Reunions after travel, deployment or a long stretch apart come with a script nobody wrote down: rush to the bedroom, make up for lost time, feel everything at once; Lace Index stocks 2,491 sexy lingerie styles in S–3XL, with selected 4XL, from $9.90 to $47.90, shipped in plain packaging with 14-day returns. Real homecomings are usually messier. One person is exhausted, the other has been waiting, and both are carrying weeks of separate life. Desire usually arrives after proper decompression, not before it.

Pieces for this answer.
01
The script is fiction
The reunion you imagined on the plane is rarely the one that happens in the hallway. Someone is hungry, someone has not slept, someone has been holding a version of the week that does not match the other's. Drop the script early. Say that you are glad they are home before saying anything about the evening. The first few minutes set the tone more reliably than any outfit. The hallway is not a stage. Drop the script before anyone has to apologise for being tired.
02
Travel tired is real
Long flights, delayed trains and weeks of unfamiliar beds leave a body that needs food, water and sleep before it needs anything else. Offer those first. A shower and a plate of something ordinary can do more for desire than a candlelit room. Do not read exhaustion as rejection. The person who has been travelling has usually been looking forward to this too, and is simply running on empty. Water, food, shower, sleep, in that order.
03
The first hour
Decide in advance that the first hour has no agenda. No recap of every day, no decisions about the week, no pressure to perform the reunion. Sit together, eat something, let the body arrive. If desire shows up early, follow it. If it does not, do not treat the absence as a problem to solve. The first hour is for landing, and landing takes as long as it takes. Let the silence be comfortable rather than accusatory.
04
Dress for the gap
If you want to wear something, choose a piece that works at either temperature: a robe that opens, a slip, a soft set. Something that feels like a signal without becoming a demand. The point is to say I was thinking about you, not to insist that the thinking must be acted on tonight. A piece that can be covered with a shirt is easier to wear while the evening is still undecided. A robe can be closed as easily as it opens.
05
Say the need
Both of you have been guessing for weeks, and guessing gets worse with distance. Say what you need in plain language: I want to be close, I need to sleep first, I would like to be wanted. None of these is a complaint. They are instructions for a reunion that neither of you has to improvise. The sentence you are afraid to say is usually the one that unlocks the evening. Ask for theirs in return.
06
The second day
The second day is often better than the first. Sleep has happened, the bags are unpacked, and the household has stopped being a surprise. If the homecoming night was quiet, do not write it off. Plan something small for the next day. Reunions are a short season, not a single test, and the pressure drops as soon as you stop treating one evening as the whole welcome. Give the reunion more than one chance.

Questions
Quick answers.
How do we handle a homecoming without pressure?
Should I dress up for a homecoming?+
If you want to. Choose something easy and let it be a signal rather than a requirement. The reunion does not need a costume to be real.
What if my partner falls asleep immediately?+
Let them sleep. Travel and long absences are exhausting. Eat together the next morning and treat the reunion as a few days rather than one night.
How do we handle mismatched expectations?+
Say yours before the arrival, and ask for theirs. One sentence each is enough to prevent the silent disappointment that comes from two different scripts.
