Have you ever been away from your life partner for longer than a few days? I have, and am quite regularly, due to my line of work; I fly around a lot and my partner can't come with me.
When I'm away we are sometimes in communication and sometimes it's not possible but either way I miss specific things about her. It's not just physical things but also the emotional closeness we share, the feeling of knowing she's there close by and the sense of belonging I have when in close proximity. I guess I'm saying I miss the bond that connects us.
Missing one's partner isn't a bad thing and they say absence makes the heart grow fonder right? It's always nice coming home after an absence; that hug and kiss the way my girlfriend always wants to look her best for when I first see her at the airport or when I walk into the house, the first scent of her perfume, the way we chat and exchange stories in the car on the way home or over coffee later...we reaffirm that bond, rekindle the flame, and it's lovely.
What's your experiences been like? If you want to talk about it let me know in the comments.
