S/O: What's the longest you've been away from DH?
We lived apart when we first started dating, traveling from Chicago to Milwaukee or Chicago to Lafayette, IN (for almost 2 years, seeing each other on the weekends), but since we've been married, 10 days.

Re: S/O: What's the longest you've been away from DH?
in a row? 5-7 days, probably.
when we were engaged and the first year we were married, he was traveling 3-4 days a week, 3-4 weeks a month. so, while not long stretches, it felt long because it added up.
my ex and i were long distance, so we'd go a month or more without seeing each other. that sucked, and ultimately did our relationship in. well, that and wanting different things in life...
Since we've been married, in the 10 days - 2.5 week range.
When we were dating, I did two summer internships that were in different states from where we were living - he visited once each summer, but otherwise the whole summer.
Three months with a short visit (like 1-2 days) or two.
It sucked ass, but he sent me Hallmark cards every week. Awwww barf.
I love mail.
7 months.
It has only been 3 months though since I've seen him (goodness I can't believe I'm even saying only 3 months)
*sigh* I miss him (sorry)
While we were dating since he joined the Peace Corps and moved overseas. I quit my job and moved there too after five months.
And I'm leaving for tomorrow for two and a half weeks for a work trip. As excited as I am, I'm going to miss the crap out of him.
Never more than a weekend.
Now a week.
I have no idea really, a week or two during college.
5 days since we graduated.
Daycare is SO exhausting!

Confession: I bought him a card to open every other day while I'm gone.
I am a dork.
Nepal.
1 month - but there was a weekend visit in the middle
He had to go to a 1 month long course for work right around when Natalie was turning 1 year old.
I would love to know what you do. You seem to get to see the world that way. But, I won't pry.
I need to get around more. See more places.
While we were married?
Well, in a row, almost two months. But we lived apart for almost 3 years, when I while I lived in Seattle and he wrapped up his post doc in Madison. He'd "visit" me every other month or so.
Jalapeno - I did when I lived in Bulgaria, but I haven't for a long time. I'm willing to PM the link to you because I trust you if you're interested.
scotty - I also trust you. Will PM you more details.
Since we've been married? Probably 10 days. He's probably going to be gone for 6 weeks next summer and it's going to suck. He's going to be off some random island off the Marshall Islands, so I won't be able to talk to him much at all during that time.
We did long distances for 2.5 years before we got married, so I'm okay with him not being around for a bit as long as I can talk to him. Last week I saw him Monday morning and didn't see him again until Friday night.
When we were studying abroad (same time, different places) I think we went 4-6 weeks without seeing each other. Since we've been married- overnight, but we've been married less than 6 months.
