through email and phone calls.

It is nice that after 7 years of marriage you still feel the same way, as newlyweds, because give it more years and you will see what I mean by this. After so many years together and the kids are grown you will wish for these days back, I'm sure. Unless you keep your marriage alive all the time, it will become comfortable and routine which there is nothing wrong with, but it also can become boring. I wish my husband would go away on a trip and leave me for a few days, alone. I would get so much done and have time for just me. My husband is high maintenance. He needs me to do everything for him.

I know about your feelings dea, because i have also gone through that. My husband used to go on tours some three to four days together on stretch to other places. The kids were very small at that time. I never could accompany him also because he was away on work. So I can understand what you are going through. Now that I have passed 31 years with him, it is more hard when he leaves me sometimes, that too I am alone at home. Kids have grown up and flown away from the nest too. It is really terrible now that no one is there at those times and I am alone at home.

My boyfriend and I are practically attached at the hip, I completely understand. we see each other every day with the exception of the weekend, because of conflicting hours with work and those are the worst days. I spend the time missing him and getting excited about seeing him come Monday morning, when he crawls into bed with me from working overnight. It's the greatest thing. We've been together for a year and a half now, and still seem like we have that puppy love.

Don't sweat it, my grandpa went away to veitnam for about 2 months and still going there. He's fine although he's sixty-something. Have fun!
