View Full Version : i don't know how to help him :-(
thenguyenclan 05-12-2008, 12:58 PM i dont know what to do :-( hubby has been emailing me only one worded or one sentenced answers to whatever i've written...i know hes depressed...it's just really weird..
yesterday i wrote him an email saying that i loved him and that i missed him..and i asked him if anything was wrong...and i will always have an ear open for him if he wants to talk...im not expecting a reply back right away because i know he can be busy....but this has been going on for the past week..and im getting tired of it..
one time he didnt write to me for a week and a half..and i told him babe you need to carve out some time to tell me that you're fine or whatever..because i dont want to have to worry about you..he had time to go out with his friends and take pictures...and he got into a little bit of trouble along the way...so the least he could have done was write to me and tell me hi or something..but whatever...
i dont know how long to drag this out...the last time i actually didnt write to him until he wrote to me...im not sure if i should do that again... :-(
armyfiancee 05-12-2008, 01:14 PM Oh wow, hun. I don't even know what to say! You are doing a lot on your part, I mean all you can do is ask and tell him you love him
I hope someone else has some good advice, I will offer hugs though :hugs

thank you i appreciate it....i wonder how long i should wait until he finally says something..because i cant help him if he doesnt communicate with me...we've had this discussion before..with a counselor present..so he should know that i worry about him if he doesnt say anything..im not sure..
armyfiancee 05-12-2008, 01:37 PM From your siggy I see that you have kids, so maybe try telling him that he needs to at least talk to the kids, they deserve more than 1 word emails. It is sad, I understand that he is struggling over there, but you are here, feeling helpless and you need each other. It is hard on you as well, even though you are not fighting the war.

maybe...another lady from another website i frequent gave me this website to register for and i can send him phone messages but it gets to his email addy..and he can listen to these messages and hear our voices so he doesnt have to call and hear our voice..he can just go to his email and pick up the messages..so that was really nice of the woman who gave that to me...
and our daughter left a message for him yesterday...i told her what to say and she said it..of course she does say it but he's not talking to her since this is like a voicemail so i had to remind her..but yea..she was all for saying i love you daddy..come home soon..i miss you..that type of thing...^_^
if any of you ladies are interested i can give you guys that website when i find it ^_^ it's actually pretty cool..caught hubby by surprise when he first heard it :-) but you have to tell your SO that the emails will be coming because it might get sent to the bulk folder.. ^_^
armyfiancee 05-12-2008, 02:33 PM That sounds so cool! I would love the link!
I am very sorry that I don't have much advice, I have never been in that situation, so I feel bad that I have no advice to offer

not a problem ^_^ remember when you sign up for the email addy you want to send it to...remember to put your hubby's email address on there...whether its the military one or the one that hes most likely going to check...i put my hubbys email from the boat so it gets sent there...
www.k7.net that's the website ^_^ have fun!!
bestofme 05-13-2008, 11:53 AM that is such a good idea!!!
armyfiancee 05-13-2008, 09:06 PM THANKS!!!
airmanssweetie 05-13-2008, 09:11 PM Hmm, well, i'm not sure what advice to give ya bc I haven't been there.. maybe just write him and tell him how you feel- i think that's all you can really do. Hopefully he will come around!
thenguyenclan 05-13-2008, 09:42 PM THANKS!!!
no problem ^_^
rigirl13 05-13-2008, 09:47 PM I'm sorry!!!!!!!! My DB is like that!!!! I will write the WORLD in an e-mail, and I would get one worrd or sentence!!! HATE IT!!! But, I did explaine that I need more! I know he is busy!!! He barely has a day off, but when he does......hes a the base pool in IRAQ!!! I was like, you have time out to lay out, you have time to write me and call me!!! I know they need to relax out there.....but something so small, can make us feel soooo much better!!! I don't think they understand us! But, I hope things work out for you!
