DP going away for the weekend

[PurplePepperEater]

And I cannot fucking wait!!
No shite on the tv, everywhere will be tidy, I won’t be waiting and waiting and waiting for him to do things, everything will just get done because I have a grown up size attention span, I can starfish in the bed...

I’m actually a bit worried that I’m looking forward to him going away so much - I’ll miss him when he’s gone really won’t I??
Does anyone else look forward to their partners leaving for a bit? Everyone in real life thinks I should be dreading it and how it’ll be harder with all the kids by myself - I think it will actually be soooo much easier
Is this normal?

Yes! I love it when DP works away!

O yes, love hubby very much but love a wee night to myself, enjoy

Oh thank god it’s not just me

He keeps asking if I’m going to miss him ... yes of course I am dear

I feel like this aswell OP. My dp gave up a job where he had to work away quite a lot to work I. A job where he comes home every night. I was pretty gutted 😂

I sometimes work away - and we both love it, at least a one-offs

It's wonderful. I can meal plan without him fancying something different. I can work late into the night.

DH is going away for 3/4 nights in July. I can't bloody wait! TV and bed to myself, food I like and will be treating myself to some nice chocolates.

mine is going away for 2 weeks and taking the teenager with him, so its just going to be and our 10 year old.........bliss

6demandingchildren ah now that’s what I’m missing - next time I’ll get him to take a child or 2 or 4 with him

YES!
Chinese takeaway for me!

Yes I love it; life is easier for that short period of time anyway
