Do you miss your other half when you’re not with them?

For short periods like when you’re at work, but also if you were away from each other for a week?

I’ve just spent a week away from dh and didn’t miss him a jot, which shocked me! Was glad to see him when I got home don’t get me wrong but now wondering if it’s a sign of something bigger…

I do - sometimes i will text my husband during the day to let him know I miss him. It's not a horrible feeling, just wanting to be close to this person. If I have not seen him for few days I would have definitely missed him.

However, I was in a relationship where I didn't miss my partner. I once went away for a week and didn't really bother texting or calling him - at the time I thought that it was normal in a long term relationship, but no - turned out I was slowly growing fed up with him 😅

I don't miss DH during the day when he is at work but when he works away, even if only for a night, I do miss him.

We have been married 43 years and we are each other's best friend. I love spending time with him and prefer to be with him than anyone else.

When he is away we speak on the phone at least a couple of times

I don't miss my husband at all when he's away but he works away and always has done our entire relationship so I'm used to it.
