Am I being ridiculous?

[ARR14]

DP is working away this week with apparently barely any Wi-Fi/signal (works in events and is somewhere rural so this is probably the case…) I’ve had one msg each day but am finding myself feeling really irritated by the whole thing. I obviously miss him and know it’s work but work which also has a fun/party atmosphere….why am I being so bitter about it?! When he returns next week I feel like I’m not going to want him anywhere near me and i know that’s not fair because it’s not like he’s done anything wrong!
I’m surprised it’s affecting me this way as I thought I was more independent than this! I’ve been busy with my own friends etc but am also managing house, work, kids etc maybe I’m resenting this? Anyone get this way if their partner works away?

Can you be more specific about what it is that's bothering you? Is it him not being at home to take the kids out, is it him partying, or partying without you? Is it that you don't like the effect his colleagues have on him, or that you think he'll indulge in his drinking habit? Is there a woman/women there and you feel jealous?

I think there’s probably some jealousy/insecurity there 😞
he’s working it with a ‘friend’ he used to have a bit of a crush on before we met and although there’s no reason for me not to trust him part of me I think im resenting the shared experience they will have while I’m stuck in the mundane day to day s*

he and this friend have not been in regular contact on a personal level that I’m aware of but do see each other on jobs

My husband works away for months at a time, no I don't get like this. It's a week. What are you annoyed about exactly?

Are they his children? Did he have this job when you met?

I don’t think it’s the working away, it’s the friend !

Try not to think about it, and certainly don’t let him know.

absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Thank you, yeah it probably is more to do with the friend. Ultimately I have no control over what May or may not happen so you’re right I need to let it go!
