Distance Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

Since I work off coast, I was away from home for months. After my two-month vacation, I have been away from home for couples of months right now. It seems that my wife is troubled with questions bogging her mind about the things that I do away from home. Is it normal for women to have suspicions when their husbands are away? Would it somehow affect the relationship? How could this feeling be remedied? Thanks for your replies...

my wife last i met her was two years ago at court. we had our differences. but i know still she loves me. woman cannot think of a moment without her man and kids. that is her life and her universe.

Some women are like that. For me, those questions bugging her mind is normal because you are away from her. But it doesn't mean that it will affect her relationship with you. Maybe it's just one way of letting you know that she loves you so much and hoping you'll not make anything that will ruin your relationship. Communication is very important. Continue communicating with her even your away as if you're just with her. Make it more exciting. It will surely help.

Yeah, distances do really makes the heart grows fonder ^_^ ANd being away from home for long period of time, will need trust from u and her, in order for the relationship to work well ^_^ ANd well after all, u are all alone somewhere, and it's natural for one to think that u will need some accompany, thus it's normal for her to think in that way too.. And if she's the one whom has to work off coast too, i believe u will think like her, being suspicious.. Maybe what u can do is to keep assuring her and that u should always call home, tell her about your work, tell her about your problems and troubles all that ^_^ And in a way, she will feel more at ease, because she's the only person u will confide in, and she wun feel so bad or suspicious ^_^

I think it's nothing but normal not just for women to feel that way. But then again, if there's trust in the relationship, it should not be a problem. Try to communicate with her more often... phone calls, emails. Just reassure her that you love her and being away is not also easy for you.

yeah. that's what i have been doing - reassurance. gues it has something to do with the "frailty" and being "emotional" of women. correct me if am wrong. am trying hard to win back that TRUST. at times,i just get frustrated when i am accused of things i do not do. thanks a lot...
