How much time do you spend with your partner?

Aw - that sounds hard. Could he contact if he wanted to and just doesn't, or is he physically unable too? I'd struggle with that, i hated it when my DH spent 6 months regularly working away.

We spend 7pm till midnight together, but not often in the same room. And most weekends, mostly we are happy with it. I'd like To go out more, but don't get the chance often at all.

That's tough for you both. Wishing the 4 months pass quick and you get to speak on Christmas day.

That's really sweet of you, thanks!

We spend a fair bit of time together I think. Most evenings and weekends, although we both have fitness commitments at the minute that eat into this. However a lot of that time is spent in the same space but not necessarily interacting, he'll be working, I'll be on the internet etc. Depends how you define together really

I work a regular working week but my other half sometimes works lates and due to his job is required to work overseas quite regularly for about 10 days at a time which we find really stressful. Otherwise we spend pretty much all our time together on evenings and weekends, he's my best friend and there is no one I would rather spend my time with than him. I'll sometimes go out for a meal with the girls and he sometimes does things like mountain biking after work but apart from that we are together as much as possible.

about 3 hours a week

If we are lucky, two full days a week, he's a week out lorry driver, so some weeks he's out Monday and back on Friday evening (somtimes Saturday morning), other weeks he can be leaving on a Sunday afternoon (like this week).

Probably not as much as I feel we should. I normally have fitness class at least once a week, plus writers' group every other week, so that's two evenings out every week, and then maybe once or twice a month each we'll go out separately with friends or work colleagues (and generally that's not the same night). Plus maybe one Saturday a month I might take myself off to the shops for a wander and a browse - he hates shopping though so it's best to leave each other to it!

The rest of the time (apart from work) we do spend together though, either just the two of us or with friends. The only thing I would like to change in that regard is maybe doing the going out as just us thing more often and having a 'date night' so to speak, as I don't feel like we do that often enough.

That said we are about to go travelling round the world for eight months and will be with each other pretty much 24/7! We don't really argue though (or if we do it's only about silly little things) so whilst I'm not expecting it all to be perfect and fully expect us to have an argument over something really dumb on the trip I'm confident that we'll be OK.

Not enough.

I work days 8-3 and he's working 6 nights a week at the moment 6pm - 6am. I see him for about 5 mins in the morning as he gets into bed and i get out to sort the kids out and get ready for work and then for about an hour and a half in the evening . Saturday is his day off and he sleeps until lunch time and then just wants to relax in the afternoon (can't really blame him) then its back into work 6pm Sunday evening. Luckily it's only for another few weeks then he's working 4 days on 6 off. Can't wait to spend some time with him.

we are together 24/7, husbands disabled and I'm his carer so thats the way it is. we are'nt isolated though and try and get out and about as much as possible. Couldnt bear to be married to someone I didnt want to be with almost all of the time.
