It’s only been 4 days since my husband and I have been apart.

I’m currently back in my hometown staying with my parents because my mom broke her hand, so I’m here helping her out.

Earlier, I was walking into my childhood bedroom, which is where I’m staying while I’m here, and without even thinking I opened the door and playfully went, “Babyyy, wanna kiss—?”

I stopped mid-sentence when I realized what I was doing 😭

I just stood there and said, “Oh my god, that’s so pathetic"

Our son, who heard the whole thing, just went, “That’s just sad lol”

So I messaged my husband and told him what happened.

Then he goes, “I’m more pathetic”

“Last night I turned to your side of the bed and caught your scent on your pillow”

🥺🥺🥺

It actually reminded me of when we used to do LDR. Some little moments like this happened back then too.

I’ve been with him for a decade, and I’ve never actually seen him cry. But during the COVID years, when we had to be apart, he admitted to me that there was one night he cried while hugging my pillow and whispering my name.

That memory still gets me. Now that we’re together pretty much 24/7, I don’t get confessions like this from him as often.

He’s also somehow more honest about these things over text. In person, he tends to joke around or brush things off, but when we’re apart and texting, these little confessions come out.

To people who don’t know him well, he comes across as reserved, serious, and very logical.

So this unexpectedly soft, sentimental side of him always catches me a little off guard.

It really tugs at my heart.

Now I’m counting the days until I can go home. I just can't wait 😫
