Well unlike fairytales, marital arguments, disagreements,etc don't stop just b/c they are deployed. He's only been gone 9wks and we've had our first email spat yesterday/today, and it sucks eggs. :(

Ours was about 4 months. It was more of a "talk" than an argument. But it def happens.

5 days after he deployed and called for the first time to see how we were doing (I was pregnant with our last at that time) I flipped out and had a nervous breakdown over the phone and accused him of all the world's evils.

I didn't adjust to taking care of the kdis by myself very well. LOL

well after he spent 3 days in italy and didn't talk to me for 3 days and then comes back and goes "sorry for not emailing you i was out with (girl) real late." yeah we fought then but i've been over that. i try not to fight with him now. he got mad at me for something irresponsible i did but again, we're not fighting anymore.

Ours happened about 4 months into a 7.5 month deployment and lasted a couple months. Kinda sucked but he got over it.

We had a spat about 3 weeks in because I was freaking out (my first deployment).. then we had a fight about 2 months in... we got it worked out. It's hard trying to understand the mind of a deployed Airman/Soldier/Sailer/Marine etc. Communication is so important.

There have been a couple tiny ones due to miscommunication - usually just on my end though. I rant, he says, "Oh, missed that." :duh Usually happens when he can't call.

I honestly don't remember the first time we had a "discussion" while he was deployed. The deployment certainly improved our communication skills so we avoid having silly misunderstandings, but sometimes we still have a spat. It happens. :dunno

I think it was a month or so in. It was so stupid though that I don't even remember what it was about.

i flip out every now and then on the phone, but it never turns into an argument. i'm confident enough to think we won't argue at all this deployment because we've got the whole communication thing figured out.

last deployment we had a good argument probably once a month. it was all because we were both stressed and taking it out on eachother, we learned when looking back on it.
