Absence makes the heart grow fonder? Does it?

[Twomonthsago]

My DP doesn't work away but he does work long hours and six days a week. The Sundays he is here he just gets under my feet, follows me round, tells me useless crap and generally annoys me. I look forward to spending time with him but in reality when he is here he just messes up my routine and tells me how I could be doing things around the house better! Monday rolls round and I feel bad.

How to people feel when their partners truly are away often? Does the heart grow fonder or do you have similar issues to me. Genuinely curious because I feel like a right miserable cow after today.

I think so. I used to work for airline and away all the time, go away on Monday, come back on Friday, normally. I used to really miss my dh, and he used to send me lovely messages all the time. Since I had dc and I quit my job so basically I am here all the time, we both lost the appreciation for each other in a way, I think.
But in your case, I don't know. He is not really away, you still may do things for him and deal with real life stuff everyday, regardless of you not spending time or not during a week.

If i loved my partner and had one day a week to spend with them i wouldnt describe them as under my feet. I think you like it better when he isnt around, it seems.

I wouldn't read into it too much. All that's happening is you are getting used to your routine in the week and then have one day where it goes out the window and you find it hard to adjust. I think for the benefit of your relationship you need to view the day he's home differently - try not to have any goals of getting things done. Let it be about each other and try to let the routine go knowing it can come back the next day. Basically you are having to behave single and independent all week then adjust overnight for one day which can be hard for some people to readily accept so you need to put in the effort to make it successful.
