"What is it like for you when Sean is away at rodeo's? Do you get lonely?"
Well this is a difficult question to answer without sounding like a total jerk, but I LOVE it when Sean is away!! Don't get me wrong here, I love my husband and I enjoy his company but man.. living with one person and being around them is hard!!
You see, I'm selfish and when he isn't home I get to Watch what I want to on TV instead of the Hunting channel or Southpark. I get to sleep in the middle of the bed all sprawled out with Banjo on one side and Birdie on the other and I don't have to hear Sean snore. I don't have to cook, I don't have to do his dirty cow poop laundry, I don't have to hear him blow that stupid duck call that hurts my ears, and I don't have to listen to him talk on the phone to his buddies about hunting and rodeoing. I can just hang out with my girl friends and be as selfish as I want!
The only thing I miss is him taking out the trash and when I need to lift heavy objects, which is why when he gets home there is a heap of trash on the back porch. :) Really though, It takes about three days before I'm tired of being by myself and I start missing being able to curl up with him on the recliner and watch Criminal Minds and House.
Sean and I have the type of relationship where I do my thing, he does his thing, and occasionally we'll meet in the middle and do stuff together. We both enjoy our alone time and like our own hobbies. We aren't the type of couple that you see together 24/7 and we like the freedom we allow each other. We have 100% trust in our relationship and I wouldn't have it any other way!
Oh and when Sean is away, I'm never lonely because Banjo and Birdie keep me company!!
I hope this answers your questions!! Thanks for asking!!

Sounds good to me!! :-) I agree with you, it is nice to watch what YOU want to watch and sprawl out on the bed. Sounds like you're in the perfect marriage for what works for both of you!
I am glad your okay being on your own. I tend to miss Chris when he is not around.
Don't get me wrong I love my "me time" and a girls night out as much as anyone else. But when I know that he is missing one Kyle's ballgames(he missed seeing Kyle hit his 1st homerun about 3 years ago and I cried!) or the 4 wheeler is messed up or Kyle does something funny and Chris is not there to see it just breaks my heart. And I know Chris misses us just as much too.
But I do agree on the trust issue. If you don't have that...then all is lost for the marriage!
Too cute! There are definitely some perks! :)
Didi!
Aw! I think it's cool that Got put y'all together - you w/ someone who also does his own thing! You know? I would just be really soooo saddy w/o brad! Silly me! Haha! We haven't been apart since we've been married (overnight, i mean!). I'm sure we will eventually, i love to travel & he doesn't really! LOL.
It was me that asked!!! I didn't realize that I should have left my name or email huh?? I'm such a dork! =)
Great answer! It's cool that you guys have that kind of relationship. It took me about 3 years of being married before I actually started enjoying being away from my hubby. We had a long distance relationship for most of our dating years (4½) so when we got married I hated being away from him. But, after a few years, it's nice to get away for a day or two and I don't even really miss him that much. That also may be because now we have 2 kids, so I'm never lonely!!
My husband and I have been together for 10 years, married for 6, and I like my alone time too. Of course, he's not gone like your husband is for rodeos, but I think it's important to have your separate interests, as well as together ones. I completely trust him and vice versa...he could go to a strip club and it wouldn't bother me (he wouldn't though, as that's not his thing). I don't like him to be gone too much, as we now have 3 kids and I need help, but I think it's healthy in a relationship to be able to be on your own sometimes.
