The grudge of a weekend spouse

Pregnancy hormone has started to hit me hard these last few weeks. Well, mostly at home, where i am very pissy most times. And dear hubby has to bear the grunts and constant sulking i have.

But spending time away doesn't help either. I crave attention when he is home during weekends. And i am jealous of baby M for all these attention that we have given, to make sure that M has all that is needed. And because raising a baby is not cheap, we (or maybe ME) would spend hours everyday on researching for the best deals or planning for M's future already.

Why is this so hard now when we previously embarked on this marriage with me being away in Pasir Gudang Johor Bahru for a good few years. I was a weekend wife. We just spent a good 1 year living together before his project kicked off in full speed and now he is making his weekly travel to Pasir Gudang.

I guess staying alone is hard. Never really thought it through when i insisted that we have a place to finally call our own last year. It does feel quiet here.

So they say that when you marry an oil&gas professionals, these are the kind of emptiness that you have to bear with. You should expect far away posting so that you would be able to enhance your career progression. Hard work pays off, and the further you go, the more you learn. So expect to work in remote city in Sudan, Turkmenistan or Angola, because there is where the bulk of the money is made for the company. Be mentally ready.

I am trying hard to get myself ready now. But this loneliness is killing me. Need. to. keep. myself. ready.

Can't wait to have this precious soul to accompany me when daddy is not around. Have a safe trip sayang, cause we love you.
