...the things that make the time pass the most quickly are followed by the times that make me miss him the most?! I spent the weekend with DB's parents/niece/nephew and it was amazing. Now I'm back to my college apartment and surrounded by people but I still feel alone and miss him like crazy tonight. :tears But my donut is up to 15% so I'm trying to be excited about that! Where are you girls on your miserable yet addicting sorry excuse for a donut? (If it really wanted to help me get through this, it would be covered in chocolate!)

We don't know how long he will be gone, so I don't have a donut. However, I agree that all donuts should be smothered in chocolate icing. :giggle

As for happiness leading to sadness, I feel the same way. Last night was a fun evening with my friends. And today was a day spent with my family. Now I seem to ache for him even more than usual. I want to share those fun times with him, and I can't. Instead I watch my single friends flirt it up (and wish that I could playfully flirt with DB), and I see my Mom and Dad, bro and SIL, and Grandparents.... all these dang couples.... and become keenly aware that I am missing my own partner. I'm glad to spend time with my friends and family. I just wish he could be here with me to do so. :(

mine's only at eleven percent. but that's until he comes home for predeployment leave...then its actual deployment time.

Mine is at 20% and I wish it just said something nicer than.............you have a long long way to go.........ugh!!!!!!!!!! It should have more positive saying lol......I think anytime we do something fun or just enjoy our time, after we start to think, god I wish he could have been here with me to enjoy this. And especially being at his families house is really going to make you miss him more, because they are part of him. LOL and its called a donut of misery, which makes it even worse lol............I tried to change the name on mine to something nicer but it doesn't wanna save for some weird reason.

Hugzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

That's great you got to spend time with his family, and I can see how that would make you miss him more.

My donut is at 31%. It seems to move so slow doesn't it. But I remember when you were at zero % and posting because he had just left. :) Exciting that time flies. :) Good job girl

i dont have a donut, i dont want to see how much longer =[ im a big sissy haha. but i totally agree.. the other day at work, some girl was complaining the her bf went to NJ for 2 days TWO DAYS he's 4 hours away for TWO DAYS and she had just seen him 6 hours earlier and was complaining about missing and and cant wait to see him.. needless to say, instead of slapping some sense into her, i got tears in my eyes, because im jealous. id give up my legs and arms just to have DB be 6 hours away from me, safe, able to be home with in just a short car ride, not oceans away fighting a war. seeing couples hurts.. more than anything, because i feel like "civilian" couples take that goodnight kiss, that hug, the look in the eyes, for granted, where as we, cherish every email, every im, every 2 minute phone call.. deployments suck!

I get the same way... yesterday was a really great day for me, and the first thing I did when I came home was email DB to tell him how much I missed him. It's a hard balance, living your life as much as you can, but still hurting because you can't share it with the one you love. I'm at 20% and counting down the days to 25%, than 30%... each bit a little closer to the day we're back together. :hugs We'll get through this together!!

Oh, and my donut should be cream-filled. I think that would help MUCH more :D

Hi ladies, My df hasnt deployed yet. Iam new here ...I am just wanting to know what is a donut?

google donut of misery and it should be the first one. It's an excel file that tells you how much time you have left and how much you have gotten through (you put in the day he left and estimate his homecoming date).
