How do you gals do it? I wanna throw this question to you.
To be separated from loved ones and as carol had said a "weekend marriage."
Gone is the time when husbands and wives have the luxury of seeing each other 24 hours a day (this would mean that they would be working in the paddy fields or something like that). Well of course that is just my imagintion and of course couples do see each other often now also. But for some of us, the feeling is like now you see me, now you don't.
Now us girls have to be independent to change the blown up fuse, mow the lawn, wash the car, practically everything that a man should be doing in the house. I am not complaining. This is my house, so it is also my responsibility. But the agony of sleeping and waking up alone every single day.. Sigh..

i'm into my 3rd year of weekend marriage Ed. The feeling of being alone is always there.The first 2 years was bad. This year, it improved a little since i'm all busy with school works.
Still, i count my blessings for still being able to see him every week compared to those whose husbands work away for months (or perhaps years).
I believe the time will come when family should stick as family. Only God knows when.

As I am always traveling out of the country, here's what my wife says:
It's not easy and you just got to live with it. At the same time, enjoy your time when you are together :D
thank you guys..i feel much better reading this. ha..hubby is working now,whole day,whole nite and i am complaining..i feel bored..but i guess i am still lucky as he only work on call like 2x or 3x a week.i used to enjoy myself when he is not around as i can be with friend and family but being pregnant, i suddenly feel like i want him to be with me all the time..sigh..
deana: it does change when you have someone else other than your hubby to think about. suddenly there is no more 2 people in the house. now you are in the 'sponge' mode whereby whatever people advice on what to expect you will absorb to avoid making mistakes when the baby comes. the thing is that if u absorb too much and too fast, there will be an overload, and things will get out of hand. never be alone during this time. u should have a buddy beore, during and after birth. somebody maybe other than ur hubby. an experienced mum i guess. one thing is that u should always have a positive attitude on things. it will help when things get a little bit down.
other than that, being pregnant is the most beautiful thing in the world. having someone kicking and elbowing you all the time. it is pretty intense. (and of course not to have ur monthly period is phenomenal). anyway, my prayers are with u, before, during and after birth..
God bless
