10 years and no, 4 days I wouldn’t madly miss him. Lockdown has been so intense that we all need a break from each other. I am also an introverted person, which I think also makes a difference.

Totally agree. Feel you need some space from time to time - just to break from routine.
For me, more so about that than getting away from them. Plus, my SO have always been big on independence.

I don’t usually miss her the first few days, but after a while, it reminds me how grateful I am for her.

Together for five years, married for one, and yes, I think I would, but not desperately so. I’m looking forward to some upcoming long weekends apart because we need it, but I know I’ll still miss him at least a bit.

That said, don’t gauge your relationship by how other people feel in theirs. I don’t think it’s abnormal at all not to miss someone after only 4 days, especially when you know you’ll see them soon, AND you’re the one busy with traveling.

No, this is actually healthy. Longer, yes.

Yeah to be honest. I’m not crying but I’m bored. They make life crazy and it’s not the same without them. Couple caveats: we’re getting married this month, and if it’s a production I’m just straight up too busy to have any emotions haha.

Been together for 15, living together for 24.5, married for 11.

I usually miss her after a day or two. First day or two is always a relief. For both of us

Not really. I miss her more when she travels and I’m just home alone. When I’m traveling I don’t miss her that much. For a longer period of time, 5+ days, I would miss her but not desperately, urgently so.

Mine leaves to see his mom out west in two weeks. I’m so excited. I will miss him, probably from the moment he leaves, but more in a “I can’t wait to see him again soon” way rather than desperately. Then that goes away and I’m left with “ahhh, what to do/watch/read first!” It’s nice to enjoy your independence, esp post lockdown. I will immediately miss him cleaning the litter boxes for our two cats though! 😂

You’re overthinking.

My SO and I don’t live together; I didn’t see her for about 14 months.

I would miss my SO but I don’t think this alone should be concerning for you. These are weird times.

The whole bed to myself!
After a few days I do miss him, especially travel prior was heavy with lots of small trips, at some point the scale just tips and I miss him. But a few nights of watching Netflix in bed with a snack? All good, baby, all good.
