To expect DH not to want to work away for a week?

[loopylou6]

Dh has informend me today that his company want him to go down south to work for a week, he doesnt have to just if he wants to. Anyway we spoike briefly on the phone before and both agreed he wouldnt go, but then he phoned me before and said his boss is on his case and he cant stop thinking of the extra money, He wont go if i say not to but here is the AIBU part, i am very upset that should i ok it he would go since we moved in together (9 years ago) we have only spent 1 night apart and that was when i was in hospital having dd. I will probably get shot down for this post as i know lots of women on here deal with their dh/dp working away ALOT, but ic ant stop feeling so, well HURT

Loopy: I know how you feel!

I also suffer from anxiety and when I first moved here it took me MONTHS to be able to go out on my own!

I am getting better now for the sake of my dd, and just now thinking of going to work. I got a promising interview and may start in 2 weeks...just so happens if my dh takes a job he has been offered he will be away down south all that week too.

We have also never been apart and I would be very sad to see him go and not know how to cope with my first week back to work and alone with dd. And I know it sounds silly but I would probably cry a lot being away from him.

I know you know deep inside that it is up to him (as I do with my dh) but you have the right to be upset and to miss him. He is after all your other half. I would hope you would miss him and not be like whatever see you later!

I would be supportive and let him decide (money always a good thing) but YANBU to be hurt. Can't change how you feel only how you handle it

Hope all goes well!

Thanks EBM. glad you are beating the anxiety, its a horrible thing. X

It is that, but there is hope if you know what the issues are Good luck with you too!
