Advice...

I got an email from DB this morning. Apparently someone was KIA outside of his base. They had a memorial service on base and he is pretty shaken up about it. He sounded weird when he called today too.... should I be worried? He was excited the other day to tell me he finally got to put on a clean shirt and clean underwear after 5 days...ew. He keeps telling me I need to get a hobby.... is he just sick of me getting sad? I havent been sad the past few days on the phone with him until today when he told me to stop sending him things bc he doesnt have any space. It isnt really like him to be that snappy with me.... I know he felt bad when I was upset, but I don't wanna be 'that girl' either....any advice?

Aww sweetie Im sorry, try not and take it personally with the way he is acting, its hard over there and that may be the way he's handling things, just try and be strong for him and just tell him that no matter what you'll be there for him. As for the getting a hobby, maybe he thinks that if you do, it will help get your mind off things that are going on over there and maybe you wont worry as much. Just still be supportive of him, its hard, especially if he's shaken up about what happened. I wish you the best and I hope he feels better soon.

im really sorry to hear that happened, but i can definitely understand how that would shake anyone up who is there. I agree i wouldnt take it personally, it had to have been hard for him to be upset about it and then talk to you.. kind of like what my db said(in my post) about how sometimes "too much" can make it hader... maybe when they have had an extra hard day and are upset about something, since you are so close to him its sort of taken out on you in a way ..maybe that is the reson for his snippiness? I dont know really.. just some ideas. but i woudl just explain you know how that must make him feel and you're always there for him. wish i could be of more help

I'm sorry that happened... all I can say is that you're not alone and that we all have days like this. Your DB sounds like he's just having a rough time with things right now but I'm sure they'll get better soon. I know that they always do with DF and I. Yo ujust have to keep in mind that it isn't personal and that the soldiers are under a lot of stress over there right now. I know that probably doesn't make you feel much better but I'm trying... I hope that you have a great day and feel free to message me if you want to talk. Hang in there!

Well they really don't have alot of space. But I'm sure it is just the stress that is getting to him. All you can do is be there for him.
