I can't believe that sometimes he forgets to say good bye when he left for work because he thinks too much. And that's my hubby. He always give me a hug when he left for work but there were times that he just left without me knowing he is no longer there. I just know it when the car's engine starts to roar. Oh my goodness!! I suppose to feel bad and blurt our my ordeal when he gets home but I understand he has so many things in mind. But even then, it is not an excuse. I really felt bad.
Did you experience things like this? I just want comfort if there is anybody who experience the same and what did you do? Sometimes, I am not talking to him...
Silent treatment is my weapon all the time. hahaha

[i]Hi Bebs,
wow..he must be very busy and he thinks a lot! ANyway, I haven't tried that hubby didn't forget so far, LOL! But, when I am upset, I prefer not to say anything when he leaves! LOL! bad me! I have just a lot of pride, I know it's not good and maybe we are just matched because he is always there to understand my "craziness" LOL!
Maybe you need to post yourself in the door before he left so that he will see you and will never forget your goodbye kiss! LOL![/i]

I don;t want to look crazy posting at the door. I was used to have hugs and kiss before he left and when he forgets it, I'm deadly upset. Maybe just girly thing.
He will do his cute cute drama when it's almost time for bed.
Well, like you I also have lots of pride. But I am trying to overcome it. Maybe I just need to understand and not act like a kid wanting for attention.
I think this is normal when we are not busy. We have a lot of self pity.[/i]

Whew! I am glad I haven't experienced that..YET..hehe. There was the time I was upset because i fell asleep in the bed alone and he slept in the other room. What i did is, I locked the door coz if ever he wokes up and decided to sleep beside me he can't come in. But he did not. In the morning, it was time for him to go to work. He knocked on the door several times. I was inside our room and ignored him. He didn't leave until I opened the door. He came close to me and gave a big squeeze of hugs and countless kisses while laughing and asked me "why did you lock the door?". hahaha. I realized, no matter what happened he wont leave without giving me a kiss, saying goodbye to me and he loves me. No matter how late he will be. That made me feel really great and important. Especially when he comes home from work he would grab and do and say the same thing except for goodbye...hehehe.

wow!! how sweet. Well, sometimes I am upset with it but later I realized that he has o many things to think about in the morning. Well, he'll do that hug and kiss sometime when he gets home after dinner or before bedtime. But when he forgets even to tell me if he's going or not in the morning, it made me upset.

You'd be amazed at the things I forget.
So maybe he's forgetting too or perhaps he's in a real rush to go and get there in time for something.
You're not going to know unless he tells you the truth.
And that won't come with the silent treatment.

Us guys get busy thinking about other things as your title suggests. We do think about you during the day though, and not just when we're hungry and long for your cooking. Greet him at the end of the day like you haven't seen him for a week, it will spark back that time when he has less on his mind and more of you to think about.

[em]lol[/em] Really? It is nice to have men in this discussion at least they can speak in behalf of husbands
I wish I could do what you suggest. The thing is, I am still upset when he gets home. But I believe in you. It is true that he is thinking of many things this week and almost all weeks. The thing is when he gets home, as if nothing happens. He would never remember to apologize why he forgets to tell me where he goes. It drives me crazy sometimes. I just wish I've never been there when he leaves and when he's back.

Oh how sweet my friend, I wish I could do that.
You are very inspiring.
He might jump for joy because I am not doing that often. I like that idea.
He might be wondering what happen to me if I would do that because I never do. just give him a hug when he left. That is our usual routine. Your advice is CUTE!!!![em]thumbup[/em

Ha!ha!ha! How funny! Your husband must be really loaded with so many things in his mind! How funny really! Oh my friend, you must understand your husband. Don't be too childish! You are no longer in the courtship stage. Instead of feeling bad you should rather be more understanding. If you will give him silent treatment... you will be adding more thoughts in his mind and chances are he will even become more forgetful. Ha!ha!ha! I can't help laughing really. It is like a scene in a movie or TV sitcom. But seriously, I encourage you to give your husband some more of your understanding.

Hi my friend,
I tell you what? He always do that. that's the routine everyday
Good if I am not used to? I will not wonder or be upset. I know he is thinking a lot of things. He is really a thinker that sometimes his mind is working faster than his body can do. I told him one time to slow down because it can lead to frustration most often. I think you are right, displaying drama attitude would add to his thoughts. I just pity on him because he is just surprise why I am not talking to him.
He doesn't even remember what is the reason.
I don't want to be silly telling him about it. Very shallow reason.. You are right!! childish thing.

My husband and I work in the same building (different departments) so we ride to work together. My job requires me to do a lot of traveling (around the city) while his does not; however, we always eat lunch together no matter what I'm doing. There have been times when I had to go out and make a run, I'd look for the car and it would be gone!! The first time it happened I honestly thought someone stole it so I called my husband frantic and he told me he was across the street at the gas station buying some gum and he didn't think he had to tell me that. I was relieved but upset at the same time because why couldn't he just tell me he had to go to the store? I had to wait until I calmed down because approaching him in anger does not work at all, so when I did calm down I explained to him that he should always tell me when he's leaving, even if he's just going across the street. I wish I could say it worked the first time I told him but after about three times (and a lot of attitude from me) he got the point!

Hi MrsRich,
I might also apply what you did to make him get the point.
Or maybe I would do it to him too so that he would feel also how upsetting it is. It was just funny when you thought your care was stolen. Very annoying really. I can understand it though this happen maybe 2 or 3 times already. Maybe he would get it If i will not speak to him the whole week.
like as if he did not exist.
