Im going through a really hateful time right now. I just dont want to be bothered. Im angry that this even has to happen. My friend whos husband is on a 2 month det is whining because hes not home then tells me that I should be consouling her because her husbands already gone and mine hasnt even left yet.

I dont like feeling this way Like Im basically gonna break at any moment. I dont want to push him away yet I dont want him to think Im a big baby either. So today I am just gonna let him have his day for video games and Anime and I will clean house and just try to let things go...Does it get any easier?? We still have 2 weeks and I dont want to spend it fighting...HELP!!!:sigh

:hugehug I'm sorry you are feeling angry. Before DF left, we argued too. I hear its normal but it doesn't make it any better I know...

That is totally normal, for me anyway. Every time DH is getting ready to leave I get really touchy. I have tries to make an effort not to since I noticed the behavior, but it's hard.

Yep, I would agree with the others that it's totally normal. I think it's our way of dealing with the upcoming separation. We've been through three major deployments together in almost 5 years of marriage and each time it's happened. I don't like it, and I try to stop it each time, but it still happens. I've read that it's normal... but I still don't like it!

The best advice I can give is to be sure and talk with your hubby when it's quiet and neither of you are angry. Tell him how you're feeling and that you don't like feeling that way, but right now you can't seem to stop feeling that way. Make sure he knows how much you love him and that it upsets you, too. Likely he is feeling similar. He's got to deal with being away from you and the baby, the comforts of home, etc., and of course has to keep up the manly front that nothing is bothering him.
