hi Jaz, how are you? I have been away from mylot for a long time but have resumed today. Looks like you love your hubby very much and can't bear being separated from him for long. But you have your kids with you. Of course its much more comforting to have the man of the house around as you feel safe and secure. Anyway since you say he will be back on Friday you don't have to worry too much.Keep well.

Yes i am still grateful that i was able to do some one on one with my kids, bonding time with them.. but we honestly all feel lacking, they would say it would be a lot more fun with dad around.. or they do ask when he will come home. but glad it is monday now and a few more days he is around. glad to see you back here too! i was also away for some weeks too as a lot happened.

The good and the bad of being alone in bed. When I was in Bkk, I had this queen size bed but I was alone. I only slept on one side of the bed, hardly moving at all! I got so used with someone beside me.

As the saying goes, absense makes the heart grow fonder! And it's a true saying at that! I do understand how you feel because of the time when my husband was in the Army and he was gone a lot. Two times he was gone for a full year. Now that was REALLY hard! When he came back home, we had to relearn how to live with each other again. The love was still there but the living together again was new again. lol I think we all as couples need time apart so we can rekindle the sparks that seem to dim out when together all the time. Enjoy your time for he'll be back soon enough!

It wasn't easy at all but I kept busy all the time. I had all the things he did to do myself and all my things too. Plus I read a lot and cross stitched. It was hell but I had to do what I had to do if I wanted to stay married and I did. Plus I had a few friends that helped me through it too.

Well, you continue to let him know that he is missed. Those texts could even get a little smokey too. Wonder what you will get when he gets home.

Hi Jazel Right! Same feeling here... but then, I have found some way out. I have put some of my books, my towel and almost everything that I could get on the bed to make the space occupied Wished I had some camera to take a pic of it and post here to vouch for my stand.

Hi Sid You mentioned 'pic'? I thought you would upload the 'friends of mylot' like you did last year... good that you don't feel alone with so much stuffs around you but hope you did keep some space for yourself in your bed.

Well, I sleep every night alone. I have my own personal bedroom with one bed act just for one person. However, it happened to me several times to sleep alone in a double bed. It was equally comfortable. That said I'm not used to sleeping with someone else in the bed. I know that I would find myself badly, or, rather, not at ease.

yes if we do something not the usual it would be really uncomfortable.. and on my part i am so used to having my husband around that i really find it hard that he is still not home.

I knew the feeling my dear but now I am used to it and even get irritated if someone sleeps with me My youngest son use to sleep with me but now he's back to his room (well and good) But still my bed feels empty at night cause I am a late sleeper and goes to bed early in the morning due to my new online job that requires me to go online from 1am till 5am.

That is how I felt the first time my husband had to go to work on the site under his dad's project. I think he was not home for 2 weeks. But after being married for 19 years, I want to have a bit of space between us from time to time. Coz it makes both of us miss each other and getting together is always a wonderful moment.

Ah, when you are used for someone sleeping next to you, you will feel lonely when you have to sleep alone. But glad to know that your husband will come back pretty soon. And you don’t need to feel lonely when sleeping again.

Hi jazel_juan! Hehe. You made me laugh because I can relate in a way that I also sleep alone on my queen size bed and my love is far away for the mean time. Good thing you have your kids to sleep with you. I only have my huge teddy bear to cuddle during those times and several pillows with me. As much as possible I don't want to roll over the big bed because it will only make me feel sad. Haha.
