Does you Partner Work Offshore or Work Away Regularly?

Hi, My partner has taken on a job where he is contracted every 2nd month to work abroad. I have a mixed mind about this as at the beginning I was dreading him going away all of a sudden. This is the third time he has gone away and in the first week of him gone I usually feel great to have my own personal time for just a bit so I can read and watch my "girlie" tv shows. But then because I don't really have any friends or people I can call up and hang out with I get incredibly lonely and down on a regular basis which isn't good for me.

This is what he wants to do and its great experience for his career, but I get the feeling like I can't live this way and question every time if we should just end the relationship even though its going so well.

Is anyone else in a similar situation and how do you cope with this? Does it get easier?

He also can get called away at anytime its quite distressing for me.

Lisa
