history: I felt really alone when my husband went to work out of state for a few weeks. My husband hangs steel and the last time he had to go work in another state I felt really lost and alone for a bit.
current: I feel the same way when I'm away from my cat.  Does he have to travel a lot for work?
next: Sometimes he does.  Lately there hasn't been any local work so he has had to go out of state and its just too far to come back.
