Butterfly11 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 My SO job takes him out of town at a moments notice. Sometimes he'll be gone for a day, this past time he was gone for 2 1/2 months with brief 1-2 days visits when he could take them. I always hate when he goes, but eventually I get accustomed to his absence and it makes it easier. But in doing so I've almost had to suppress my feelings for him because missing him hurts. I dislike not knowing when he could be called out of town. I dislike when we have to cancel plans. I dislike not knowing when he is going to come home. Part of me is jealous sometimes because when he does get called away it seems like he is having more fun then when he is here...dining out, drinks after work, etc... I know I'm supposed to keep myself busy with hobbies and friends, but I just don't have that many of either. If my son isn't around I feel very lonely and at times I take this out on him, knowing it isn't his fault. I know I am co-dependent. I'm not sure how to deal with his job. Accept it yes, like it, no.
