Watch the news channel and sing to the baby

JohnnyMcGrathSaysFuckOff · 09/09/2019 23:28

Same as what I "get up to" when he's in Hmm

AcrossthePond55 · 09/09/2019 23:55

DH is camping. What I'm getting up to is: bingeing shows he has no interest in, eating crap instead of cooking 'proper' food, listening to jazz, and napping. Especially napping.

DramaAlpaca · 09/09/2019 23:57

I make myself cauliflower cheese for dinner because he detests it.

AutumnCrow · 09/09/2019 23:59

I come up with new and exciting ways to spell hubbi

Lemonsaretheonlyfruit · 10/09/2019 00:00

Mine has been out for ten years so far. The first couple were a struggle but the last 8 have been great!

Same as you I suppose. Drinking wine, watching what I want on TV, eating what I want and living my life with the DCs how I want to. It's tough and there are downsides but overall I love it. I'm glad he's been out all these years Wink

Bigearringsbigsmile · 10/09/2019 00:01

my dh is away every single week . We only see each other at weekends basically.
i go to work, run the house, look after our teenagers and get fed up of being alone .

I powerwatch 90 Day Fiancé or Orange is the New Black, eat nachos or white bread and jam for supper, and if I'm in the mood, put in a booty call to my lover.

+Tweeze my chin hairs
+Dig out my ingrown hairs
+Masturbate
+Order a big takeaway and pig out happily knowing I don’t have to share 😈

FuriousVexation · 10/09/2019 04:45

I try to come up with ever increasingly twee terms for "husband".

EG
Hubby
Hubbibobs
Hubbypants
Hubbitywubbity
Hubbabubba
Schnookywooky

Then I give myself a proper shake and just get on with my normal activities.

AnyFucker · 10/09/2019 04:51

marblesgoing · 10/09/2019 07:44

Watch the shows I like on tv

Have a long hot bath

Eat tapas and snacks food for tea not cooked

Trooperslaneagain · 10/09/2019 07:45

"hubby"
Boke.

Oysterbabe · 10/09/2019 07:46

Cook prawn and mushroom curry, he hates both. Watch TV programmes he hates.

6demandingchildren · 10/09/2019 07:48

Last time dh went out for his friend's birthday I went to the casino and won, he got very drunk as he was upset as he wanted to come with me and the girls.

Whattodo20192 · 10/09/2019 08:01

Watch stuff on tv that I couldn't make him sit through. At the minute it's working moms and dirty dancing

RosieCockle · 10/09/2019 08:01

I have a tray of Yorkshire puddings with gravy for dinner.

BoredMouse · 10/09/2019 08:04

Watch tv. Look at Mumsnet. Drink wine. Message friends

BertrandRussell · 10/09/2019 08:09

I find it pretty depressing that people feel they can’t “get up to” perfectly normal things like having a long bath when their husband is in.........

Reallybadidea · 10/09/2019 08:13

Mostly I just sit and pine and watch the front door until he comes home again ❤️

perpetuallyperplexedbylife · 10/09/2019 08:14

Husband was out last night for the first time in ages, so I had rare steak for dinner - he hates it so I never usually cook it.

billydilly · 10/09/2019 08:17

Sit on the doormat howling until I hear my masters footsteps

Sadiesnakes · 10/09/2019 08:20

Lol with all the nethuns 🤣

CherryPavlova · 10/09/2019 08:27

What BertrandRussell said.
I don’t have a ‘hubby’ and don’t ‘get up to’ anything.

If my husband is working away I do extraordinarily exciting things like walk the dog, drink tea and emptying the dishwasher. Sometimes I have beans on toast for supper because he is dismissive of the simple joy of beans on toast.
