I miss my DH on Mondays

readrunraverelax · 21/07/2014 10:23

We have had a lovely weekend just the four of us and I find I am "missing" my DH today. I just feel I would rather have him around rather than at work.

I have always felt like this after spending time with him at the weekend. Of course with having 2 DC the time we spend together is limited and different now, but I am just enjoying this cosy, warm fuzzy feeling of loving my man, I suppose, and I was just wondering if anyone else feels like this on Mondays? Or am I just weird? (Or am I lucky to enjoy my time spent with my DP?!)

Smile Makes a nice change from the "My DH is an arse" threads. Congrats

CogitoErgoSometimes · 21/07/2014 10:30

Are you bored?

Trooperslane · 21/07/2014 10:30

I told mine that this morning too.

Then dd cried when he left. Hmm

He's my superstar. Smile

trooper I am not the only one then! Lots of friends complain about their DPs, you see.

It would be pretty sad if you were lucky to enjoy spending time with your DP. I'm sure that's the norm. The Relationships board isn't representative of all relationships. Remember people usually come on here when they need advice, so it's not usually good.

I'd love to quit work and spend all my time rolling around in bed with my BF Grin

maras2 · 21/07/2014 11:20

How lovely.I used to feel like this too.Now we're retired so no more Monday morning misery. :)

notamonkeysuncle · 21/07/2014 11:28

I get this too. Monday is the one day I get up before he leaves (5.30) and make his lunch rather than him bringing me a cup of tea and a kiss when he leaves.
Its nice to miss them and he misses us too on Mondays especially

TerrariaMum · 21/07/2014 13:21

I feel like this every Monday. It's nice on the weekends just to know he's around somewhere.

You're not weird at all.

Mintyy · 21/07/2014 13:23

I think that's rather lovely Smile

BitOutOfPractice · 21/07/2014 13:25

Aww! I just texted my BF to tell him I miss him!

Trooperslane · 21/07/2014 14:08

Mine's a pain in the arse when he wants to be as am I but overall he's a wee smasher.

Has been requesting pics of dd all day and phones us every lunchtime to see how we are.

We meet him for a cheap and cheerful lunch near his work on a Friday too. It's brilliant.

BitOutOfPractice · 21/07/2014 14:13

And he misses me right back - which is no surprise as I am fabulous!

MrsCakesPremonition · 21/07/2014 14:25

When we've had an especially nice weekend, I miss him once he's left the house. However the hour he spends faffing about, squirting deodorant around and and telling me vital last minute stuff (like how to defrost the chicken..??) are a chore that we both just need to endure.

APotNoodleandaTommy · 21/07/2014 14:33

are you bored?

Hmm

Always one...

That's lovely, OP :)

LastOneDancing · 21/07/2014 14:40

Oh yes MrsCake - the faffing & squirting! It's a toss up between giving my DH a kiss goodbye or a Chinese burn some mornings.

But then I miss him.

readrunraverelax · 21/07/2014 14:47

lastone that is so funny, had forgotten about those. You are right, sometimes I would rather see the back of him, as living when anyone makes them annoying at times, I am just feeling a bit loved up today!

potnoodle I also thought the bored comment was sad!

I think some people have become so bitter that they cannot allow other people to be happy without trying to ruin it, or analyse it to death.
I think hearing about happiness and warmth can really help people less happy to realise that genuine love and happiness is possible and worth having

BolshierAyraStark · 21/07/2014 14:59

This is really sweet.

I quite miss DH on Mondays though I'm not sure if this is more to do with having to deal with the DC on my own again...

StrawberryCheese · 21/07/2014 19:43

I always miss DH when he is working and I'm not, (we both work shifts so don't get weekends as such) I tend to feel a bit lost. He kisses me goodbye and tells me he loves me every morning, even when he is leaving at 5.45am and I'm not completely conscious! He is going away for two weeks on Thursday for work. He does this every year and will only manage to speak to me perhaps once or twice in that time. I'm dreading it :(

heyday · 21/07/2014 20:16

Ah, that's lovely. Long may it last.
Don't forget to tell him how you feel and hopefully he missed you today after your special weekend together.
So nice to get a positive post for a change.

TheScottishPlay · 21/07/2014 20:31

I'm missing my DH today too.
It's our 13th wedding anniversary today and he's gone back to work after 2 weeks annual leave. He should be back any minute now though.Smile

grumpasaur · 21/07/2014 23:20

What a nice threadGrin

I often miss my husband when I am home and he is at work / out, or vice versa. Even when I am busy sometimes, I miss his sweet face and cuddles!

Corny I know, but he is just so good to me / for me / with me, I can't help but miss him sometimes!

Other times, naturally, I want to send him somewhere far far away to escape his loud eating (seriously- what IS that?), constant talk about recipes he will never actually make or exercise he will never do, obsession with shaving (he is even on a forum), and unreasonable demands for attention.

Swings and roundabouts, eh?

readrunraverelax · 24/07/2014 19:01

That is hilarious, a forum all about shaving!!!
