DH often works 12 hour days and even if I pack him a lunch, he won't eat the entire time because he says he's too busy prepping for classes, grading papers and teaching that he doesn't have time for lunch even though he has to add in that extra unpaid half hour every day :-P So he eats maybe two meals a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-arent-around-for-dinner#post-757984 Thu, 02 May 2013 18:42:00 +0000 sera_87 757984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I left him for basically a week over Christmas.
