Your hubby is getting ready to deploy and he turns into a majoy butthead???? :pickfight

:banghead :vent :hairpull :gaah

Awww never experienced deployment yet.. but sorry to hear that.

My husband was the same way. We fought so much before he deployed both times & then before he PCS'd.

I hope things get better for you guys! :hugs

that is pretty normal sweety as you both start to feel that seperation coming up-I'm so sorry, If you need to talk, I am here for you:goodvibes :hugs

I think he is just picking fights with me... dumb stuff. My MIL says (an army wife of 30+ years) warned me this would happen. It just drives me nuts bc I want him to be happy and sweet before he goes bot grouchy and a meanie head to me!! :( He better snap out of it!! hehe

My DH never acts like that with me. Sure we have arguments but they arent because of deployment. I hope he starts acting better before he has to go. :hugs

DH just started distancing himself from me. He wasnt being his normal cute self. He was making up things to do so we wouldnt really have to talk. I think it is normal. They have to so they dont feel so bad about leaving. I hope he snaps out of it girlie! :hugs

This is my first deployment and DH wasn't acting like that, I was. It's a pretty common coping mechanism, my DH's dad was Navy and when I was apologizing to him for being such an asshat before he left, he said "that's okay, my dad used to do the same thing before every deployment so I'm used to it" :teehee

I'm sure yours will snap out of it soon, good luck! :goodvibes :hugs

Well, we haven't done a deployment, but before he leaves for 2 weeks or so, we argue A LOT!

:hugs

Going through the same thing here. It frustrates me but if we distance ourselves a bit, it doesnt hurt as much, does that make sense?

I know... I just hate it though.

ANd he is a psychology guy so he should know he's doing... address it... and fix it. hehehe

But seriously it doesn't fill me heart with warm and fuzzies. I hate it!! :vent

I totally know what you are going through. Ryan and I both did that before he left for the last deployment. Even when we could recognize it, we had a hard time stopping it! :no (We're both pretty stubborn! :lol) All I can suggest is to keep reminding him that you love him and try to just look over the "jerkiness" and make the best of it all. And remember that we will all be here for ya when he leaves! :hugs

When James left after 911 and we didnt have a return time frame he was an arse for two weeks before he left.

I thought so, but then he went to shore duty and I discovered he's a butt all the time :lol

I think it's pretty normal and to be expected though, but that doesn't make it FUN :( Sorry he's being a grouch towards you.
