I miss him

[velocitygirl7]

For reasons that aren't really very interesting or worth explaining, I'm living apart from dh for 6 weeks.
I'm in our home with the dc (both older so not much bother) and work part time, so generally have a lot of time to fill. Dh is away, although we can talk, text etc His job is very full on, so he's not always free to chat.
I miss him so much more than I expected. It's like a physical pain that I've never experienced and I'm finding it hard to deal with. I'm not sleeping well and literally feel like my heart is aching.
I'm not sure what I'm hoping to achieve posting this, I just feel sad and it's hard staying cheerful for the kids. The last thing they need is a lovesick overgrown teenager for a mother!!!

Can you get into a good box set on Netflix? The good place
Orange is the new black
Something like that?
Do you have any friends that you could catch up with? A diy project you could do?

Box set sounds good! I've just ploughed through 'Ghosts' on iPlayer with the dc. That was an amusing distraction.
I feel lovesick, we've been together 10 years and although we are still very much in love, I hadn't quite anticipated the physical pain of being separated

I'm lucky to have great friends but they all have busy lives and a few are going through tougher times than me!

Organise some nice bits to do with friends? Some wine & cheese nights? Or them coming round for tea with their kids ? It's only a few weeks & if you have an evening to look forward to at least once a week that will break it up for you. FaceTime in the evening with you and hubby really helps too. I know what you mean, my husband and I used to be really close and in love, when he started working away I really really didn't like it. I got used to it. Now we are not close at all so it's no bother 🙈

Aw bless you.
Try watching 'The Crown', both series on Netflix. It is so absorbing, you won't want to leave it.

He'll soon be home.

Have you thought of writing about these feelings in the form of letters, and posting them to your OH? Letter writing is a very romantic way of keeping in touch that has been almost lost, but it keeps you busy and makes you think what you want to write (handwriting is almost dead too!). Your feelings are so heart-warming to read about, and so many relationships are in strife, it would be a pity for him not to know how you feel :)
