Need a break

Have you ever needed a break from the one you love? I'm not talking about divorce or sepration or anything like that. What I mean is where they go on a vaction or business trip and you get the house to yourself for a week or two. Sometimes I need a break from my husband and I just want the house to myself. Don't get me wrong I love my husband with all my heart, but we all need a break sometimes.

I have never felt like that towards my husband before. I don't know why, maybe something is wrong with me . Maybe not, its probably cause we still act like we got married yesterday when we've been married almost 3 years already. Omg, I can't believe I have been married for this long. Maybe eventually somewhere down the line, I will feel like I need a break from my hubby and maybe tell him something like go hang out with the boys for a day or so and maybe give me some shopping money to go shopping or go to iowa for awhile. Lol, wouldn't that be cool. Since we talk every day though, I know why you would like to have a break from your husband, sometimes he can be annoying lol. I'm so mean, but anyways, hopefully you get the break that you need. You definitely deserve it.

Oh yes your so right he can be annoying. You know that for sure I tell you everything he does when we are on the phone talking. I get so frustrated when he comes home and we have a great converstaion going on and then he's home and then we have to stop talking and hang up and text . There nothing wrong with you believe me you and your husband are still at that honeymoon stage. I think me and my hubby should be there too, but it's not like that. That would be super duper awesome if you came up here to visit me that would be a great break from my husband.

Yeah I suppose we're still at that honeymoon stage and we're still all lovey dovey. Its not your fault at all that you guys are not at that stage, you know what he kind of ruined that for you guys, with that craziness of his. Hopefully he brings it back and you guys will be just like us. I hate it when he comes home too, cause like you said we're in a wonderful discussion and then he's home and he's like spend time with me spend time with me. And you're like I really don't wanna lol. Its so funny. He's like a grown kid that you need to take care of all the time. That you have to hang up just so he gets some attention. Like really, do he seriously needs all that attention. One of these days he'll understand that you need time alone and give you the space that you need and then when he comes back, he'll be all shocked at how happy and excited that you are that he came home lol. Its cause you needed that space hello!!!!! I think that he doesn't give you your space on purpose, I bet he knows that he annoys you and wants to keep up with the spree of annoying you. That's why he always comes home early and turns down jobs that require him to be away from home for good couple of days. It has nothing to do with him wanting to come home and spend time with you lol. Cause most of the time what does he do, go home and sleep or watch shows that you really don't want to watch lol. Man I really hope he changes. He should give you that break for real though.

And you know what I just thought of this. He needs a friend . I bet if he had a really awesome friend then he would be hanging out with him all the time. Going to bars and stuff. Sorry unfortunately my husband doesn't want to be his friend he's annoyed him too and my hubby already doesn't like him and he hasn't met him yet lol.

Yes, some time we need a little break just like what you mean but it is very difficult to manage that, if you try it in this meaning then in next hour you ll call him to come back, it is really very hard to go through this in this way. But I think this is not a wise idea and should not put this into action because it ll create problems for both, parter can think why s/he needs a break from me, what I havenot done for him. If my partner ask me that give me a break for one week, I dont want to see you for one week, definitely I ll be shocked that what type of love is it I may be wrong or my opinion may differ from you, this does not to hurt....

Thats so true some people do thing what did I do wrong and stuff. You got a good point there. I remember my husband went on a business trip for over a month one time and I missed him like crazy so I would probably miss him like crazy if he had to go on vaction or a business trip again.

yes sometimes we need a little break from the one we love. Maybe perhaps a time away from each other in order for both couple to give themselves time and a time to miss each other.

not me... i can never bear the thought of having to separate with my hubby even if it is just for one day... it is just too painful for me... i will miss him a lot and feel very lonely if my hubby has to go out for a long time and leave me by myself... take care and have a nice day...

Yes of course I do. It is human. Sometimes, I need to stay away from her just to feel something like, "What might she do now?". I sometimes also want to feel that she'll be waiting for me and longing for me. That's romantic! By the time I finish my break, everything will be more and more beautiful. I will feel like I have left her for thousands years, and she does. That's how love should be improvised.

Neither me nor my wife ever felt so. We want to be with each other as much as possible. But due to my work and busy schedules it never happens, like we stay together completely for 24 hours. We just dream of it and plan for it but it never happens.
