Dh and I haven't had separate holidays in years. He has been away for a week and I have loved it. Loved it. Skipped about the house, sang in the shower, giggled with my ds, hung out with the neighbours, loved every second. Fallen asleep blissful every night totally happy. I've been with dh for about 7 years .... am I being unreasonable to think this is A big sign that we should break up, or is this a usual feeling among people in long relationships?

We used to live overseas. I moved back to UK first, leaving DH and 3 DCs behind. I loved it.
We're all back together now. [shrug]

I love how tidy my house stays while H is away

E.g. I posted the above during dinner and he got upset and said I'd spent half the dinner on the phone and got upset... Just now I said I was going to make a couple of phone calls while he did bath time and he said... 'I'm not impressed' that kind of thing.

I would be annoyed if my DH was on his phone/tablet during dinner - it is rude and sets a bad example to the children.

However, I do miss DH terribly when he goes away - which isn't often. In the words of the song - the beds too big without him. I don't sleep nearly as well by myself and love it when he is back so we can settle happily into our natural sleeping positions - we have been together over 20 years.

I also miss his support and being there and well - just him really.

Lol. Not woolly mammoth no. Just something more substantial than jacket potatoes with cheese. He's a builer, does 12/14 hours of hard graft and is starving when he gets home.

Hes quite happy to have a jacket potato as the carbs part of a meal. He just would like it with some protein and veg or salad to go with it. Not just a dollop of coleslaw or handful of cheese.

Typical meat and 2 veg kinda guy.
