Partner works away!

[NatJayne87]

Hi all, I really just wanted somewhere to talk to other women where their partner works away. My partner is a transport worker and so can be away for the full week, so its not that extended and i was fortunate enough to have him back last night as the job he was on brought him home. However he has gone again today and may not be back until late saturday and im really struggling with this. I will be working a 15 hour shift Sunday so im not going to get to see him much over the weekend then he will be back out to work Monday. I feel a bit lonely at the moment and obviously with corona going on im generally just stuck here alone with the dog. I definitely wasnt ready for him to leave this morning so just needing some moral support really. I am also a huge over thinker and think some stupid things like hes cheating when away (hes not) but then i get myself all in a tizz and just end up crying, at the moment though i just miss him 😔 xx

Same. Mine works away sometimes three weeks at a time. It's incredibly difficult as I've also just moved in with him so no family and friends around (not that I'd be allowed to see them at the moment anyway)
I envy ya having a dog ! But we're thinking of moving so won't get one yet)
No advice just saying I know how u feel .

Oh and I also understand the overthinking thing. But I get paranoid if he goes to the shops ! So that's a whole different topic 🤦‍♀️😉

Aww thanks. It can be hard some days more than others. I dont know how i would cope if my OH was away for weeks at a time, how are you managing? Im trying to think of things to keep me busy but its starting to get real boring so i usually take a lot of afternoon naps! Lol

Netflix Netflix Netflix 😂😉

@Meopop0130, you get paranoid when he goes to the shop? That's quite extreme, has he given you any reason to feel like that?

Bless you, he'll soon be home again. He probably doesn't like it any more than you, I know my husband hated it. I actually didn't mind, I enjoyed having the place to myself for a few days/nights here and there but that's me. I wouldn't have liked it had I been stuck at home alone with young children!

Perhaps when the current crisis is over and things more stable, you and he can have a talk and think about him looking for another job that doesn't involve him being away so much.
