hi lilybella

i'm one of those people that does the bulk of the TWW (and most of the lead up to it) solo due to my DH's work commitments - and i'll be honest - it's DAMN hard emotionally - especially "thaw" day, and then the waiting. But my DH and i have an amazing telephone relationship - i can call him any time and just chat - so as much as he is not physically here, he is always only as far away as my phone. to be honest, if he were working in a job where i couldn't contact him whenever i needed, there is no way i'd attempt to do this while he's away.

But, as the other ladies have so wonderfully said - only YOU know how you will cope. only YOU can say whether you should go ahead, or whether, in the larger scheme of things, that extra month is going to make a difference. if this work thing is a one off, you may be better off waiting - if it may be semi-regular, you have to think about how much of your life you can put on hold until another time to fit around his job - do you live to work, or work to live?

whatever decision you make - BB and the fabulous support on offer here is ALWAYS available - we'll hold your hand if you're on your own - or we'll hold BOTH your hands if you wait for DH to be home - BB is my sanity saver!!
