DH can't come on holiday - WARNING wet alert

4 replies

holsalone · 07/08/2006 11:42

We're booked to go away for a week in Sept with my sister, BIL, niece, mum and stepdad. Dh has realised that he can't come because of work commitments. It will be me and dd with the rest of the crowd. Sounds pathetic I know, but I don't know how I will manage without him for a week. I don't mean practicalities - I just mean missing him. We have only spent 2 nights apart since we moved in together and even one day without him is a bit crap - & he feels the same. We've been together for 3 years, BTW, and our relationship has always been a bit intense. I'm also worried about how dd will cope without her dad - they are so close. Does anyone else have this OTT attachment to their other half? Any suggestions on how to get through it? Don't tell me I am being a saddo - I already know it!

no real adivce. but sweet you still feel this way about each other.......that feeling left us a long time ago!!!! LOL.

im sure youll be so busy that you wont be thinknig of him 24/7 and your DD will only be affected as much as you let on i think.......she must manage when he's at work. and itll make the 'reunion' even more fun for all of you!

Think it's lovely that you feel that way, I hate it when dh goes away with work but he always talks to the boys in the morning and at bedtime and we are sad and text each other. The longest he's been away is2wks and that sounded like forever but wasn't as bad as I expected, at least on holiday you will be busy and your dd will be distracted by all of the other people around.

Not sure I've been helpfull but you are not a saddo or if you are I'm one too cos I understand how you feel and even tho I'm used to him going away not sure how I'd cope with a holiday without him.

At least you will be able to look forward to coming home and enjoy the reunion as carlyp says

Aw, thanks both for your comments. I have already thought about the reunion I have to confess

On reflection, the week will be busy and fun and we will be texting and phoning a lot anyway - but it's anticipating it that's the worst bit - you do turn it into something dreadful in your head.
