Worried

I know we have talked a bit before about fears and stuff, but do any of you get really worried when your significant other is out? Whenever Daniel goes anywhere (not around town, but out of town driving somewhere) I spend the whole evening quietly worrying that something will happen (car crash) and he won't come home. I am almost waiting for a policeman to turn up on my doorstep I'm fine if he texts me when he gets there and when he leaves, but he usually forgets or is out of range. Tonight he has gone up the bay, left at 6 and was meant to text when he got there but didnt. I sent a message but no reply. My rational mind is saying he is most likely our of range, but still sitting here worried. Is this normal, or is it starting to go a bit far (like getting so worked up I cry, not always but has happened)?

Its normal... I do that too...

My DH travels a heck of a lot. Like in 2.5 yrs he has done 77thou k's. and he does things like travel to Tauranga and back in a day (i.e. leave at 6 home at 6..) that kind of thing. He has had this job for 6 yrs and I still freak out when he travels.....

My "thing" that I do is donate to the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Trust...I figure the year that I dont donate will be the year he needs it....

Big hugs Aimee! I am exactly the same! Whenever I hear there's been a truck involved in an accident I ring Willie immediately, and I've been known to call his dispatcher and make them call him on the RT if he doesn't answer his phone

I worry about my family too, when I'm staying at Mum and Dad's I stay up and worry myself sick if my sister stays out too late, yet when I'm here I have no idea how late she is so I don't worry.

Completely irrational - and completely normal!

So not just you Aimee. Whenever DH goes away I am very worried when he either doesn't answer his phone or takes a while to respond to a txt.

I worry if Dh is out and I text him but dont hear back - usually its because he has put it on silent then left it somewhere where he cant fel the vibrations. But it always me worry heaps, then i get angry.

oh Aimee.... I am the same. Today I was phoning Atish and his phone says inactive...I started to stress as he was feeling unwell with tummy bug at work and said he was going home. I was thinking ok why would the damn thing say inactive?? I phoned and phoned and then I just drove home at lunch and there he was. Arrgggg. So we found out that vodafone is having some problems.

And you having preggy hormones also helps. Big hugs!!

It's not rational but women aren't rational

I do. I'm getting better, but if it seems unusually long that DH has been out, the thoughts go through my mind. Of course I tell myself how silly it is, but I can't help but feel a little relieved when he's home

i worry about dh when he is late home from work - he takes a scooter to work and i always imagine him having an accident or some stupid car driver ignoring him on it.... then i get REALLY ratty when he does get home...

LOL Chovynz - thats what I was thinking. I worry if hubby has been away longer than he says and doesn't answer phone or texts and when he does get home - all happy and alive - I am so pi$$ed with him for making me worry and not answering my calls or texts... It's kinda funny.

That would ease your worries?
