fiance going to work away..?

hi

im looking for some comfort i guess :) from any women out there who are/have been in my situation.

we have an 8 month old and my partner has just been given a job in the mines on a two weeks on two weeks off roster. its great money and a great oppurtunity, so i wouldnt stop him from doing it. and i know two weeks isnt really a long time, but ive never really lived alone, and im just freaking out a little bit. ive never liked being by myself at night, i know ill have my baby, but i feel protected and safe with my man here! i want to feel strong for our daughter, i want her to feel secure and safe... but i dont even feel secure!!

so im wondering, if anyone else has this living arangement, how long did it take you to get used to it, am i just worried about nothing, and do u have any helpful hints for getting used to it a bit faster and not listening for every little noise at night!?!

(i know some women lose their hubbys for months / a yr at a time in the army etc, i take my hat off to you because i could never do it - so sorry if i do sound a little pathetic moaning about 2 weeks at a time but like i say, its something ive never had to experience!)

:) xx
