My husband has to move to his father's for a few months. It's outta state. He has a much better job opprotunity if he's over there. Has anyone else ever been in a situation like this and made it work?

we have 2 children together. I'm staying here because we already have a place to live. Our daughters and I are waiting until he can get settled to move.

You've been given a unique opportunity to play and communicate with your man. IM with him regularly, it is a much more intimate form of communication than face to face....Don't fight missing him, appreciate the anticipation.....Be his best friend and his partner. You both have made some very adult decisions. You want a better future. Have a healthy appreciation for this man who is moving back to his parents. That's tough. I think he must love and trust you guys very much. Distance is a rare thing in relationships. I'd enjoy the space and anticipation. Kind of like dating. Only you've already sealed the deal. Good deal.

You mean does absence make the heart go fonder for somebody else. It just according how much he loves you. It isn't to good to stay apart a long time without seeing one another. He needs to come as often as possible. just according what kind of a man you have.

I moved to a new job ahead of my wife by only a month and it nearly killed her (kids stayed back with her while I looked for a house and she sold ours).
I was definitely fonder. Had her in the new place for 5 min before I was all over her.

Yes, I have. I moved in with my parents (600 miles away) when my dad got cancer. I stayed there over a year taking care of him. My husband and I would see each other once a month. After my dad passed, I moved back home. And, I'm happy to say that 11 years later, we are still together.
During that time I was at my parents house, I missed him like crazy and I couldn't wait to see him.

Yes - my fiance' and I lived in separate states for like two years. Not fun, but we survived it.
Keep the lines of communication open, and talk as often as you can. Trust will be the biggest thing you have to deal with here. If there were any trust issues in the relationship before, this will magnify them, so you need to be able to talk.
Hopefully your husband isn't the slimeball that DavidW is.

Why aren't you just moving too?? If he is your husband why don't you go to? In life sometimes you just have to move to make your life better, in marriage when he gets a new job thats good then you just go too and get a new job. Maybe your new job will be better then the one you have now. Take the risk!

It can only work if the both of you try to make it work Don't dwell on the fact that you are apart but remember it is only for a short time and things will be back to normal soon. Remember to keep your spirits up and everything will be just fine. Keep conversation positive.

Absence does make the heart grow fonder.

No, absence doesn't make the heart grow fonder. But you can get through it with commitment and faith. Communicate, communicate, communicate, communicate and visit each other.

My husband has been away from his other wife for almost 6 years. As long as it isn't too much of an absence, I guess that is true. In my husbands case it wasn't, He is with me.
