I am very busy...and trying to stay that way, but I seem to find myself "wandering" off into a whole other world. B says that it will get easier and before I know it...he will be home. I just kind of laugh at him and say "yeah right." I am lucky, I get a lot of phone calls from him and quite a few e-mails too...the mushy ones! :lol Which, is so unlike him. I tell him that he's getting sentimental on me. :mrgreen I am just wondering when it's going to get easier. Maybe it won't hurt so much to have him gone?? Thanks for listening!! :hi

Maybe not easier but it will pay off to stay busy....i just wish i had friends here who understood because i think it would be easier if i had some one who shared my frustrations around. Mines been gone almost three months and i feel i miss him more everyday but appreciate all the emails ims and letters..... we are lucky to have these men in our lives

Yeah, I agree with you there. I don't have anyone who really understands the feeling...well, one person, but when you try and talk to her it's all about some sort of drama and I just would like to talk about him...:whatever

You are right though, we are lucky to have them in our lives. I tell him that all the time! :lol One of my friends did tell me something that hit right at the heart though...he's lucky to have ME!

Both you ladies are right. I personally think it gets easier to deal with the fact that me crying my eyes our all the time is NOT going to bring him back faster than it is going to happen. I don't think it gets easier to be without them in general though. You just have to stay strong and know that each day that passes is one day closer to when you will be together again. :yes

Yeah there are some days that I hate my life and I wish it wasn't like this because it is too hard, but knowing I have his love and commitment makes me want to fight. I just can't wait to have him hold me again!@!

It does get easier but you will also have some bad days. It's a roller coaster ride. Staying busy does make a huge difference. Yes, they are in the back of your mind but it is so much better to be doing something than wallowing with a pint of ice cream and a lifetime original.

but it is so much better to be doing something than wallowing with a pint of ice cream and a lifetime original.

now c'mon...lifetime (prolly watching a movie about how someone's ex husband raped her then married her best friend and was also a mass murderer) and a pint of ben & jerry's is the best! :P

I hope it gets easier...talk to me in like a year and I should know.Im hoping I can survive workups,and that I can use it as "practice" deployment.
