When Husband goes out of town it gets really lonely around here. He teases me that I love having a bed to myself and I don't even miss him (I will not even
respond to that, OF COURSE I miss him). Maybe it will be easier to handle his business trips when I have a baby who needs me, but in the meantime they are terrible. I don't know how other people handle it. I wish away the days he's gone hardly paying attention to them until he is home again. I don't mind being alone as much as I mind being alone at night. I miss my Husband. I have irrational fears about him dying, irrational fears about me dying or being attacked, irrational fears that he'll be almost home when he gets in a car crash, etc. I don't worry about him all day, because he's a grown up and takes care of himself, I just despair in the tragic irony of situations that could be. And this despair helps no one.
And this despair causes nightmares when I'm
so comfortably stretched out uncomfortable sleeping alone. Husband is so good about texting me while he's gone, and at least I have work and chores and such to do while he's away; but being home alone at night can be so hard.
Come home safe Husband, I miss you. I changed my desktop background to this:
so I could look at you when I opened my computer.
Also Husband, I'm sorry for crying on the phone. The tears were caused by pregnancy hormones, I promise. I would
never cry just because I miss you and I'm lonely, ever.
Matt looks very handsome in this picture. Also, I'm glad there is elvish on his ring.
ReplyDeleteThat's probably my favorite part of this photo.
DeleteLana, I am so sorry that Matt is gone! Stewart was gone for five days last week and I loathed it. I also though he would die or I would die, and I got so scared of everything at night. Too bad we can't have sleepovers when our husbands leave us.
ReplyDeleteI miss you!
Amen Lana! I'm sorry Matt is gone, that is the worst. Sometimes I have fears that Christian will die when he just drives to the dumb grocery store... so you can take comfort in the fact that someone has CRAZIER fears than you (and I'm not even pregnant haha.)Hurry home, Matt!
ReplyDeleteHaving your husband gone is the worst. It doesn't get better after four years and two kids, and it's okay to cry on the phone because you miss him. It better be, because I do all the time. A few days ago, Travis called to say that he missed his morning flight and couldn't get home until the evening and I burst into tears and sobbed for 15 minutes, and I'm not pregnant and it was less than an additional day of absence.
ReplyDeleteSo. Wives just miss their husbands more than they miss us. But maybe the opposite would be true if we left them at home to go out and do stuff. :)
