Happy or Sad?

Thank the good Lord that you have a man that will work. I have no doubt you miss him. There are so many men out there these days that are willing to let the woman support them while they loaf around and do nothing. I see and hear it more and more everyday. When my husband has a week off for vacation and has been around the house, and we've done things together through-out the week, I really miss his company when he goes back. I even wish at times that he had something he could do at home. The bottom line is I'm glad I have a husband that works and stands up to his responsibility. I know what it is like when they work shift work though, there were times that we didn't even see each other for days on end. I still have all the little notebooks we used back then to tell each other how are day went, chores we did or needed to be done. I worked a reagular 7 to 3 job, he worked 3 to 11 and sometimes 11 to 7. I'm glad those days are behind us lol.

Yes, you are lucky you have a man who is willing to work, but also willing to help out around the house. Since my husband started working out at the gym, the floors don't get vacuumed and washed nearly as often (I am physically unable to do them). My husband works shift work so do have our time together in the morning, after he comes back from the gym, when the kids are in school. However, the kids AREN'T in school right now. Our alone time has been limited over the summer. Right now he is away visiting with family. The kids and I were there but due to commitments at home we had to return early. We came home last Tuesday and he is there until this Thursday night. I am dying without him here. I miss him terribly and he won't call me every day. I spoke to him Wednesday night and by last night I was going nutso. I finally talked to him last night. All I can think about it getting together with him when he gets back. But.... the kids. How am I going to push the kids aside and draw by husband into the bedroom? My girls are 12 and 15 and tend to go to bed later than me sometimes, and I stay up late. They certainly stay up later than hubby who is tired by 9:30-10:00. You will have to work out a new system. We schedule our time together. What day will it be this week? It seems like forever since we've "been together" because while we were away, we celebrated our anniversary but Aunt Flo got in my way. I told him last night my plans for when he returns. We'll have to see how that works out. Once you get used to your new routine you will be able to find time together, even if it means adjusting your own routine to make time for each other. Good luck!

i think you may be wanting that he has a good job, is not it. may be you will initially feel bad as its something different from usual routine. but you will be used to it. also its good when you will think that he is working

Hey, I think you should be happy for yourself, You have such a good boyfriend, or a baby, he cooks for you and he washes your clothes for you, and the mixed emotion you have is what I can call happiness. lol

Good day.. I think both of the feelings are good. He's lucky to have you and by standing by him when he's out of work and understanding him. Having two working people are better than one with the cost of living sky rocketing. Congratulations and good luck.

atleast he has a job and that he is a nice guy and likes you and it seems like he wants to be with you if he is sleeping on the wall very close to you. yess and have a good life with him.

your boyfriend is working not because he wants to but because he needs to. one day, you will raise a family together and i guess he's thinking of saving some money for your future. you are sad because he won't be around as much anymore and i understand you. just be thankful that he has a job. so many people around the world want a job but just can't have one. your boyfriend is lucky to have one.

Hi there pinks17! Congratulations to your boyfriend for having landed on a job. Nowadays, looking for a job is not that easy. I understand how you feel about missing him. If you spent most of your time together, you will definitely have a difficult time coping with the changes. But believe me, things will be fine for both of you. Good luck to you and your boyfriend.

The both of you have jobs so that can only be a good thing, but it is hard when time for each other becomes even less. But you will just have to make the time that you do have together even more special and cram as much in as possible. It is always sad though when things change. My hubby has been on his holidays away from work, he is on his last week this week and so will be going back to work next week, so it will be hard for me to see him go back after having so much time together.

[b]don't be sad. you'll still be seeing each other anyway after work. yeah you'll be missing his company but that will only be for little time and you'll get used to it. at least both of you can help each other when it comes to financial needs right. great that you two celebrated for him having a new work. take care and happy mylotting![/b]

i know how you feel now, my friend, mixed emotions. it is really not that easy to work with that since you are used to it for sometimes now. me and my wife has something like this experience. we are always together every time, everyday. but when there are times that i have to attend some seminars out-of-town, this is what usually happens, boredom, we miss both too much, for when i go, it will be some days and a week sometimes. anyway, this is just the beginning and you will surely get used to it. good luck to both of you.
