In cultures with a tradition of adventuring, there is often a yearly tragedy in which families are temporarily split up because some of the men have to be away trading, or fighting or bringing animals to market or the like. This brings in the character known as My Girl Back Home. She is almost Always Female (hence the title), though a child or an old man would work. The male version of Girls Back Home waiting for female adventurers are only a recent storytelling innovation, as adventuring was mostly masculine work in most cultures and time periods and stories reflected that. Girls Back Home tend to be spouses or lovers though anyone with whom the character in question has a close relationship will do. Expect a Girl Back Home to be The Woobie, though she will likely hide her emotions under a shell of stoicism, at least until she is alone. In the meantime, they will always worry about her and feel guilty for leaving. That never persuades him to stay home, of course, because otherwise we won't have a story. Another trait of Girls Back Home is that they often occupy only a small part of the story except in the thoughts of The Hero. Also, no matter what happens, if you have a girl back home, DON'T show a photo of her to anyone! Related to I Will Wait for You and Long-Distance Relationship (although that one is a bit more gender-neutral in who gets left behind). You may have to return abruptly for You Have Waited Long Enough. Compare and contrast Dad's Off Fighting in the War. Aversion (sort of) of Battle Couple. |

Fire Emblem: Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia: Lukas has a lover waiting for him, as revealed in his DLC support with Python, although he admits that they might not actually be all that in love with each other, as Lukas doesn't actually miss her too much. His ending never mentions if he got married or not, so whether or not they did stay together is left ambiguous. Defied by Tatiana, who tells her boyfriend Zeke that she'd rather use her White Magician Girl skills in battle than wait for him back home. While Zeke isn't too happy to see her fighting, he understands her reasons and promises to protect her. Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem: Sirius (who is the same person as Zeke in the Echoes example above) plays this straight, returning to Archanea to fight on Nyna's behalf once more - yet returns to Valentia to reunite with Tatiana once his work is done. |

Luminosity: Edward Cullen of all people is a gender-inverted example in the first book, as Bella spends a lot of time going off alone for her secret plans as a Pro-Human Transhuman Rebel Leader. She'd like to simply bring him along, but has to keep things secret until she's laid a lot more groundwork, since unlike her, he's vulnerable to mind-reading by the Volturi leader Aro. Edward's not too happy about it either, but he understands. In the second book, Maggie has to leave Gianna at home while she goes to join up with the rebellion, due to the need for someone to take care of their toddler. |

Tolkien's Legendarium: The Lord of the Rings: The Gaffer and Rosie for Sam. Both Éowyn and Faramir are this while in the Houses of Healing. It is implied that the strain of being the girl/boy back home for their respective friends is what drew them together in the first place. They wound up happily married by the end of the series. Arwen is this for Aragorn. The Fall of Númenor: Deconstructed. Aldarion is Númenor's crown prince, but he loves sailing and exploring new lands above all things, and resents the way his wife Erendis wants to keep him perpetually tied to their homeland and her. For her part, Erendis hates his husband's love for the sea and his years-long absences from home. At the end, their marriage breaks down when Aldarion spends five years overseas and Erendis decides she has gotten sick of being a mariner's wife. |

The song "My Girl Back Home" in South Pacific. Possible Trope Namer. The song was cut from the original production, but was used in the film and has been reinstated for the 2008 revival. Ironically the hero was singing that to rationalize cheating on his girl back home. | |

The trope gets Played With in the WWI serial "Golden Eyes" and Her Hero "Bill", which follows the adventures of American girl "Golden Eyes," her dough-boy sweetheart Bill, and their Canine Companion Uncle Sam during the first world war. The comic was published concurrently with the end of the war, between 1918 and 1919, showing the interesting ways authors were playing off the trope even a century ago: Played Straight at first with protagonist "Golden Eyes," whose boyfriend Bill enlists in the war effort and leaves her behind to care for his dog and Keep the Home Fires Burning. She does at first, selling Liberty Bonds and and knitting socks for the war effort, but the trope gets Subverted when Golden Eyes joins the Red Cross and ships out to Europe to work as a medic on the frontlines. She and Bill are reunited in France, but as an ambulance driver Golden Eyes winds up in just as much danger as Bill when the Germans shell her ambulance, take her captive, and threaten her with public execution for espionage. She even runs nighttime search-and-rescue missions in No Man's Land (under active rocket fire, nonetheless) to recover wounded soldiers. Golden Eyes never quite grows into the role of Action Girl, but her active participation in the war effort turns the trope entirely on its head. Played Straight (and perhaps Exaggerated) again at the end of the series, when the joyous occasion of Bill and Golden Eyes' Wartime Wedding prompts their fellow American soldiers to think back on the girls they left behind. |

Auggie and Annie in Covert Affairs have each been this to each other. However, it is usually Auggie who is the Guy Back Home because Auggie is blind and episodes where this is reversed are rare. Sometimes they work together in the field on the same mission but this is also rare; more commonly Auggie is Mission Control. | |

Horatio Hornblower: Both of the wives of Horatio. Newlywed Hornblower is actually surprised to find he misses Maria since he married her out of pity, although not in books set later in his life because he dislikes her quite a lot by then. He does love and miss Barbara, though. | |

Towards the end of Blackadder Goes Forth Captain Darling reveals that he has a girlfriend, Doris, waiting for him back in England. Unfortunately, the final episode sees him reassigned to the front lines to take part in the "Big Push" across No-Man's Land. On arriving in the trenches he reveals he's made a list of things he'd planned to do once the war was over, the last of which is "Marry Doris". | |

In the Czech WW2 Dark Blue World (2001), the girl is more attracted to dashing fighter pilot Franta than the station master who serenades outside her window every night. But Franta has to go to England after the occupation of Czechoslovakia; when he returns, he finds she's married the station master and even his dog doesn't recognise him. He faces this stoically, along with his subsequent imprisonment by the Communist authorities for having served in a foreign air force. | |

The Aubrey-Maturin novel series, being a story of British Navy men, naturally has these for the lead characters - Jack Aubrey, of course, has his wife Sophie, and Stephen Maturin has Diana Villiers and, after Diana's death, Christine Wood. | |
