Kathyw Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 This is not Steve walking out on you - he has gone to be kids again with other big kids. Personally I would love time on my own but I can understand how you feel as I have felt that way sometimes myself. You can spend all the time you like on here, cook whatever you like, don't cook if you don't want to. I am sure peeps will be on later with lots of ideas. I would say try and enjoy it - lonliness is a state of mind - you can be lonely in a room full of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzumit Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 you can be lonely in a room full of people. Never truer words than that. Cocoa you could come on here and chat, do things you can't/don't do when he is there. Pamper yourself, take long baths let the kids stay up later at the weekend and have a pyjama party with them, build a den so you can all have midnight snacks in secret. Not much help I know, but try not to think about it too much a week will soon go by - in the meantime you could plan a special welcome home meal. By the way how lucky is he to have a TR4 (I should have put this in the dream thread as I would love one) I hated being on my own when OH worked nights for a couple of months so I do sympathise with you, but The Refuge was a good place to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooandboo Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 OH has worked away Mon-Fri for 7 years now but I thrive on having time to myself so it isn't a problem. I do all the things I can't do easily when he and Ceri are home - draw, paint, read, watch what I want on TV and eat the food I like Ooh and a glass of wine without OH snoring away on the sofa is bliss Try to line up lots of stuff that you love doing but never seem to get time to do and spoil yourself with goodies of your choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yena Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 When OH goes fishing for the day, I think I'll do this, I'll do that. End up doing none of it and just sitting with the dogs all day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barb Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 My OH is away this week as well, he has gone to the air show at Fairford and I am loving every minute of the peace. Holly and I do what we want when we want. Only me to cook for so I eat when I'm hungry. Lovey. Barbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
