  • No more than 7 nights in a row, but I've done that probably once a year since we've been together (mostly work travel).  He's also been on a few guy's trips, but those were 3 nights or less.  I think it's healthy for a relationship to have some time away from each other-- and the homecoming is always really good!!  Wink

  • 6 weeks a couple of years ago when he had to go to San Jose for a wind tunnel test.  (Well, to be fair, I did go see him for a weekend, but that was after him being gone for 5 weeks at that point).  And it really didn't help that it was summer vacation (I'm a teacher), and I was bored silly.
  • 3 days.

     

    A few months ago I flew to CA for a funeral and stayed with my Dad and other family.  Unfortunately DH had to work so he couldn't come.

  • My H has been gone since July 1, he gets back next Thursday.  He is home for a week and then gone for 12 more days.

  • I am always with out MH for  7 days at a time. He goes to Dallas a lot for work.

    The longest we've been apart since being married was just shy of 3 months. When he had to come here for work, before we could move out. I had to wait for Chad to get out of school in MA and then get our house packed and on a truck. He came at the beginning of May and I joined him the last week of July

  • I think about 6 nights is the longest we've been apart. I flew last-minute to Pittsburgh to be with one of my best friends for her baby being born (she had her hubby, but she REALLY wanted a female friend, and her mom/sis couldn't make it cuz they live in Japan). It was an awesome experience, but I missed the helll outa H! Other than that, we've only done weekends apart. I don't sleep well without him (Like you Jenn!). It's been a number of months since we've been apart even for a night, actually... We were sposed to for our Bach parties, but the parties ended up combining so we ended the night together (which was a VERY good thing Wink)
  • Probably 4-5 nights was the longest.  He went up to visit his parents and I couldn't get off work. 

    I think it's healthy to be apart - and like Erin said, the reunions are awesome!   

     

  • I think 4-5 nights at the most. I've visited family when he couldn't get off of work and then another time he went to NY for his brother's graduation when I couldn't get off work.
  • With my old job I traveled all the time so it'd be like gone 4 nights, home 2, gone 4 again

  • We've been apart a couple times while we were dating but not at all since the wedding. And I may be taking a job for 3 weeks in California next month. We'll hate being away from each other but it's really good money and experience...rough choice.Sad
  • Right after we got married we were away from each other for a week at a time, but over a few months.  He was working away & we only saw each other on the weekends.  That was hard being a newlywed.  I felt like I hadn't even just got married kinda.

  • Isn't Pikes Peak in Colorado?

    Yah I said the wrong thing its humphrey's peak : )

  • From the title of this post, I thought you H actually left you, and my jaw dropped.

    Anywho, glad to hear that isn't the case.

    The longest I've been away from C is two nights, and it killed me.
