Do you ever miss your husband/partner/significant other?
Like ACTUALLY miss them?
Mines currently sitting next to me, so I’m not referring to the distance kind of miss but in the pre parenting relationship kinda miss?
I do.
I miss the uninterrupted conversations we had. The hours we could talk about anything and finish a converstaion the same day we started it.
I miss the cuddles. The times when it was just him and I in the bed. The same bed. Alone. With no elbows to the face or knees in the ribs.
I miss the dinners or breakfasts where we spent time people watching instead of cleaning up squashed $17 avo from the floor or taking turns chasing the getaway child.
I miss the spontaneity of deciding to go out anywhere last minute without contempting the impact it would have on the 3 hours sleep we usually get or packing the suitcase of necessities.
I miss the road trips. In the CLEAN car listening to normal music at a high volume. There’s only so much “eye spy” one can take on the freeway.
I miss my husband.
Just being with him.
Focusing on him.
Focusing on us.
But then I look down at the two little people literally attached to my legs and I realise that once this stage passes too, I will miss it.
So for the next few years part time co-sleeping and half finished conversations over smashed avocado is as good as it’s going to get!
Plus the occasional date night will get us through!
Sending you love,
MBS

Yes. I do. I miss him tremendously but like you i wouldn’t change our current life for anything! We are lucky to have three healthy children who are growing into beautiful people! Some couples, any two people who love eachother & want to have children can’t. Be that because of gender, politics, their body (they just cant) or they cant find ‘the one’. My husband & i are blessed beyond words! We need to cherish every second because it wont last long! xxx
I could not agree with you more!
We are so blessed and often we don’t realise just how much.

My first baby is due in just under a week. Your post has just inspired me; I’m going to spend this last week soaking in as much of my alone time with my husband as I can.
You have some exciting times ahead! Enjoy your last week with your husband. Goodluck with the birth xxx
