Matt, my fiance has left today for a week to work in another province. He rarely calls me when he is away because he says the cellphone bills are too much. He does call his mom who is in her 80's and I call her too, because we both worry if she is alone and hurts herself there is no one there to help her. So we worry about her and I worry about him. Do you worry when your husband or boyfriend wife or girlfriend is away? Do you worry about your kids who are off to school in a different city and do not come home until school break?

I always worry when my husband is away from me. I especially worry about him when he is traveling to work because he has to travel about 40-50 miles per day on the highway. I am afraid that he will be in a terrible accident. He also works in a very dangerous job and I am afraid that he will get hurt. He also has to work outside in the heat and the cold. I worry about my daughter also at high school because in juts this past week, some kid threatened to kill alot of people and even wrote it on the wall in theboys bathroom. the school was locked down and that kid was investigated and not allowed back on the premises, but they think there were more than one person involved in this which is very scary.

I worry about my loved ones when they walk out that door until they return, even though they're just going to be gone for several hours. I think it's just part of being human. The few occasions when one of them have been gone for more than a day had me going crazy. I hope the days fly by for you so that you don't have to worry too much.

I do worry about my husband and my son, but it is mostly when I have to travel. they never go very far without me. When I have to fly to Virginia for class and be gone for a week I do tend to worry that something will happen to them or to me while I am gone. I don't know if there is anything I can do about this but it does bother me to worry about them so much.

I think it's the woman folk usually who are more sensitive and think worrying is their job somehow i have seen very few men including my own father who never worries a lot when i go out and am a end upcoming home later than decided.... My mom always gets very tensed and upset and tells me i should have called there are times when one cannot make that call and i know it's scary but i think what has to happen will happen anyways and worrying over our loved ones and upsetting them and quarelling with them will lead us nowhere.. But then i guess it also feels good when someone calls you and tells you where have u been I'm worried sick about you are u alright all these words really make you feel wanted so i guess.. We should worry about our loved ones and close friends after all that's what makes life so interesting..

I worry all the time about my husband, see he's military. I take him to work before the sun comes up and worry about something happening to him all day at the base. I sometimes wonder if i'll get a call saying he can't come home because he's been injured or something has happend at the base. I'm sure that if he goes to another country then I will worry even more. I have several ways to get into contact with my husband, but most of the time they don't work because of rules and regulations. I worry so much about him, but isn't that wife's job? We are to worry about our loved one's, its a tirsome job but someone has to do it.

Yes, i worry about my husband. He works away each week. It is a long drive and country roads. He travels some of the way in the dark. I worry he will have an accident, even though he is a very good driver.

I don't worry about my husband but I would worry about the kids. We haven't crossed that particular bridge yet, but when they are away overnight I always worry and wonder how they are getting on.

i worry when i am away from my family, like when i go on business trips without them...i worry when my husband travels without us...i worry when my kids are not with me for extended periods - even just for sleepovers and such... i think it's because you know they're away from you and if something bad happens, you will feel helpless because you are not there...on the other hand, when something good happens, you or whoever is away will miss it...

I think it's only natural that we worry. I know that my mom worries about me a lot. Whenever I'm out with my friends, even though I told her where I was going, she used to call me a lot on my mobile. She doesn't do that anymore lately. Maybe she realized that I'm actually an adult. LOL. I also worry about my boyfriend when he also away and he hasn't called on my mobile. Whenever we're separated, we always call each other or text each other and I worry when he doesn't.

I worry when my mom or one of my children are away. I am their normal caregiver and I don't think that anyone takes as good of care of them as I do. My fiancee and I started off with a long distance relationship so I am use to us being apart. I don't like going for long periods of time without talking though. If I don't hear from him atleast once a day I would worry. Since we moved in together we haven't been apart except for a few hours.

Sure I get worried. I am the ultimate worry queen. My husband leaves next Saturday for Saudi Arabia for 6 months for the military. So since we won't be talking too much I will be worried sick about him. It isn't as bad as going to Iraq or Afghanastan in my opinion, but it still isn't the safest place. I have no idea how much we'll be able to talk. :( My kids go to school less than 4 minutes away, just down the road, so that's nice, One less thing to worry about! Although with people trying to attack Fort Dix, that makes me a little more nervous than I used to be.

I worry when I haven't spoken to someone I care about for a couple of days. My fiancee and I see each other daily since we leave together. Neither of us are away from each other for long periods of time. I know if something were to happen I would be notified right away. When my son was away for college I made sure that we talked on a weekly basis.
