Originally Posted By Pixie Glitter While I would prefer Mr. Glitter to be here, it's not a big deal when he's gone. I think that's because for the first many years of our marriage, he worked jobs with varying shifts that often had him gone basically all night (getting home at 4 or 5 a.m.). I've never been afraid to be home alone. It always amazes me how many women say they can't sleep when their husband is not home. That must be really hard.
Originally Posted By ajnhollysmommy I sleep in the living room when my husband goes out of town. I hear the coyotes all night if I sleep in our room and I always let the dogs sleep upstairs with me.
Originally Posted By sarahwithbaloo Dave is out of town alot it has been like that since we first got togetherbut I stillhave problems going to sleep (its just the initial drifting off) it's notthatI do'nt feel safe or anything it is just that he is not there.
Originally Posted By smedley I'm back, it's not that I'm scared, there's no fear, and absurdly, during the week when I was working nights, sleeping during the day was no problem at all, because he's not normally there anyway. I guess I'm just used to his company. I'd like to be able to go the dog route, but I'm not home enough, and to be honest DH isn't away that often, I think that's the problem. DVC I am about to punt you an email, with details of Pete's mobile number and his hotel, apparently he can't work the local phones (I am not asking) but yes it could have been him yesterday afternoon, he did say he tried then. Thanks for the chatting by the way, and the giggles TDG, all helps the fact that I managed about 5 hrs sleep last night..... Same time, same place tonight?
Originally Posted By teddibubbles I have stuffed animals. they are mine not my grandgirl Viviens.. so if Hubby is gone. I pile all of them in the bed with me!. AND I have found that if you bunch up his blanket ( so it looks like he is laying next to you) like with the pellow in it. it helps as you are asleep not to feel empty space. and if you get up to use restroom you dont NOTE that side of the bed is empty.
Originally Posted By bloona just seen this Marie, hope you sleep better tonight. Mr Bloona is in the spare bed cos its firmer and he has a bad back /shoulder at the moment. I play my music until Im really tired and relaxed at the side of the bed. Try that....nice soothing music though!
