Hi, RULizzie. Distance in a relationship can be a tough thing to deal with. But like any other hurdle it can be overcome by couples willing to work hard at it. It sounds like you and your husband do a good job at it. At one time in my husband's career he worked on assignments that would have him out of town for 3+ weeks at a time. The nature of his assignments didn't allow for him to come home on the weekends. It was difficult at times for us. We tried to talk a lot but I was working full time and he was working odd hours and it wasn't always ideal. Thankfully, we didn't have children during that time as I'm sure it would have been far too challenging. I wish you and your family the best through this.

Hello, I understand your feeling when you stay home with kids and also your husband is away most of the time. It is hard but you have to give him sometime to be with you and your kids. You are lucky that you can stay home, but not me. I have to work all day and all the time. Of course you want your husband to be close and spend a lot of time with you and kids right? but he has to work also, remember? supporting family! it is hard to get a job and money out there. I dont know what to tell you but I think you just have to get use to it and if he has time to stay home then make those time special. I mean, like going out ... do some family fun, take kids shopping or something that he and you feel special about it. I dont really speak to my husband on the phone much cuz he has to go to school and I have to work too. So, we have time to talk to each other only when we are home around dinner time. He is also busy with his homework and two days a week he has to work for me, but I dont mind I just play with my kids and when they go sleep then I just wait for my husband done with his homework and sit down and relax and talk and laugh and watch TV together. Only once a week that we have time all day together with kids, and sometimes I dont have that day either. I think you are just tired from all the homework and kids, that's why you feel a little distance between your husband and you... but please dont feel that way, I think he is trying his best to be with the family and especially you. Another thing, you can talk to him what you want and what you need. he might have a lot of things to tell you too... hope you feel better and find the resolve soon

My fiance and I have been doing the long distance relationship for our entire relationship. So really I have nothing to complain about. I knew what I was getting into when we started dating. He works in the oil patch field and is gone anywhere from a month up to 6 to 7 months. It is very hard let me tell ya. We talk every morning and every night and he always calls when he is done work. What he does is dangereous so I like to know if he is ok and if he made it home without injury. If he is staying in a hotel which sometimes happens I am able to go and see him and spend a few days or a week or so with him. But when he is in camp. It's very touch and go if I even get to talk to him. We don't have any kids yet but we would like to have them in the near future. I guess having children in the picture is alot harder since it's you doing all the work and taking care of them when he is gone. But at least you got him on the weekends.

Actually I envy you, you can count on your hubby on weekends. I think since I got married the longest time we spend together was 37 days. we met in another country, then I got back first to my hometown before him, after 4 months he took his vacation to marry me, 12 days after our wedding he fly back to korea , after 11 months he took his second vacation , we've been together for 37 days, and until now he couldn't get a chance to ask for a vacation, its been 27 months since he left..But this year his contract will finally end, so we'll be together everyday. We chat everyday, web chat. he calls almost everyday. but, hey absence makes the heart grow fonder. right?

Oh, my! I know exactly how you feel. I was in the same experience as yours but you are definitely luckier than me lol. I only could see my husband once a month or two. I was pregnant and alone lol. We used to live in different province, about 4 hours flight, so you know how it feels. We called each other a lot, anyways and thanks to the technology, we could use video call to ease the pain lol. But fortunately in the 26th weeks of my pregnancy, I finally could move to his hometown and I work here as well. Our little girl was also born here. Is your husband allowed to take a few days off so he can stay with you and the kids a little longer?

My husband drives and works for a drilling company and there are times he will be gone 5 and 6 weeks at a time..then he usually is home for a week or two before he goes back out. He will be home tomorrow for the first time since the day after Christmas. We've been married 20 years and doing this for almost 15. I totally agree with your point about talking..and I know our kids talk to him one on one more than alot of kids talk to the dads they see every day. It's not a life for everybody but if you can figure out a way to make it work, it can be a great life. Sounds like you guys have it figured out too.
