I didn't grow up receiving or witnessing many words of affirmation and it does not come naturally to me to do that for him. It is definitely a challenge to make sure we meet each others needs because neither of us always understand exactly what it is that the other needs us to do for them. As far as always missing my husband, I know how that goes too. Last week marks the beginning of the first period of time in our three years of marriage that Jon's schedule hasn't been completely and utterly consumed by training and his job. That past three years have been filled with weeks at a time where he would leave the house at 5:00 am or earlier and not return until 8:00pm or later and then have to study until after midnight, then go to bed and do the same thing the next day and the next...and work all weekend long too. I'd see him long enough for him to scarf down dinner, and sometimes not even that. Just last week his job got switched to one with a much less demanding schedule. It's weird to have so much time together and now we're facing the challenge of figuring out what to do with ourselves. But I completely understand how you feel. It's not fun to go through, but you can do it! :)Whitney Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03627236868835305576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1269431956658509659.post-43046190592646490172013-11-13T06:54:49.152-05:002013-11-13T06:54:49.152-05:00I hear this!

There are times when i do a show, and i'm in rehearsals non-stop & i actually will have a meltdown at some point & say, 'I miss you!! I need a mini-date!" (Mini-date: dates that we fit in between work & rehearsal!) I am not doing theatre much these days. It is my passion, but i just would rather be home with him. I think we (me & you) probably sound ridiculous to some of our friends, but that's okay. ;) I think it's good that we like being with our hubby's so much! :)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14815407660365883762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1269431956658509659.post-46371280756611304292013-11-11T20:57:38.748-05:002013-11-11T20:57:38.748-05:00I hear ya!!

But still, I don't see him as much as I used to. <br /><br />Totally understandable! But like you said, if this is our only issue in marriage...we're pretty lucky.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1269431956658509659.post-71372530420813469512013-11-11T11:59:43.837-05:002013-11-11T11:59:43.837-05:00When we first got married, we have very opposite s...When we first got married, we have very opposite schedules--sometimes I would literally not see Angel for several days at a time because he'd leave for work before I'd get home, and the next morning I'd leave for school before he got home, and the cycle would repeat. Plus, I fell like whenever I did see him, he was half asleep! It is frustrating to go through those seasons, but hopefully you guys will eventually get on a more similar schedule--that craving for togetherness is a good thing too, its definitely a better problem than not even wanting to be in the same room with each other!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07894832851934334471noreply@blogger.com
