I never realized how much a real deployment takes this is so crazy. I haven't had time to breath or really even think. Trying to understand every thing he is trying to explain to me about how every thing is going to work. Ans just trying to spend some time with him and still keep my life going to is not as easy as i expected it to be. How do you balance a life and all the information and a job and him leaving all at the same time... I have never had to do this and I feel like I really need a break but I can't take one right now and my life is going by so fast I don't even know where to turn.

You just have to suck it up and do it. There is no time to take a break. You learn to prioritize your life. This isn't something that you can just hit the pause button with. You are going full steam ahead.

We seperate everything. If your at work your at work and thats that. If we are trying to spend some alone time together before he deploys we don't talk about work or deployment or anything like that we just enjoy our time. And if we are talking about a deployment or preparing for that then thats what we focus on :D it seems to work pretty well for us.
