We lived in different cities the first 6 months we were married. Since we've been under one roof, he travels for work maybe once a month and sometimes I visit girlfriends by myself. I don't mind what we have right now. Living apart was tough though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-nights-have-you-spent-away-from-your-dh/page/2#post-888969 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 11:22:49 +0000 regberadaisy 888969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not counting the year I moved back to NYC probably 4 nights? One was his bachelor weekend and the other was when he went to watch the Masters. I was too pregnant to fly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-nights-have-you-spent-away-from-your-dh/page/2#post-888964 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 11:22:03 +0000 Ra 888964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A lot. DH is away a week a month every month for work. He also goes on a week-long "boys only" vacation every year. We also usually have at least one bachelor/bachelorette party weekend a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-nights-have-you-spent-away-from-your-dh/page/2#post-888955 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 11:20:35 +0000 SupernovaJ 888955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i remember watching on TV that ice-T and coco have also only spent a handful of nights apart from each other in their relationship. they can be so wacky but totally cute.</p> <p>we've spent a decent amount of time apart due to work. husband does frequent domestic trips (1-2 days), whereas i travel a lot overseas - sometimes 10-12 days at a time, several times a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-nights-have-you-spent-away-from-your-dh/page/2#post-888897 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 11:13:08 +0000 HLK208 888897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So many.

He travels twice a year for work and he usually does one trip on his own and one with me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-nights-have-you-spent-away-from-your-dh/page/2#post-888472 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 10:06:15 +0000 TheReelDeal 888472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About a handful. We are that couple that spends every moment together, and we've been that way since we met. We don't enjoy spending time away from each other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-nights-have-you-spent-away-from-your-dh/page/2#post-888411 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 09:55:49 +0000 pui 888411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3. Twice a year he goes on a camping trip with his buddies for 4 days.</p> <p>Before we were married a lot more than that since I lived in Quebec and he lived 6 hours away in Ontario. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-nights-have-you-spent-away-from-your-dh#post-888403 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 09:54:11 +0000 jhd 888403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we lived an hour apart while dating and engaged so we only saw each other a few times a week. since we got married 3 years ago we've probably spent less than 10 nights apart total. he has to travel for work soon &amp; i'm hoping it will happen before school starts back so i can go with him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-nights-have-you-spent-away-from-your-dh#post-888090 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 09:12:49 +0000 Turd Ferguson 888090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man, a whole bunch. He travels between 80-90% for work, so his schedule is crazy! There have been times where he's done a full 3 weeks on the road, but usually it's about 5-7 days gone at a time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-nights-have-you-spent-away-from-your-dh#post-888078 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 09:11:44 +0000 Ash 888078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe twice when I've had to work a night shift or sleep at work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-nights-have-you-spent-away-from-your-dh#post-888048 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 09:07:58 +0000 Honeybee 888048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sincep we got married 4+ years ago, we've only been apart maybe 8 days total.

It's alll good though. We're happier than ever :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-nights-have-you-spent-away-from-your-dh#post-887877 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 08:42:54 +0000 Mrs. Pen 887877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There was one time he was gone a week... And then last summer gone for the weekend. But that's it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-nights-have-you-spent-away-from-your-dh#post-887867 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 08:38:26 +0000 Springtime 887867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not that many at all. Probably around 5-7. I hate being away from him at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-nights-have-you-spent-away-from-your-dh#post-887862 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 08:36:40 +0000 Alivoo01 887862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fortunately, not too many since we've been married. When I was a consultant and he was training to open up the shop, we spent numerous nights apart, but that was when we were dating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-nights-have-you-spent-away-from-your-dh#post-887602 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 06:50:14 +0000 mediagirl 887602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tons! We started dating long distance and I used to travel for work all the time. I would be gone 2-3 weeks out of the month. It was really tough. I have NEVER been home without him being at home, though. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-nights-have-you-spent-away-from-your-dh#post-887601 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 06:49:27 +0000 heffalump 887601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not many. He rarely has to travel for work, I think he's only done it once or twice. He has had two separate weeks where he had to stay in the hospital though. The first time I had to be home at night to take care of the dog and the second time I had a baby and dog so I couldn't stay with him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-nights-have-you-spent-away-from-your-dh#post-887592 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 06:40:24 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 887592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Quite a few. He used to work night shift and we have traveled without each other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-nights-have-you-spent-away-from-your-dh#post-887589 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 06:37:06 +0000 Dandelion 887589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since getting married, just 10 days last summer...we were both miserable. I was visiting family in NY and newly pregnant and just wanted to be home with DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-nights-have-you-spent-away-from-your-dh#post-887574 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 06:02:29 +0000 avivoca 887574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hundreds. He travels for 10-12 weeks every summer for work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-nights-have-you-spent-away-from-your-dh#post-887572 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 05:58:46 +0000 MrsTiz 887572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I dated for 2.5 years before getting married and saw each other literally everyday except for 3 days when I had to go on a trip for my moms birthday. Since living together we've spent only one night separately which was the night before our wedding </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-nights-have-you-spent-away-from-your-dh#post-887558 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 04:56:08 +0000 SugarplumsMom 887558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not too many. He used to travel for work a lot pre-baby, but had been prompted a few times so he was able to send people instead. Now he works for a different company where travel isn't so common. I really hope it stays that way! </p>
