What do you do when your husband works nights? how can I sleep in the same bed and live in the same house with a guy I can't grab hold of when I have bad dream or get cold?

    I understand how you feel and most importantly when you do have time with him ... hug him dearly. I feel for you and I can relate to that. Thanks for sharing this.

    You'd just have to accept it then , he's working hard for the family and you shouldn't add on more to his stress than he already has :)

    I've been marrried 32 years to a man who now works at night! I've never been so happy! No snoring, no blanket stealing, no threat of sex...LOL But, that's just me after the marital fray of decades together. I used to feel like you do so I empathize.

    I want sex, i want morning sex again, I want his stupid breakfasts, I want the warmth of a mans body next to me, I want to slip my feet between his legs, I liked that... I miss it...

    it is most severe.

    i hate sleeping alone.

    always did.

    my ex worked full-time nights.

    he loved it that way.

    sleeping when i was up. awake when i was not.

    one of the many reasons why we are not together anymore

    cuddling pillows helps. taking herbal teas with passion flowers helps. even dogs or small children cuddling helps. but nothing replaces him next to you ever.

    is he going to be on nights forever?

    what will you settle for?

    only you can sleep alone. only you can suffer. only he can change it. hugsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss......
