to not be missing DH?

[GoldPlatedNineDoors]

He is abroad and will be for another week and a half. I got a shock today when I realised he has been away a week already. DD (1yo) is keeping me nice and busy and I know dh is having a fab time.

Due to skype / FB we have spoken to one another, but I feel daft when people say "are you missing him / are you really lonely?" and I say "no / no" then they do face.

No! YANBU. I rather like the time DH is away for a few days with work.

I know what's what and where everything is! I feel really organised without him around!

I totally understand. Enjoy your time with DD. No need to feel guilty. I'd be the same.

DH has regularly travelled for work the whole decade we've been together. When he's away I think of it as a nice little excuse to do things he wouldn't be interested in doing. If he's away for a week or less we don't even chat on the phone or Skype more than once!

Enjoy it!

I love it when my husband goes to visit his family (abroad). Having the house to myself is bliss!

It has been great. Main scorn is coming from DM who cant sleep if Dad isnt there!

YANBU! I love it when DH goes away. I think as long as I'm still pleased when he comes back, it's ok.

I had exactly the same discussion with DH's friend's wife on NYE - she quite likes it when he goes out and gets wrecked and she can legitimately make him sleep on the sofa! (Before anyone gets worried, their DCs have grown up and left home - they had them young)
