What if his work doesn't allow him to come home every evening? And if you don't have children...don't you feel alone? I do...

My husband travels.......A LOT! On avg he's gone 150-200 nights a year. And yes I would be lonely, but we have 4 children. Although I miss him when I crawl into bed at night, up until then I am too busy picking up the kids after work, making dinner, cleaning, laundry, making sure all the kids get a bath, homework, and then getting them all to bed. They are 13,10,4,1. So I don't have time to think about it. I don't suggest having children just to have something to do. If you both want children than I would discuss trying to start your family. But don't be surprised if he says he's gone too much and doesn't want to have them right now b/c he's gone so much and doesn't want to miss out. You just need to talk. If you decide to start a family......than good luck. If not, than find something that you are interested in to devote your attention to when he's not around. I hope this helped somewhat!

Does his job make him a bad husband, no. You being lonely a serious problem, maybe. Now if he chooses to be away all the time then I would say that you need to talk with him. But if it is the nature of his job, then you have to live with it. You have to find ways to get that time and quite frankly he should to. He may need to take of sick to come home and take care of momma if you know what I am saying...LOL. If he has the type of job that you can meet for lunch, do it. Make sure that your priorities are the same as far as spending time. What I mean is if his career is taking off and he is caught up in that, then you need to follow his dream. Likewise if he knows that he leaves you alone, he has to find that something extra when you all are together. My point is don't let loneliness ruin your marriage.
Sorry ladies, just had to add my two cents.

His work should allow him to come home every evening. Get a dog.

Find something constructive to do!!! Learn to sew, have a books-you-want-to-read list - something to take your mind off of his absence and teach yourself something interesting. If he is gone on a consistent night (or even if he's not) take an extra credit class at your local CC, or volunteer somewhere.
I LOVE it when my husband has something else to do in the evening because I have so many things I want to do.

On an average, 24 hrs a week. And yes I feel alone. But it is his job that is demanding. I don't complain. I find stuff to do to keep my mind busy. ( re-arrange the closets, fridge, and cabinets) Email my brother, call my sister.

My husband and I spend alot of time together......If he works in the evenings, I'm usually just relaxing watching tv, or trying to get some cleaning done.....

Me and my fiance are together 24/7. I wouldn't have it any other way. It hasn't always been like this, we worked really hard for a long time to be able to work together and we are so happy.
