Feeling a little sad - partner other side of the world

[Sparkly222]

Hi ladies

Feeling a bit sad and stuff this evening. I dropped my partner off at the airport on Saturday - he's now in Sri Lanka (for the cricket test match in Colombo) for a week. I've only 5 weeks to go till baby girl arrives. I know how much he loves cricket but I really needed him to be here with me now. I would be heart broken if the baby arrives early while he is away. He is soooo far away - it would take him 12 hours to fly back plus a bit more for stopover in Dubai.

I didn't want to stop him going as I didnt want him to resent me for stopping him but I sooo wish that he had come to the decision himself not to go when he could see how sad it was making me. I had hoped that we would go on a holiday together while I could still fly but he said he could only take one week off work and he wanted to go to the cricket.

Sorry for the moan but it's making me feel really down, him being so far away and what if something happened to him

Also the night before he went, his ex wife phoned and I could hear her on the phone ( she has an incrediblyy loud voice!) and she wanted to know how his 18 and 17 year old kids from their marriage would get their inheritance and his business if he died in Sri Lanka!!! It really upset me.

I know he loves me and the bump - just finding I feel down in the evenings while he is away. Hopefully will feel better tomorrow xxx Sparkly

I'm sorry, that really sucks. Hope you do feel better tomorrow, and who knows, maybe you'll enjoy having some alone time? My mate left for several days recently, and I was worried I was going to need him, or just feel needy, but I actually ended up enjoying the solitude. Though I'm not due in 5 weeks or anything.
