I guess that’s just the reality of it.. once you live with someone for a while, you don’t mind it if they go away for a bit – on business or an overnight trip. There was chatter this morning about how one girl said it will be really hard for her when her boyfriend leaves for 3 weeks on business. Someone made an emphatic comment “you don’t live together do you?” and the tone of that question said it all. She said that when her husband goes away, her first reaction is: “yes, I get the bed to myself!” and another said the same thing. They don’t mind at all when their husband/boyfriend goes away. And I know that is normal. I just dread the day when I say to myself, “I’m sick of you being around so much, I am so glad you are leaving”.

Perhaps I am being naïve. But is it bad to not want to feel that way towards someone? To anyone?
