Did your wife go on a business trip, a two-day vacation or longer? She may have started military service, entered a rehabilitation clinic, or ended up in prison. Whatever the reason for your forced separation, you need to learn how to deal with it and you are in the right place to do it!
Steps
Step 1. Get ready
There's nothing wrong with crying if you know your wife is about to walk away. Just remember that his departure isn't the end of the world and make sure you don't procrastinate. Farewell day may seem a long way off, but you will need a lot of time to prepare.
Step 2. Plan something special before you leave
Go to dinner at her favorite restaurant or take her to the cinema to see that movie she's been talking about for months. Enjoy the moments together and let her know how much she will miss you!
Step 3. There is nothing wrong with expressing emotions on the day of departure
However, don't make her feel guilty about her absence. If she thinks you're mad at her, she'll worry about you and won't be able to enjoy the ride or focus on work.
Step 4. Get distracted after departure
Organize a movie marathon, read some comics or a good book. Don't think too much about the absence of your loved one.
Step 5. If you wish, you can contact your wife when you are away
Remember that she is busy, whether for work or trying to relax. Constant interruptions can prolong the distance. Call or write her to say goodnight and show her that you think about her. If you call them during the day, try to be short.
Step 6. Create a countdown
Mark half of your wife's trip on your calendar. Gradually get to the first half, marking each passing day. Once you get to the middle, the second part will get easier.
Step 7. Try to fill your days instead of staying home and breaking down
Plan something with friends and family, or take care of the chores you keep putting off. Even if your budget limits prevent you from doing something special every day, the new experiences will give you something to share with your wife when she returns and fill your days with happiness.
Step 8. Maintain a positive attitude
If you think positive, you will be happy.
Step 9. Consider that the distance increases the feeling, but don't take advantage of it
Try to improve yourself when your wife is away. You lose bad habits and start following the diet you have been thinking about for a long time. When she comes back you can introduce her to a new version of you.
Step 10. Give yourself time to cry
You will feel relieved and stronger, as you will discharge the suppressed emotions that will no longer burden you.
Advice
- Always checking your phone doesn't make it ring more often.
- Don't constantly think about your wife and don't call her ten times a day to find out how she is. It doesn't help to make her come back sooner.
- Don't be grumpy when he comes back. Immediate quarrels will erase the affection born during the journey.
- Emails are a great way to contact your wife when she is away. They allow you to say more than just a short text or a phone call, and she can read them when she has the time.
