Hi all, so my boyfriend is currently in turkey for 2 weeks and I’m really struggling being on my own with our 1 year old daughter, I just feel like I’m failing as a mother I’m trying my hardest but I’m really struggling I just can’t stop crying I miss him so much, how am I supposed to cope for 10 more days, has anyone else gone through this, it’s so annoying because I just think would he be out there all emotional because he misses me? Absolutely not, I keep worrying about silly things like him cheating on me ( even though he’s on a family holiday) I’m just so anxious at the moment and feel so depressed 😔

I’m sorry you’re feeling like this. My husband goes on business trips every couple months, usually to the US. This time he has been gone for 10 days and it has felt long! I have a 2.5 year old and a 10 month old.
I fill my diary up and have a plan for each day. We go to soft play, go to the play ground, have play dates. We also go out for dinner once or twice, so the playground and then an early dinner at pizza express etc.
I also eat with the kids so I don’t have to eat alone. And I binge on my tv shows!
I believe in fake it till you make it. It is a mindset. You can do this and you are doing the best you can. Yes you might need to cry for a minute but then remember your little family and that it won’t be long!

Its never good sign when people go abroad on there own in a realtionship ... even if its part of there job they basically can get upto what ever they want I wouldnt go out or marry someone who has there lives spending it away ... yes people say its about trust but its not it means they want two lives wife or gf that does everything whilst he goes does what ever work gamble sex drinking partying money showmen ship fighting all them factors then they get family style as well they think its okay but you can't be family person if your spending it separately... you might aswell be on ya own how much are they helping as family dad or mum you have to ask yourself would you do that yourself to them ... would you go abroad and leave your kid with just one parent expecting that one to do everything .... your better been with someone who you can rely on and trust and respects what family means ... I know what this feels like I do but you got make them realise they had child to and they should be the one that also

Has to take responsibility as parent to be there question yourself .. would you do what they done weather its holiday or work related would you go leave then expect other parent to do all the hard work no it takes two to bring child up ... why would you go on holiday abroad when you have 1 year old

If I was you when he gets back you go away leave him with the child give yourself break see how he likes it not right
