Mixed feelings

[Yvonne Belisle]

My husband's command has lots of extra money to spend before September so they have told everyone to put in for schools. We don't know when but they will be sending Naillosotarrain away for 3.5 months to school. It is good money and we need it and the training will help not just in the reserves but in the civilian world as well but I will miss him. I went through hell when he was gone for 2 weeks. This time I am not working so I don't need anyone to come and help me and that didn't work out so well when it did happen, so I don't have to worry about that but I will miss him. I will wake in the night and he will not be there to laugh with me or hold me. He won't be there when I am having a bad day to take some of the stress off of me. He won't be there to look into his eyes and laugh together at jokes or movies. This has me sitting here with mixed feelings this is really good for his future and our money but personally I will be miserable waiting for him to come home.

You'll get past it, really:) He will be coming back, and there is the net, letters and phones... and you will both be stronger for it:heartthro

Aw Honey. Just think of how much sweeter his return will be. :)

[Yvonne Belisle]

The return will be nice I have sworn to myself to lose weight while he is gone instead of pack it on

My Dad was career Air Force, and my parents have always had the marriage where my Dad would be gone for months at a time. Now my Dad's Mr. Corporate America, but still travels. If it helps any, from what I saw, the distance only brought them closer together. My Mom had some rough times, but she says she learned a lot from them.

I will send you good energy and hope that you two, like my parents, will find the absence goes fast and makes you realize how good your relationship is.

*soft smile* Just to put things in perspective.

Phoenix_Blue is stationed in Alabama and I'm here in Colorado. That's approximately 1500 miles away. Since we've started seeing each other over two years ago, we've spent a total of about 3 months together between our respective leave times and managing to scrape money together for flights.
Circumstances being what they are, neither one of us is able to move to be with the others. So there's a LOT of lonely nights in bed missing each other desperately with nothing but a phone line to connect us.

I don't get the hand holding and the holding in the night, if I want to laugh with him I have to pick up the phone and call. It's damn hard at times, but if anything the distance makes us appreciate each other all the more and look forward to the time when we will be together.

And Goddess only knows when that time will be. But at the very least I've got five more months to hope and pray that he'll be able to get a transfer. If not to Colorado than at least some place closer I can manage a move to.

So you see it's hard for me to have sympathy for you. It's only three and a half months. Sure you'll miss him, but this is a great opportunity for him and will also benefit you in the long run.

Take the time to get to know yourself and to do things for yourself a little. Encourage Naillosotarrain to take advantage of the opportunity he's being handed so that you both can have a better future.

Actually I told him if they will send him to more than one school to take them. I am not a person who handles being alone well. I went from my parents home to a barracks with lots of other people to my husbands and inbetween husbands there was always the kids. Now the kids are older and don't want to hang out so it isn't going to be fun. I am very glad I am not in your boat I would go nuts I hope that I can find some of the stregth you have while my sweetie is gone.

Yvonne,

I empathise with you more than you could ever know. Yes, it is hard to feel complete when the other half of you is absent physically, but remember the separation is only physical.
