Sleeping Alone

The idea of not having Samuel next to me every night has always been difficult for me. I have always struggled to go to sleep without him in bed with me, even if he is just in the lounge.
The last two weeks he has been very busy with work and bringing work home. I have been going to bed earlier than him most nights for past 2 weeks and this week he is away for work so I am completely on my own. Well, I'm going to sleep completely fine! So quick I'm falling asleep before I remember to pray (we pray together before sleep most nights). I thought that going to sleep without him would take a while to get used to but it only took two weeks!

Would it be different if I knew he was with another woman though? That's the big question.
 
That is terrific, Sarah! You allowed yourself to adjust to a change and found that you were stronger than you thought. I know knowing he is with someone else will be a bit strange but I believe that if you give yourself the time that too will be "okay". :)
 
Naughty naughty Mark, in the ladies section! ;)

Thanks Julie!The more I think of him with another woman the more I am ok with it too. It seems so natural and right. I kinda wish God would send him someone else now but I know it's not the right time.

Very sorry ladies. My page comes up with all active topics, and I have been sick for a few days. Thus, not able to discern terribly well. Please accept my humblest apologies. I will make my wife read this one now, LOL

All good Mark, completely understandable. I hope you and your son get better soon.
 
My issue has never been sleeping alone. In fact....my hubby was a milk man for several years and I'm a night owl so there were MANY nights a week we didn't sleep together at all. Some nights I didn't go to bed until after he had slept, got up and left for work. We sleep together more now that he is at the new career and we have a small child then in our early years. I don't think I will have a problem sleeping alone because I'm so used to it.
I know I will struggle with the thought of HIM not being alone but I will also remind myself that she will have nights with the very same struggle and I will pray for her and I KNOW God will show me how to deal with it all.
