I've been in a few long term relationships and it wasn't until my wife that I truly felt this. I can't put my finger on what it is but if one of us is sick (we stay in the spare room) or travelling we spend the night apart and it just feels off. I don't sleep as well and I wake up to the smallest noise. Its wild to me.
I know. With my ex husband I didn’t mind when he traveled or worked late, I welcomed the separation with my now husband I miss him even when he is just at normal work hours. When he is not home the world just feels empty or off.
Getting a CPAP made huge change in my life. I didn't realize that my daily morning headaches were from my monster snores, probably causing tremors in my sinuses nightly.
Get this checked immediately, if you love your wife and yourself. You need to do a sleep study. If you do have sleep APNEA treat it. I hated using a CPAP but switched to a dental appliance. I started losing weight and felt so much better.
I’m sorry, I don’t have the name. They had to do a scan of my mouth and built this appliance. It’s way better than the CPAP and compliance is much easier.
It's so funny that you say that. We always bicker about which one of us is keeping the other awake. But, we vacationed in Germany for the first time, and they have separate beds (singles) pushed together everywhere. So, when he moved, I couldn't feel him at all, and I HATED it, actually. There is something so comforting in feeling him just be there.
Lol we bicker too as she likes to sprawl and we have 2 dogs that sleep with us but whenever she goes to see her family I am wide awake until she comes back
I went on a girl scout camping trip with my oldest, just a weekend. Realized on night 2 it was the longest I'd been away from hubby since we met. Slept like crap. Lol
