Reader Buzz: Out of Town

Reader Buzz: Out of Town

This is Mr. Bee. Mrs. Bee has been out of town for the past few days, and I have missed her a lot!

Here are the top things I’ve missed (that I can share).

It feels sad to leave the apartment without a kiss goodbye
It’s no fun to come home to an empty apartment
It’s nice to be able to catch up on each other’s day, at the end of the evening

Also, Smokey the cat is going crazy without someone to hang out with all day.

What do you miss the most about your SO when they are out of town?

My guy just switched jobs (yay!), but he works second shift , so now we only see each other when he gets home at midnight. Yesterday was the first day, and I had a heck of a time. I didn’t realize how much I smile when he’s around.

There was no one to talk to, get opinions from, and generally just chat with. I hardly said a word all evening. It’s also way too quiet, and I found I don’t like sleeping by myself. I’m loving his new job, but this is harder than I thought it was going to be.

Everything! Since Mr Corn is away everyday that isn’t a weekend day, we have gotten used to it. But sometimes I really get lonely. Especially since before I was married I had roommates. Now I just have a cat.

Oh you are so sweet, Mr. Bee!

When Mr. Jasmine is away, I miss cuddling with him on the couch, laughing with him about funny things on TV or in books, and our long chats about everything and anything.

*sigh* This makes me depressed about the 3 years post-marriage that we will be living apart.
I miss having someone to talk to over dinner and getting hugs!

Aw, Mr. Bee is too sweet.

FI is out of town for this entire week I really miss his hugs when I come home from work, and having someone to listen to my commentary as we watch TV. I’ve even resorted to making a pile of clothing in his shape (roughly) on his side of the bed so I wouldn’t feel lonely.

Now I’m sad

Well, I’m the global traveler of the two of us as I’m in Europe for my job at least once a month and being away from my FI is especially hard when I’m in Paris or Nice or some other romantic city w/o him. Luckily, he got to come on a biz trip with me last month and we enjoyed London and Paris together!

But i agree with tea… I miss everything! Especially the evenings when we usually sit on the couch with our dogs.

Eating out and Exercising! Cause honestly, if the FI doesnt force me off my butt on the weekends, I’m a total potato.

But honestly, the FI leaving gives me a chance to catch up with girlfriends, so its not so bad. I miss him of course, but I seem to solidify outside relationships when I’m forced to, like when the FI is away.

So, its a plus and minus for me!

I am the same as Miss Penguin. DH used to work 2nd, so I found that while I missed him, it gave me a chance to be with girlfriends. Now he is in School, so I always plan a “date night” with the ladies when he is class, so I am not taking away from our time together.
I miss having someone to talk to, or someone to cuddle with when he is gone. I am also the one that does the traveling, so I miss having him around at night when I am gone….

My Fiance and I have a long distance relationship. We live about 2 hours apart, but we see each other every weekend. When we part every Sunday night, I cannot sleep because I miss his warmth next to me, among other things.

My DH is a pilot and is out of town usually four days in a row. Add that to my own travel schedule and well, some weeks we only overlap by a weekday or two.
I miss every little hair on my DH’s head while we’re apart. His silly grin, his hugs and cuddles, and how he always takes our dog out right before bed - and doesn’t make me do it!
I’m just so glad we’re married and get to spend forever together.

I live in Utah where I go to school and my man lives in Texas so I spend most of my time missing him. The kisses, his obsession with eating healthy, long talks about things that don’t sound as good to talk about over the phone, and time spent on the couch while I do homework and he works all cause me to miss him even more.

As weird as this sounds, I miss how my fiance smells. There’s just something about his soap/cologne/shampoo/him that’s basically intoxicating to me. When he’s gone, I normally wear his shirts around the house to make me feel a little better.

He is in the military so I dont see him for months on end, which is always fun. To make things even more interesting, I was offered the best job, but its on the other side of the country from where he’s stationed. We’re contemplating a long-distance marriage. :/
I miss snuggling at night in that perfect spot under his arm. I miss anything and everything together.
Oh how I’d love to do anything together!

I have to fall asleep with the TV on and FI usually turns the TV off when I’m asleep, I get startled when I wake up and the TV is still on.

no one to tell funny things/stories/comments to! i have to show a little restraint or else i would be calling every five minutes. i always tell myself to ‘remember to tell him this later’, but i never do!

Ah so cute… I miss putting my cold feet on Mr. Flamingo while we sleep. He is a a human heater and he makes me soooo warm. I love that.

mr. bee is so sweet! the bees are lucky to have each other.

FI and i both travel a lot for work, and it often involves being in different countries at different times. this past year we’ve mostly only spent weekends together, and it really stinks! if my schedule permits i will go to wherever he is and work from there, but it’s not the same in a hotel in a strange country. i just miss all the normal stuff, like having coffee together while we’re getting ready for work, or going to the grocery store.

I miss so much about my FI. He is at grad school, so is only home on the weekends right now. I miss cuddling while we watch television, I miss having dinner with him, kisses before I go to bed and really I miss his scent. I started having him leave a shirt that smells like him, because on really tough days, that shirt can comfort me, by making him at least feel close by me, even if he can’t be.

Thank goodness we haven’t spent many nights apart since we’ve been married!! I remember my first business trip when I called him from the hotel to say I’d made it, I was almost crying I missed him so much!! (Even though he was joining me in a few days to live it up in Vegas after the trade show!)

I miss having him sleep next to me most - and waking up with him. I also miss his cute childish grin and giggle about silly things. (He probably misses having a ping pong partner when I’m gone!)

One thing though - I do kinda enjoy the long phone (or IM) chats when we’re apart. They remind me of early on in our relationship and make me smile! That’s how we really got to know each other!
