This post is likely to make plenty of you gag so if you have weak stomachs perhaps you should skip me today.
I had a revelation yesterday. My husband helps to balance out my moods. Sounds simple doesn't it? I just figured it out. Maybe I'm slow. I realize that I rely on my husband more than many of the women who read my blog rely on their spouses. Our relationship is a lot more "traditional" than most. My husband goes to work and brings home the money, I take care of our home and children. (It's not for everyone but it suits us.) It took me some time to come to peace with the fact that I am relying solely on him for our financial well being. It was a little scary to be honest but I did it.
NOW I realize that my moods are tied to him too?! Not like if he is happy he makes me happy that's too obvious. When he works crazy hours at his job (this week will be close to 80 hours) I tend to be snappy and cranky. I work hard to reel in the ugly OGO but it's a job and a half I will admit! Even last night, CCB came home at 7 and I was way happy to see him but I was still snappy! One minute I'd be gazing into his warm brown eyes, a little later I'm gritting my teeth telling him we did not have to fill out a new direct deposit form, then shortly after that, I was rubbing his achy feet! I'm all over the place! I'm a mess when I don't get to see him enough.
I hear gagging! I warned you to move on! You should have listened.
It should get better when Christmas is over. Except that's when they have Inventory. THEN it should be better right? Nope then they have a remodel.
This could be a bumpy ride!

Maybe you just need a hobby to fill in the alone time. I hear blogging works for some people..
Anyways, I do sympathize with you. Hopefully you will see him more soon..
H&B2-I have plenty to keep me busy during the day. I don't know what my problem is. I'm just pathetic.
GAHHHHHHCKKK GAHHKCCCKKKKKK GACCCKKKKKK...
I wasn't gagging...just had a chicken bone in my throat. ;)

Well I for one think it's lovely. Not that you're feeling down but that you're sooooo in love!
I knew an lovely old couple, Harry and Eliza...totally inseparable, until Eliza died. Harry died 3 months later of a broken heart. That's love.
I don't find anything wrong in what you're describing, and I certainly don't find it pathetic. The alternative, where the focus is all you, is pretty shallow.
Dave and I are co-dependent and I've always thought it strengthened us. We've made it through good and bad times since 1974. That's before you were born.
That's depressing.
TF and I have a traditional relationship too. It works out for us and we have been married for 35 years. TF comes home to me every night and I know he loves me and no one else. You are lucky to have CCB, be grateful and quit worrying about it. He is not out there working all those long hours because he loves working, he is providing for his family. Take your moments with him and make them special, that way he will always come home to you and the kids.
Count your many blessings.
I tood your advice. I didn't read this. You can't get mad at me this time. You told me not to.
That wasn't so bad, I thought it would be one of those sick posts about mucus or diarrea or something.
