I cry whenenver my husband has to leave for work?

Question

I'm fine until he is walking out the door, then I start crying. He says I'm being silly. It's not that I think he won't come back or whatever, I just feel so sad to be seeing him go. I love him so much and we have such a good time when we are together but it hurts me to see him leave. We are newlyweds, just married about 6 months. Is this a normal newlywed thing? Will it get better? Why do I get so sad when he has to leave? I try to keep myself busy while he's gone with tasks, and my own job, but I leave after he does and it's always so hard to see him walk out the door first! Am I nuts? LOL

2u, I do work, and if you had read the question all the way through you would have read that. I think you're the ***.

Answer 1

You need to research co-dependency and make sure you don't have it. It will destroy your relationship in the long run if you don't have your own interests and goals.

Answer 2

You're not nuts. I cry if I have to be away from my guy overnight. You're right, it's silly, but that's okay. Maybe you could leave first? Go out to the gym or meet a girlfriend for coffee, then look forward to the empty house when you're gone. My guy and I have been together for 3 1/2 years, and I'm just now getting to the point where sometimes I like an hour or two alone to get housework done or read my book. I love him and our time together, it's just nice to get stuff done. Be glad that you're so in love, and enjoy your time together.

Answer 3

It's a little unusual. Unless when he leaves he is gone for days, weeks, or months at a time. I'm newlywed; I get lonely when my husband is gone, but I don't get that emotional. I would suggest something to keep you busy like a pet. I have 2 cats that keep me pretty occupied when I'm otherwise alone.

Answer 4

You're not nuts at all. However, that's not a fun thing to live with. You may want to explore whether there's anything in your past that would lead to "abandonment issues" - divorce, deadbeat dad, death of someone you cared about at an impressionable age. Anything of that nature. If there's a background there effecting your behavior now, dealing with it will give you more happiness in the present.

Answer 5

I think coz youre so close to him and that you enjoy spending time with him, thats what makes u miss him so much. You are not nuts to feel this way. You love your husband and true love like that is hard to find. Just call him during the day and tell him u miss him. Im sure he misses u too when he's at work. It's normal.

Answer 6

Trust me honey in a few years you will be glad to see him off to work...lol....But for now can you leave for work first and maybe run errands to make your early leave productive? Its great that you love him that much and I dont think you are nuts. God bless and good luck!

Answer 7

No your not nuts, it gets better the longer you are married, but after 44 years I still miss my wife when she goes to work the mall etc.any where that she is gone over a couple of hours without me.

Answer 8

Your not nuts at all..Maybe to help yourself you could walk him to the car and look forward to when your both get home from work.. You will in time get better at this..I bet he misses you as well and looks forward to coming home to you after you both get out of work ; )

Answer 9

You aren't nuts - I think it's sweet. I've been married over 12 years and i don't like my husband having to work - I love him and would love for him to be with me all day - we have so much fun together.

Answer 10

It's wierd, but I can remember my wife being the same way when we first got married. Been married almost 15 years now.
