Is it hard for you to sleep without your spouse

There haven't been many times that we were apart, we've only been together 3 1/2 years. But when he is gone, I normally stay up later than normal, until I'm really sleepy, and even then I don't sleep very well without him there next to me. I'm just used to feeling him and hearing him sleep next to me. And I can sleep well even if I fall asleep alone (if I go to bed before him) and he falls asleep on the couch, I guess it's just knowing he is just downstairs. Or maybe it's just being alone in the house that makes me not sleep well, even though I'm not scared of being alone. If I go on a trip, then I usually talk to him just before we both go to bed, that seems to help too. I'll be taking a trip, leaving next week and being gone for almost 2 weeks, and even though I'm sure I'll enjoy the trip, I'll miss him and probably won't sleep as good, unless I stay really busy during the day to the point of just being really tired lol

its really hard to sleep at night when you're used to having your husband by your side. especially when its cold, pillows are just not enough. my husband is my human blanket. i feel safe when i know he's by my side and i can really sleep like a baby knowing i have him til i wake up in the morning. it's also nice to wake up with your husband just to cuddle and linger longer in bed in the morning..whew not you make me miss him more!;o)

I finally found this topic, last night I open tabs for my friend's topic from my mail and I had a peek on your topic, it was like 20 or more open tabs, I said to my hubby that he sleep earlier because I will be doing mylot and answer friend's discussion, I had like 4 or 5 answered discussions when I saw him tossing on the bed, he said he can't sleep and I said OK just 5 minutes and I will for the topic that says it is hard to sleep without partner beside, then I will come by your side you can sleep, and bury within 20 or more tabs, I can't find this and now 24 hours after, ha ha.. oh well my hubby really can't sleep without me on his side it is either he is cuddling me or I am cuddling him, he find it hard to sleep when we are not together, as for me, sometimes I have difficulties, sometimes I wish I am sleeping alone in a bed ha ha

Even after 28 years of marriage, i feel the emptiness when i have to stay alone. The silence is more annoying.

yes... it really hard... coz.. i cant... sleep without my spouse/... even if i know he is in the house.. just stay him beside.. its much better for me to know... wer he is...

Very hard i use to work night shift and my wife would work day shift, sometimes we spend 2days without seeng each other. she would leave at 6am and she come back home at 17:30 and i would leave at 16:30 and come back at 08:00 in the morning and it was funny but hard until i left the job

yes dear i ca understand your pain !! though i was separated because of this sort of thing when my husband went on the business trip for a week to different country and i remember how i felt!! it is difficult indeed!!

hey there heaven11..thanks for marking me as the best response to your discussion. i'll be looking forward to more of your discussions..god bless!;o)
