I miss my husband

nikinikinine · February 2010

he's getting his MBA and b/c of the pregnancy and m/c he's behind on his schoolwork so for the last 4 days he's been holed up in his man cave studying his butt off for his first exam which is on Sunday (he's doing an online MBA). I haven't talked to him in days. He literally studies from the time he gets home until 1 a.m. every night.

I'm so proud of him, but I'm LONELY.

Aw, thank you. She is our little old lady - turns nine next week. I can't figure out how to resize my photo, though!

I'm sorry! I can totally relate. My DH is in grad school too and between work, classes and internships I never see him. Thank goodness he graduates in May, because I am tired of being a single married lady. Hang in there it is almost summer break.

he's actually in school year round! It's the way the e-MBA works. He takes one class at a time and each class runs for between 4 and 8 weeks. Some classes run right into one another (i.e. one ends on Sunday, the next starts on Monday) and some there is a week off in between. His next time "off" is at the end of March and then not another break until July

I'm excited for him though. This is going to make such a huge difference in his career.

What is your H going back for?

illinigal · February 2010

So sorry again about your loss. That's great your DH is getting his MBA... hopefully, it will all work out and you'll get to spend time with him very soon.

mrslovebug · February 2010

Aww that stinks. I hope he does great on his exam!

Oy vey! That is a tough. When is your DH done with his program? I feel pretty lucky that at least my DH's school schedule is traditional so he had summers off.

My DH is getting his masters in social work. He works with disabled adults but wants to move over to the VA and work with vets with PTSD.

wow, that is really admirable!

H just started in January, this is his second class. We're spreading his two year program over three years (his company pays for some of the tuition so by doing this we are less OOP). Based on the course distribution I'm hoping he'll have two 4 week breaks as a result of the classes he's "skipping" this year, but we haven't heard back from his advisor yet.

I hear you. I really miss my husband, but for entirely different reasons.

When we had a more normal life in Chicago, I rarely saw him during the week because he worked law associate hours, rarely coming home before 10 pm.

How about scheduling a date night, or make a special dinner where you focus on each other, even if he goes back to studying afterwards.

He sounds very diligent and goal oriented and this will all pay off one day.

madelyn07 · February 2010

I'm so sorry. I totally understand how you feel. My DH's season starts tomorrow and they left for Arizona today. For the next 7 months, I'll rarely see him. Well, that isn't exactly true, I'll see him..while he is coaching (on the field and on TV) but I won't get to spend time with him. He loves his job and he is very, very good at it, but man, it is sure sucks for me sometimes.

I just finished my MBA, it took me 3 years to complete and between classes, homework and commuting (after working full time), I barely saw my DH. So much so that he got a second job because he was bored at home and we could use the cash. Well I graduated this past December, and although DH has scaled back his second job, he doesnt want to quit it entirely! I dont mind as it still gives us some rainy day money, but I miss him on Sunday, Monday & Wednesday nights!

I'm so sorry hon.

I know it's not the same, but we're here for you

kthappy76 · February 2010

...and when you probably need him most. I'm sorry, it's tough being the wife of a student. I've been there, but thankfully mine is finally done. I was with my ex-boyfriend all through his MBA program and I used to joke that school was the "other woman" in our relationship. Hang in there!
