Bummed about DH leaving

No, not that kind of leaving (I just realized when writing it that it sounded like 'leaving me') but leaving for the weekend. He's up to PA for a family reunion, I'm stuck down here. Normally I wouldn't care, free weekend to myself, but something just seems weird about it. I guess because we just got married a few weeks ago and it's our first time apart since then. With the wedding and honeymoon, we couldn't afford for both of us to go.

Plus I'm a big baby when it comes to planes so I'm sitting here at work worried over his flights. I hate flying. But, my aunt invited me to Animal Kingdom tomorrow with her pass so that'll keep me occupied for sure! I guess there is an upside to being without DH for a few days.

Re: Bummed about DH leaving

  • I think that's sweet that you feel "different" about him leaving this time.  It's hard to imagine me feeling that way about FI right about now - in my head I'm like, "Isn't there some place you can go?" lol
  • Oh there are plenty of times when I want him to go the hell away and give me some peace (his damn video games are enough to make me want to toss the TV sometimes). But I don't know, it just feels odd that he's going up there. At the same time, it gives me a strange little thrill knowing that he now has a shiny new ring to tell all the single girls out there that this man's taken.
  • I thought you meant leaving (permanently) at first, and I was thinking, hm, she's just bummed?  Glad all is well.  I don't sleep very well when FI is out of town so I can relate.
  • Yeah it's hard for me to sleep too. Our house is old and creepy, makes lots of weird noises. And we're in the woods so of course I imagine all sorts of horror scenes every time I hear something on the deck (usually one of the dozens of raccoons or stray cats running around). Man, I'm kind of a wimp I guess.
  • Yeah I'll join you in the horror.  My dog will suddenly growl for no reason while the house is **dead**quiet.  It's then that a realize that I have the imagination of a 10 year old.

    It doesn't help that my yard is kind of like Jurassic Park, all big trees, without a neighbour in sight.  Eeep.
  • I know how hard it must be without him around. I haven't seen FI since feb 26th and still wont for another few weeks. We talk on the phone contastly, but it's not the same.
