It's a little weird, but don't worry! I'm the same way with my husband. He travels for work and I miss him a lot more than I think I will every time he leaves. Maybe it's a combination of missing him and being jealous he's on vacation? It's not abnormal that you miss him and just because others have a worse situation then you do doesn't mean you can't. So, enjoy your week and he'll be home before you know it.
We dated long distance for two years (Chicago to Boston) and have lived together for almost 2 years now... I think that since its the first time we'll have been apart for this long since we moved in, all the old emotions of our long distance experience are coming back! We used to go 3 weeks to 2 months without seeing each other and it was pretty hard. A couple months ago, he went to Vegas for about 5 days and I was happy to have the time alone to get stuff done. But for some reason I don't feel that way this time. I think you're right, maybe I'm sad that he's on vacation and I have to work the next 5 days :(
I guess its time to make a to-do list to tackle to keep my mind off of him laying on the beach :) Thanks for helping!
Make sure at least one of the items on your to-do list is something fun! Call up a few of your girlfriends this weekend and get together for lunch or a movie. Or even better, manicures! You can still enjoy yourself while your honey is soaking up the sun with his buddies. Just get out of the house and do something... before you know it, your guy will be back. :o)
(That's my plan for when FI heads to Seattle next month for a conference... only a couple of weeks before our wedding!)
It's much better that you miss him than are glad that he's out of your hair!
It's only natural to be a little sad when everyone else can take a vacation and you are stuck at work. Try to do fun things that you enjoy by yourself as a pick-me-up.
Do you have a group of close friends or gf's? Sometimes it can be unhealthy to be that attached to your SO... but I don't think you have to worry!
Your feelings are normal- especially if you haven't spent a lot of time apart. My FI and I see each other for a week every 2 months or so... so we're used to it lol. I'd suggest just hanging out with some friends for the week he's gone, run some errands, workout & catch up on all the great WB boards & blogs. :) lol
I think thats why I'm having such a hard time... some of my friends are on the trip with him and another is at a wedding down in New York this weekend. My best friends live back in Chicago so I obviously can't hang out with them this week :) Alittle time alone is good... I've been doing some serious shopping and just trying to enjoy this relaxing time. After all, a year from now will be 2 weeks before my wedding and it will be quite the opposite!!!
Oh and I took all of your advice and decided to cash in my spa finder gift certificates that my fiance got me for Christmas. So tomorrow I'm treating myself to a massage + my first facial! Yay :)
yes - enjoy the pampering, and remember - he is missing you too!

There are so many women who's fiances and husbands are overseas and whom they haven't seen in months. So why is it that I feel sad that my fiance is going to be gone for only one week? We got engaged in February and have been overwhelmed with wedding planning (in a good way!)... he is taking a week vacation with some work friends and they rented a beach house in North Carolina. I couldn't go due to my work schedule and I know all they'll be doing is sitting around playing cards and laying by the pool. So why do I feel so sad? I just dropped him off at the airport and am trying my hardest to get motivated to do stuff to keep me busy, but I can't seem to snap out of it. I know I should take the next week to workout, do some wedding stuff, and enjoy the time alone.
Does anyone else feel this way when they're away from their fiance? Is it unhealthy that I am going to miss him so much? What can I do to keep my mind off of it for the next week!?
