Estar de Rodríguez

[ROBINDESBOIS]

How do we say estar de Rodriguez , to estar de Rodriguez means be home alone and the husband or wife are away.
I heard she is bacheloring or baching, is that right? Or how do we say it?

(That might be a USA invention I suppose, but I've never heard it.) It means to be left on one's own. She was left on her own while the family went on holiday.

While the wife is away, it can be said that the husband is "baching (it)." The verb was created from the shortened form of the noun 'bachelor' and it means to behave as if one were a bachelor (when one is married). It can be pejorative or not (depending on what kind of behavior is indulged).

While the husband is away, it can be said that the wife is "widowed," but I don't think there is a verb form. We usually include another adjective to give a reason why she is widowed, like "She's a sports widow" (the husband watches every football game for hours at a time, or is out playing sports a lot), or "She's a deer widow" (while the husband is out hunting). If the husband is gone a lot due to work, the wife can be called a "work widow." If he's gone every weekend, we say the wife is a "weekend widow."

"Grass widow" is a term I found, but have never personally heard it used. It means a wife whose husband is away for a prolonged period of time.
