Husband working abroad

I understand your mood,my friend,You are afraid of lonely because you love your husband very much.But it does not matter,true love is trust and concern no matter how far you are.I believe your husband also miss you and your kids.Take care of yourself and support your husband.Everything he do is all for your family.Hope you live better and enjoy the sweet love from your husband!

I certainly understand where you are coming from. My husband and I had only been married 5 weeks and the Air Force sent him and his group to Thailand for 6 months. We had an apartment which was almost 3 hours from my home and I was beginning a new job. I lived that 6 months by myself. And then, a couple years later, we lived in another state in the North of the US,and he was sent to Vietnam for another 6 months. That time, I moved home with my parents and worked until he got home. They sent us to Texas where he finally got out of the service. Both of those 6 month tours was terrible, but we made it through. I didn't have any children and was all alone. Hopefully, you will be able to come with him if he comes to the US.

Yes that would indeed be very hard for you to adjust being alone for 6 months. I doubt if the office could accommodate you since its for business but if you can afford to spend on your own might be possible to do that. I think that should be the next best thing and might be that you and your husband might decide to live there permanently.

hi pehpot your husband has a job so be grateful.if you and your child can go along too that will be fantastic but dear be so glad he has a job. I live with my son and he lost his job and as yet has not found another one. You can live without him if you have too as he will also be lonely. think of all the service people who have to live alone while their mates are in the service I am sure they get lonely too, butt they manage and so can you. god bless.

hi dear pehpot. i know your dilemma , and i understand your problem being young and with asmall kid. but be brave madam these are opportunities and the struggle for career is too high. one has to survive and win the competition!!. i know the us visit is going to be beneficial for both of you financially and career wise. and you know he will also miss you and the child!! and i bet your love will flourish more if you stay apart for these six months!!be brave!!

Hi, My husband travel a lot with his work also and the longest time that we been apart was 6 weeks and it is very difficult! There one time that company paid for us to relocate in one place. But most of the time it's my husband expenses to take me with him. I hope that you can join him because I know how hard to be away with our husband especially for 6 months, and it will be a good experience for you and your kid to be in another country.

Well, that seems to be quite common these days. I have been away from home in the last 3 months, just going there for quite limited time. and obviously my family misses me, but I believe that I miss them much, since the place we call home is the best ;) - Believe me and I've been to China, France, Netherlands and Brazil in these last months, but I am just looking forward to go back home ;) Hang on there!

Good idea. I sincerely wish that his company makes provision for you both to accompany him.Can't you just accompany him on a tourist visa or something if it is only for 6 months?I have no idea whatsoever.But whatever it is ,I shall pray that you are able to move in for the six months.You would definitely tag along.Do not worry.

It is only 6 months, so it isn't a long time really. :) You could invite a sibling, parent, or friend to stay with you, if that suits you. And if the company doesn't mind the family accompanying him to the US, that will be the best solution for you. I understand how you will miss him and all that. But six months is really a short time. Time passes so fast, and you can be in touch all the time over the Internet and phone and what not. :) Cheers and happy mylotting

Well I have went through the same as my company (construction company) having their project far from my hometown where I am working in their Head Office posted me to their power plant project site in November, 2007. I stayed there till June, 2008. Life was so miserable because living without your family is very hard for everyone. I am very thankful to God that now I am back to my hometown and living with my family. You must have patience and think its only 3 weeks.

That would be really hard and I definitely encourage you to do everything you can to make sure you are able to go with him. That's a long time to separate a family if it's not necessary.

In the last 5 years that I have been married to my wife I have been home for approximately a year and a half. It is very difficult, however there are sacrifices that some of us must make. I enjoy my career and my wife enjoys the money. It is something that we must deal with. By saying that you "can't live" without someone is just another way of saying that you are not as strong willed as you were raised to be. Think about it, you went how long in your life without this person? now you have to have them all the time? The reality is that you don't "WANT" to live without them. It is time to buckle down and decide if that is something you desire to do, because of money, good career, good benefits, whatever. Or if any of that is even important to you. My wife and kids get everything taken care of as far as medical and everything. That is one reason why I stick around, it is too expensive for health care other wise. Also I have a great retirement plan. It sucks now, but in the long run, my family will be better off. That is something you need to think about, the long run is more important than the short run. No pain no gain, remember?

maybe your worried about him being unfaithful??? i dunno, just keep your head up and try to keep your family together, to avoid nasty mistakes, and loneliness

u gotta have faith.and that's it...i'm sure it'll be fine

It would be too lonely for your husband because he will surely miss you and the kids. And for you and your kids, you will certainly miss him so much. I believe if he as another option he could always turn down the offer for the sake of the family. Anyway, if he is already earning good enough for the family then why sacrifice for 6 months? That would be too long a perioed to miss the company of his beloved family. However, if he could bring the whole family then why not? That would be a very nice opportunity.
