Don't get Kristy Lee Cook and Carly Smithson wrong: each American Idol finalist is thrilled to be on tour this summer.

But each also confided to TV Guide that it's hard on their relationships.

Kristy Lee, who got engaged during Season 7 to Andrew Dobner, said she hasn't seen her man at all.

"I get to see him on the 10th, but I don't know if he's going to any of the other shows," she said. "It's tough. We've had a few 'moments,' because he doesn't understand what's going on, but he's starting to get the picture when I'm like, 'I can't handle this!' But he's getting the picture that he needs to be supportive. He's starting to come around."

Smithson also admitted that her ongoing tour and rehearsal schedule has been hard for both her and her husband.

"The whole [thing of] not being able to hang out with him as much is just awful. For me, [L.A.'s] my last city where I'm going to get to see him," she said.

However, Smithson also sees the humor in some of the Idols' whirlwind lives: "He's been amazingly understanding. Like 'I can't talk to you right now. I'm putting on an eyelash.' Weird things like that!"
