Why do I feel so sad when I'm not with my OH

[DontStopKeepPouring]

I'm mid twenties and have been with my OH for two years he really is my best friend. We have DD together and I had DS before I met him.

We can have a lovely weekend together and soon as Monday hits and he goes to work I just feel sad and often find my self clock watching waiting for him to come back. As sad as it sounds when I hear his work van pulling up I'm the happiest woman on the planet.

I kind of rely on him to make me happy which is sad. I love and enjoy my children we laugh we play but it's just not the same as when OH is here.

Does anyone else get like this? Not sure why I get like this Mondays seem to be worse.

@Jeleste sounds like you need to get iur more. How old are the kids? And honestly if you always feel sad when your DH isn't there, talk to him about going back to work or finding some childcare

I was a little bit the same when my second son was born (he's 8 now and was my first child with my now DH, I also have an older son from a previous relationship).
I'd left a very fulfilling job because we'd had to move which coincided with being on maternity leave in a new city where I didn't know many people. I had a few baby groups etc but found myself counting down the hours until DH got home and wanting to be with him all the time.
A few years and another DC later, a new job, now wide circle of friends and busy social life I don't feel like this at all. I still love him very much but am not depending on him for my happiness.
Perhaps if you extend your social circle, have some interests and time outside the family you will a little differently. You are still in the very early stages of a relationship though so I'd probably just say you are still in that lovely 'loved up' stage!

I'm the same @DontStopKeepPouring. We've been together nearly 30 years and as we get older I get quite worried about being left on my own if he dies first. I feel a bit pathetic really.

Can I ask how he feels about this. Does he know. If I was him I wouldn't like it at all, but I accept that everyone's relationships are different. If dh told me this I would be really freaked out.

Do you socialise without him?

Are you married? Do you have a job?

If you’re not married suggest WoH

Wow. Some of the responses on here are really cruel.

You might be bored. You might be co-dependent. It's hard to tell as we don't know you. Look up coda stuff online. Co-dependence is usually due to our attachment strategy which is a result of our early childhood experiences and attachment relationship with our care givers.

Whatever the reason, it's ok, you're human like all of us and don't deserve some of the cold replies you got on here.

I'm the meantime, make sure you have something nice to do on a Monday if possible.

It sounds like you may just be missing adult company in the daytime. I can feel very isolating when you have small children.
