My husband has been on straight nights, 7 days a week for 3 months now. Yes, the pay is good, and we are saving for renovations, but I really miss my honey. We have hardly seen each other, except for the 25 minutes before he goes to work when he is just waking up and tired, and for a bit in the morning when I am just getting up, and tending to our 2 year old. I really need some quality alone time with my man(if you know what I mean). I am tired of being alone every night, but I don't want to make him feel bad about working, cause he is doing it for us. This job may run for another month or so. Sometimes I almost feel like a single mom. Anyone else been through similar?

I love him , and will stand by through anything, but I do miss him so much sometimes, although if I flip it, it makes me happy that its been 6 years, and I am still in love with him like when we first met! :)

My hubby is a Marine and over the last four years we've been together about 5 months of it.. he's been to seven other countries and four different states and i've been left to just wait. He's home right now, but it definitely sucks when he's away.. Yahoo Groups got me through, along with building our website... having friends around, working, school.. stuff like that. You're awesome for staying supportive, i'm sure he misses you too and to know you will be by him no matter what, must make him feel good. Hugs!

ok, my husband got fired back in june of 2005, and refused to go find a job for 8 months (according to him b/c everyone was stupid where we live). the joker got on my nerves SO BAD. finally he gets a job....in Louisiana. 10 hours away. he is gone for 2 -3 weeks at a time. i miss him so much, but now bc of my whining i am getting the guilt trip that "i am down here making money for my family and you are giving me this crap?" well it has been since march of this year and he has not tried to look for a job closer to home. do you see where i am going with this? no there is no other woman (i promise. but i won't go into how i know that). but now b/c of all this we are pretty much on the verge of a divorce and all i want is for him to come home. now when he is home it is silence and nothing more. i miss my man, but he doesn't miss me...... like you really wanted to know all that, huh?

Yup, I'm in a similar situation. My hubby works nights as well, but hopefully not for too much longer!
I guess my best advice would be to stay busy, but cherish the time you have together and make the most of it. Try and be strong!

Yes my husband works from 3-11p.m. and it was hard to get use to. You can still make time for each other if you work on it. You only have another month to wait, so just be patient.

Maybe his next day off you should find a babysitter so the two of you can be alone together.even if it's just snugling up in bed for a while. That works for me when my husband is working all the time.

Is it at all possible to get a sitter and meet him during his lunch hour? It might seem out there but a little time alone might be the special treat you both need!

My husband works away lots...and I never see him I text message flirt with him to spice it up and when he is here I wear him out...maybe you could slip a not to tell him your going to wake him up 15 minutes early for a quickie in his lunch box...he's probably missing you also.

Just wait for the month or so to go by and then think about how wonderful your time will be with him.
