to not know how to cope without my beautiful DP for two weeks

[chubsasaurus]

I'm going on holiday with my lovely, widowed and ageing father tomorrow which is great, looking forward to it etc, but in 3 hours I have to go back to his house leaving DP in our house for the next 15 days. AIBU to be totally grateful to lovely father but already feeling a bit of loss and sadness... it's only 2 weeks... but 2 weeks of the sort of fun DP and I together would adore... sad face :( (he's at the shop buying wine, i'm not just wasting our final couple of hours for weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeks)

Two word for you OP. Skype Sex.

words
FFS!!!

Hey ladies this is just a boast in disguise!.......She is going somewhere hot enough to need bikinis and where you can get coconut drinks. She has a gorgeous df who is sexy and makes her laugh.
All I have to look forward to next week is a week at work, but hey at least I have a non beautiful dh to come home to

Think I will start a thread about how tight my diamond shoes are and whether I am being unreasonable to have them made bigger

I read your OP and was ready to type "I think you typed the web address wrong love, it's m-u-m-s-n-e-t dot com and not n-e-t-m-u-m-s dot com

But having read your later posts I shall forgive you slightly.

Enjoy your holiday.

he is lying on bed looking hot

she is posting on mumsnet

lol, says it all really

YABU mine had to work abroad for ten months....I didn't se him for 5. You have the chance to spend precious time with your Dad...get over yourself.

Claws are out tonight...

He's on the phone to his DM, to do much else aside MN while packing would be ultimately weird

I tried to sit on my hands and not type but I couldn't help it - have a peek over at Forces Sweethearts and see how long us forces wives have to go without seeing/speaking to our spouses.

I know it's hard and you've not done it before but you'll be fine.

My dh went on op tour:

1. during my pregnancy for 6 months
2. when dd was 1 for 7 months
3. when dcs were 5 and 1 for 7 months
4. when dcs were 7 and 3 for 7 months

It's hard but you just have to crack on - and you're on holiday with no kids! we are left at home with the kids and knowing our parters are in danger every day.

Sorry to rant on but you sound like my SIL who can't cope if her DH gets home at 6:10pm one night in 6 months!!!

Chubs your OP sounds like another universe from mine at the moment. Dp and I are living in different countries at the moment due to the recession.

We had to close our business, I had to pack up my stuff and say goodbye to my dp and friends and house and go back to my home town with our 3 month old dd2 and 2 year old dd1. Dp works over there and comes to see us when he can, which luckily at the moment is every 6 weeks or so. But I probably won't see him for 5 months over the summer and we mightn't be living together again for another year. The worst thing isn't missing him, it's seeing the girls and knowing what he's missing out on

Count your blessings, enjoy your hols with your dad and when you get back make coconut drinks for your dp, put your bikini on and get a plastic palmtree from somewhere and pretend you're on holiday together!

Sorry I should have thought before I typed, I know I'm very lucky. I'm sorry so many of you have to spend so much time apart it must be incredibly hard.

Does anyone else have parents with weird time obsessions re airports? I've just made it to Surrey to my dad's house and despite the flight being at 10.30am we are being picked up at 6.30... so that's a good 3 hours before the flight at Gatwick. Mentalist.

enjoy op.df is madly obssessed with time schedules.Feel your pain.Have a good un and like someone else said Skype

Glad you "saw sense" chub - I've been married for nearly 30 years and when DH was away recently I enjoyed the bliss of doing whatever the heck I liked.
Of course I missed him, but it's nice to "have a break" now and then.
I'm also very aware how hard it must be for forces wives/husbands whose OHs go away for lengthy periods of time and who must worry constantly abou their safety.
Enjoy your holiday - sounds fab!

Crikey you'd better get to bed then! Yes, my parents like to be at the airport 3 hours before the flight, but that's because they like to get themselves comfy in the bar with a vodka/whiskey to kick start their hols, even if it is 6.30am!

Have fun! (and yes, Skype sex sounds fab )

I would hate to have 2 weeks away from my dh.

I like you chubs. Your OP was ridiculous, but your subsequent posts have made me laugh. I'm glad you love DH so much and that youve posted on AIBU then accepted that YABU (rather than fighting us, like most posters here do!) Have a brilliant hol!

Totally pulled it back there with the rest of them

Yes I know exactly what you mean about doing something fun and wishing your DP was there to share it with!

I hope you enjoy the holiday :)
