If you're DH or DP was suddenly absent in a nice way (working away etc) what would your go to be?

Mine would be a curry as dh hates it! Then letting all dogs sleep on our bed

Mine works away two weeks a month its bliss. Two selfish weeks and two honeymoon weeks together. I couldn't be living together full time 😂

DP works nights 2 out of 8 and they're my favourite nights! Either a quick tea for DS and whatever quick stuff I want too, or fajita and film night and then peace an quiet with whatever I want on TV, normally until too late aswell.

DS is staying out on one of the next nights too which is an extra treat 🤣

Why can't you eat what you want when your DHs are there?

I couldn't live like that. If I'm cooking, I tell him 'Im making X, do you want some' and he says yes or no. If I only fancy cereal or crisps, that's what I have.

Of course I can eat what I want anytime, we enjoy cooking together when he's here. He doesn't like Chinese takeaway so it would be odd for me to get myself one and tell him to make himself something else.

Fish and chips from the chippy
He’s doing Keto so I couldn’t stand his sad face as he watched me eat it.

Mine works away 2-3 nights a week and I get the kids in bed for 7.30 on the dot, sit on the sofa and watch 'cheesy shite' as he calls it. The best part is coming downstairs in the morning to a lovely tidy kitchen and living room, exactly how I left it!

I'm living apart from DH for five months at the moment, due to (my) work. Mostly, I enjoy this freedom by eating the same weird meal again and again. Two boxes of raspberries, one of blackberries, a large tub of sugar free yogurt, six small sugar free chocolate bars broken up into pieces, and a small tub of sunflower seeds, all tipped into a bowl and mixed together. Obviously I could eat this when living with DH, but I think he would raise an eyebrow when I ate it for the fourth day in a row.

I am also taking my clothes off when I walk in the door and abandoning them on the floor, only picking up after myself on Saturday mornings.

He's coming to visit next week and I'm already trying to coach myself into the idea of sensible meals and being tidy.
