Yeah! Mr Bob is home tonight!
So when I go away on a trip I (terrible wife that I am) hardly miss Mr Bob at all. But he was away this weekend and the house was so empty and the bed was so empty it sucked.
I missed him lots.
On the other hand, the 12 hour days on the weekend helped me catch up on some work.
But working because I have nothing else to do is a little bit sad. I did go out on Friday, so I wasn't a total hermit.
So do you miss your sig fig or revel in freedom? Or a bit of both? Is the first day nice, followed by missing? Does it matter who leaves?

I don't miss him during the day because I am used to not seeing him during the day. I miss him like crazy in the evening and I !!!hate!!! going to bed alone. (Although, strangely, I usually sleep better without random snoring episodes.)
If he is gone for days I go nuts! He usually calls every day - which helps - but it is still not enough. Also? Tom makes dinner happen. When he is not here I just graze on dumb stuff that's laying around.
When I am the one going out of town I don't miss him as much as when he is the one who leaves. He, on the other hand, works 18 hour days to fill the time.
Ask Kim, she was alone for a weekend recently.
I miss him terribly; the house is empty and I eat junk. I can't sleep and the bed is huge. I read more. I shop more.
Normally, if I have to go out of town, I miss him but not much. My time is usually jam packed with a million work activities. If he goes away for more than 48 hours, I revel in the freedom and miss him. I'm used to sleeping alone every 3rd night, so that's not that big of a deal, really.
Depends on how long he's gone and how often. For the past two years, he travels far too much for my liking. I sort of get used to it though and it can be quite an adjustment when he gets back.
If he's gone more than two nights, then I really miss him. I do enjoy having the bed to myself. Well, if you can call sleeping with a dog and 5 cats having the bed to myself LOL.
When DH goes to see his boys for a long weekend, I enjoy that because then I just have the whole weekend to myself to be a total slug.
I've only travelled once, leaving DH behind. I believe he really misses me.
I'll be travelling at the end of the month and he's already starting to panic about what he's going to eat LOL.
I think a) because my sisters were older & parents both worked and b) because Chris was always in the military and had the 1 weekend/mo., 2 weeks/year thing away, I'm used to being alone. When he left the military, I really missed that 1 weekend/mo. of alone or girl time!
I have about a three day threshold of missing. The first two days feel like freedom & I love some alone time. That second night is a little tough. The third day I officially hit "really miss him" state.
I miss Roy more than I miss Sig Fig.
Like Swami says, the days don't seem to be lonely. But keep wondering why no one is yelling up the stairs at me "I though you were going to sleep". This is because I get tired early and go to bed, but usually have enough energy to read for a while. However, to some, saying I am going to bed seems to mean I will put the light out and go to sleep right away. He frets way to much.
