Hey, I just want to know how women cope when there partners go away for days on end to work. I have a great loving relationship with my partner. He moved over from Ireland to be with me, we were together almost constantly until he got himself work, I'm happy that he got this work, it has left us feeling more like a successful family unit. He had some on going treatment when he first came over and was going back and forth to Ireland to get this finished. It was hard for me to contact him when he was away and after not hearing from him for three days I brought a ticket an went to ireland... When he found out I was on my way he was delighted, I met all his family an ended up staying a week,

Since then he spent Three nights in a hospital due to a stomach ulcer. I did miss him, but managed to get up an see him every day.

Now only a few day after coming home from hospital he returned to work, He had been signed off work by the doctor for two weeks but insisted we needed the money. His boos phoned and asked if he would stay over night if he had to at his next job, This job started on Wednesday. That night when I gave him a call to see how he was doing an wish him goodnight he told me that he was on his own in a flat an there was no electric, no heating, no nothing apart from a sofa which he had to sleep on. I was in shock that he would be left like that, he usually would stand up for himself. But for what ever reason he let this slip, The next day when I phoned him he told me that he would prob be finished Friday, Friday is his birthday so I was happy we would get to spend that day together.

Then Friday he tells me he won't be bk till Monday, He was out ov money, out ov smokes, cold, hungery and tired, He hadn't taken enough medication with him as he only planned to stay one or two nights. On Monday when I phoned expecting him home at lunch time it was apparent that he wouldn't be home till well after our little girl was in bed. He tells me that he did go mad at his boss, then in the next breath he tells me that he is going to have to go bk another night to finish off the last bits... so he got home at 9.30pm lastnight, and left for another night there today, at 10.30 thismorning,

I am in a fit ov rage that he has put himself bk in a situation that he moaned about for the past week. An I can't believe he has agreed to spend another night there.
