Hi mylotters. I just share my uncomfortable condition right now. My husband placed by his office in a branch of company and it is in a small town that I dislike to live there for some reasons. Last month, I back into my home and live separately with him. I really did not like this condition because we never live separately before. Fortunately, I have two little kids. five years and 16 months old. So, I don't feel lonely. My husband back home to visit us once in two week but he often have work here for meeting in center office, so he come once or twice in a week. We have talk about it but I have try to follow him for six months and i was so bored there. We keep contact by phone. every morning, day and night before our kids sleep. I know that my kids dislike this condition and my husband miss my kids surely. So do I. LOL. I just try to be patient through this condition. How about you, do you live far from your family or your husband? share here, how you trough that time? thanks for response.

I've stayed away from my husband. However, only 2 months. I am now, following my husband, and lived with my husband. For now, I live with my husband, I was living away from family. As a wife, I must follow my husband. Even if I feel uncomfortable, I will try to adjust.

Congratulations on your pregnancy. Hopefully, all the best, you and your husband get. And your household, always harmonious, and happy. though sometimes, you and your husband should stay separate.

Hi Indah. It is good decision you made. Surely, you have some consideration when you decided to stayed away or follow him. Now, I am pregnance and I think that it is not comfort for me live there. Fortunately, My husband have to work here (where i live now) two or three days in a week or two week. so he back home and spent time with us. so, it is not feel really separately. I just bored there but I will back stay there although sometimes I visit my house here.

My husband has work in Lampung since last year. we lived in Palembang before for 1,4 years because his work too. so, from Palembang we stay in Jakarta and my husband in Lampung. We stay about five months before I follow him. I have tried to live there since January but stiil visit our house in Jakarta for three days. Since June, I decided to live in Jakarta again. Maybe next month I will follow him because it must be uncomfortable to spend Ramadhan separately.

lost response copy i think you should take the kids and go back to that boring town and find something to occupy yourself to unbore yourself.breaking up a family is no way to run a family at all, its not fair to any of you. go back there and occupy yourself with things that you enjoy.now most economies are down and jobs should be held onto. make some sacrifices and keep your family together.i find this younger generation much too easily bored myself I would never have lived apart from my husband no matter what.

Hi Hatley. Thanks for response. Yes for some wife, they have principle that wherever her husband live, so does her. We agree and We have the principle too. I have some activity there and now they wait for me. I am in thinking to back there because together must be better. But i wait for something here now.

I have same situation before with my husband. I know it's quite difficult at first, but later you will get use to it. Unless you will have the chance to follow and lived where he is working, that's the best option that you can do.

Thanks for sharing jaiho. You know how the feel, right. because you have experienced about it. yes, for the first, it is so hard. Take care for kids especially at night. moreover, when they get sick like I face now. Together must be better. So, we try to be together once in a week. I start thinking to follow him next month.
