  I can relate. My husband is working full time, working out after, and working on the weekends too. It's a lot of stress on me and it's lonely! As far as coping goes, I try to wait upfield him at night and have a glass of wine and watch one of our shows together. I send pictures and texts throughout the day to stay connected too. Just try to remember that this will pass.
  
  I've also found that getting out and seeing friends and family helps. Also, a surprise lunch visit to hubbys' office is nice too.

  I completely understand. My husband is a truck driver and he's gone 3 weeks out of the month. I live in a completely different state and both of our families are in another state as well. It's definitely difficult. I've been extremely angry and bitter when he has to be gone longer. I celebrated thanksgiving alone and believe me our kids first holiday being alone was devastating. I get why hes gone and it lets me be a SHM but Raising our son alone with no help and no breaks has been hard. I know that's a different situation than having your husband choose to go hunting over staying home with you. But I cope with it by trying to keep us busy with DIY crafts. I really hope hunting season passes quickly for you though!
