Uch I'm 36+1 and dp has left me again this evening for work, he has only just got back from being away in warmer climates playing soldier, we've had 3 maybe 4 days together and now he has gone away AGAIN for 3 weeks :(

I'm so fed up he literally left minutes ago but now I'm just lonely again. I hate sleeping in a empty bed, and my hormones aren't helping.

Sorry for the moan.

I'm terrified of going in to labor and him not being able to get to me :(

Just wanted to say I get the loneliness too really bad. Going straight from school to uni to being a sahm was a massive shock. It does get easier though. My husband works all the time . Do you have your mum close by?

I do yes, without giving much away I live with my mum and nan but not in the same property, I have a property within the grounds of the main house.

I pop in to the big house in the evenings but then I have to go to bed and I hate it :( I know I'm being pathetic.

No advice but it is really sweet to read your thread - to be honest after 25 years of marriage I crave the weeks my DH is away on business Grin.

Aww it's not pathetic at all. You can't help feeling that way. I wish I had any advice other than just it does get easier and your life just gets more and more busy. I hate sleeping in an empty bed too and hate it after ive put ds to bed ... but that's just my me time now. I do Cbt, paint my nails, read books/magazines, browse MN! Someone suggested pregnancy DVDs to me yesterday on my thread which I never thought of but sounds like a good way to kill an hour. the days are much better with the little one at the age he is.
Hope that helps xx

Haha if it wasn't constant away I probably would, but I only see DP Friday evenings to Monday and that's when he's in the country.

Also after being in a DV marriage I am admittedly overly attached to DP, he is everything a man should be, he really does treat me like a princess Blush and is the exact polar opposite of my ex and has really instilled and alow me to realise what a "correct" relationship is with mutual trust and respect. I do embarrassingly adore the man Blush

Awww that's sad, I don't know if I could cope if my DP was away so much. ?? and so near the end of ur pregnancy! Will he have some decent paternity leave once bubby is here?

Depending on method of delivery 2 weeks if I have a vaginal birth, but if I end up with a EMCS they will give him 6 weeks, but I am hoping he can take some leave to add on to the 2 weeks together as he is owed some.
