Most days we're both so incredibly busy that there's no time to realize it. We had a really great date night last weekend and it made me realize just how much I missed him and spending QT together! (Or even just time together.)
-
All. The. Time. The other day we both worked from home while the girls were at daycare, and it felt so good just to have the two of us together. I really miss it.
-
I'm probably a clingy wife.... Anytime I'm not right there with him I miss him.
-
I miss DH so much. We are always with LO, so it is hard to have a chance to talk and she isn't into sleeping, so it is late by the time she does go to sleep...
-
day to day? Nope, I feel like I am too busy to be honest
But then we will both sit on the couch and hold hands/snuggle while watching TV and then it hits me how much I truly do miss him!
-
Yes, all the time... we're always so focused on LO these days, we don't focus on each other
-
Yep! Sometimes I miss him when he's in the other room!
-
We both work from home every day so nope lol
He was away two weeks ago for four days and I thought I'd miss him, but it was nice having the house to myself. I got so much done! He's awesome but I love having my social/alone time.
-
Yes, so much. I SAH with our ten month old twins and when DH walks in the door I'm like hallelujah! It's really nice when the kids go to sleep and we just sit on the couch and talk about our days.
-
Yes, so much! With a 3 mo old, and us both working, there seems to be zero time for anything! Even if we get to eat dinner together, we're doing it in a hurry... And some nights if we're REALLY lucky, we get to watch a tv show or 2 together, or even cuddle for a while in bed and talk, but that's rare!
-
Right now yes, he's going through a "holy cow i'm about to be a dad of 2" thing right now, and he's a little stressed. I miss my fun-loving, easy going husband. I'm supposed to be the high strung one not him, i'm hoping a date night on Saturday will ease his mind a little!
-
I don't get a chance to miss him because he's always there!
-
Yes. The days he WAH I don't, because he is right there and we talk throughout the day...but when he's in the office I look forward to him getting home and spending the evening together
-
@Cherrybee: right?
We're both pretty independent people, always have been. I love our time together and our family time together but we enjoy our time alone too.
-
Yes! There are some weeks where he works late all week long so we see each other half an hour a day. There's really no time to connect in that short of a period.
-
Yes. Or, more like I miss "us".
-
Not really because we get to spend time together. Neither of us has a particularly demanding work schedule and he doesn't travel for work very much. On the rare occasion he does though, I miss the heck out of him.
-
@Cherrybee: haha this
-
yes. a lot. by time he gets home A is usually asleep and we eat and then i'm ready for bed. and since we moved there has been a lot of work to do to our house so even on weekends he's busy doing projects for the house. sigh.. need more date nights..
-
All the time here too. We both work full time, and nights are focused on LO. We haven't had a date night in a while, and his parents watched LO while we ran errands the other day. It was nice just to be able to hold his hand while we're walking in a store. I miss the little stuff like that!
-
Yes he works a bazillion hours. The little time we see each other is usually family time so it's hard to talk.
-
Yeah, we go through stages. We have been sick a lot this winter and it meant we were often quarantined or just not hanging out much. Being tired, exhausted, and/or sick makes us feel like ships passing in the night. And i feel like my threshold is high after his life in the military! But it happens
-
Yes!!!!! We really enjoy each other and with a new baby and him back to work, I miss him a lot, he is a huge help and we'll my best company!!!
-
Yes, even when we actually get to spend time together it doesn't feel the same. I miss the "old" him and the old us too, I guess.
-
Other than having a baby, our overall schedules haven't changed much. I do think I'd like a date night every now and then, and more intimacy, but unless I'm thinking about it, I don't feel like something is missing.
-
I miss him so much. He works late several times a week, when he is home he is kind of just in relax zone. I'm pregnant and taking care of a toddler so I'm usually pretty tired. He goes to bed around 8 or 830 which is usually when I'm just finishing kitchen clean up so he's asleep once I get to bed. He sits in his recliner,I sit in the couch
He isn't much of a talker to begin with so you throw in being tired or not being around and we don't talk much. I adore him so much and miss him desperately. One day it will be easier to connect. -
Yeah, I totally miss just the one on one quality time that can be hard to find when you have a very chatty three year old. We try to get some time together each night, but it's hard when I'm pregnant and tired.
-
Um... yes. Even though we're together constantly - we spend every evening and all weekends together, and we do a fair amount of online chatting while we're at work. Sometimes I tell him I missed him when he gets back from like a 20-minute grocery run and he gives me the "you are definitely insane" look. We are also pretty independent at the same time, though, and I do enjoy doing things without him, and encourage him to do the same.
-
no, unless she is out of town (~5 times a year for work).
-
Yes! He is gone most weeks. It is really hard.
-
Not really. I love him but I enjoy my space.
-
I'm a misser! I work nightshift 3 nights a week, usually in a row so there can be a good chunk of the week we are lucky if we see each other in passing so I always get bummed going into work. Now that I am on maternity leave and home I get bored and can't wait for him to get home from work.
-
I was just thinking today how we really need to reconnect. We have 2 kids and both work long hours and it's just hard to devote time to each other daily. We no longer have alone time at night because our oldest started protesting going to bed and the only way to get him to sleep is to go with him in our bed! We used to transfer him into his bed after he fell asleep but that no longer works so now he is in our bed every night.
But I tell myself that the days are long but the years are short with kids and we will have adult time when our kids are older. The good thing is we both are on the same page that right now our kids need us first and they are our priority.
-
Yes. We have no time for "us" these days, its making me feel lonely. I am hoping it is just temporary and we will have us time again soon.
-
I've been thinking about this a lot lately! I feel like most of the time I treat him as my co-parent and/or roommate. Before baby we couldn't spend ENOUGH time together. Now it's "Did you check on T before you came to bed? Ok, goodnight."
I miss how we treated each other in the dating stage a lot.
-
We are together a lot because he WAH and I SAH, but sometimes I really do miss him. We don't often spend quality time together. And LO likes to stay up later so we rarely get time together after he goes to bed.
-
Nope. We commute together so we have 2+ hours of bonding time every day.
-
@mrsjyw: I miss him almost every day. I know... CHEESE, but it's true. There's a couple nights a week that are his 'late nights'. After 12+ hours of not seeing him I'm excited to see him.
