That's why I have a monstrous dog. But I hate when H is gone too, until 8 pm hits and the kid goes to bed and the tv is mine and I can play whatever video game strikes my fancy and I can do anything else that my heart desires. LOL.
Plus, I read your title as "so my h is hot" and I came in looking for a pip. HA
I hate hate hate being alone. I freak the eff out. Before we moved it wasn't a big deal, but now, living in an old creaky house in a forest with few neighbours? Yeah. Sucks.

I do the same exact thing. My dog doesn't help either, she's more afraid of noises than I am. Usually, I just leave every single light on and keep the pointy umbrella by the door, because somehow, in my crazed mind, an umbrella would ward off an intruder.
we have four dogs and an alarm system, but i am still a paranoid freak when h is gone. after i let the dogs out for the last time at night (usually around 9) i put the two up who sleep in crates and the other two and myself go in the bedroom w/ my supplies (carafe of water, flashlight, land line phone) where i lock the door. i don't come out until 6 or 7 in the morning. i sleep off and on and leave the t.v. on to drown out any noises i may hear.
I wish I could talk DH into a fur-baby. His psycho ex was like Molly Shannon's character in Year of the Dog so I'm SOL for awhile.
Plus we live in a condo and I hate to have a pet in such a small area. And DH is allergic to cats.
I don't know if I'm lucky or not but DH only has to travel 1x a year for his job and I'm only alone for one week in January. I usually lock myself in my bedroom once it gets dark. I am such a chicken!

I hate being alone at home too.. I just recently started living alone ( I`m getting married in a few months so this is only temporary) but i ABHOR going home to an empty apartment... I leave all the lights on and freak out when I hear something in the hallway, lol
I used to feel like this before I had a dog, and when I lived in the city. My dog is pretty badass.
i'm the opposite. i got used to living in the city and was perfectly fine being alone in our apt./townhouse when we were in dc. i'm just out of my element in a rural area and surrounded by woods.
It's pretty disgraceful b/c I lived on my own for a while and never was this much of a pansy. Though, it was also in college and I was drunk all the time, so maybe that's why.
H travels for work every week Monday through Thursday. It can get to be a bit much, but I don't mind it nearly as much as I thought I would. I think I may lose my mind when we have kids though.
My H is a police officer so he works a lot of nights. I used to sit in the recliner where I could see both the front and back door with my 9mm on the end table beside me and all the lights on. I have actually calmed down some and sleep in our room with the door locked, tv on, and 9mm on the night stand. Progress people....

OMG! That is just hilarious!
DH wants to buy/own a gun and teach me to shoot but guns just scare the shit out of me! I just have these crazy visions in my head that I would miss my aim or it would misfire and I hurt someone UN-intentionally.
