Two Ships Passing in the Night

Two Ships Passing in the Night, have you ever heard that saying?  I have heard it while growing up.  But until yesterday I hadn’t gave that much saying much thought.

I have to go back to last week to really explain.  I’m not going to go into real detail but I will cover the basics.  Almost every day last week my husband had something he needed to do.  So between work & running errands, we were like two ships passing in the night.  I mean I was working online, which has given me true Freedom from having a boss.  But between trying to get some work done, my husband working his 9-5 JOB & running his errands he had to do.  We where two ships passing in the night.

He had to work Saturday, so again we where two ships passing in the night.  Cause we didn’t really have much time to spend together because of work & more errands.

I thought for sure this week would be better & we would to spend some time together.  But guess what we both had even more errands to run than we had last week.  So again for most of this week we have been two ships passing in the night.  My husband didn’t have to work this weekend, but I have a 90th Birth Day party to attend today.  So again we are like two ships passing in the night, over the weekend. 

You know I guess the saying “Two Ships Passing in the Night” does have some true meaning, but I’m not sure what that is.  I think it means that two people are passing one another & never know the other is there.  I do think I will look it up while I’m writing this & see what the internet say’s about the saying two ships passing in the night.

So knowyourphrase.com say’s  Meaning:   Commonly said about tow people who meet for a short time, share a few words, only to separate and continue on their way, never to see each other again.
Origin:  The ocean is a big place, so what are the odds of two ships sailing directly past each other?  I have no idea, but it’s probably not very high.. etc. etc.  I suppose if you’d like to read the rest you can go to the website & finish reading. LOL

So what about you?  Do you get those days or weeks where it feels like you & your spouse are just two ships passing in the night.  I’m hoping for a much better next week, I’m not sure if I can take much more of two ships passing in the night.  Of course we still love each other very much, but when we have had a chance to sit talk, it seems like so much has went on since the last time we talked.  That we aren’t able to get everything out we wanted to say to one another.
