Ms. Maghan, I'm having a rough week already! DB and I are on the outs and I am not a happy lady. He was just gone for 2weeks for training. I had been waiting all day Friday to find out if we were going to see each other this weekend. No call came so Friday night I called him and he was at his friends house watching a movie...NP he said he would call me when he got home...no call ever came, no text ever came. He never replied to my calls or text. I am so frustrated. It is one thing when I don't hear from him when he working, but when he has off...uugghh! It just makes it 10Xs worse because you work so hard at waiting and being supportive. I'm mad...lol !
Anyways...how are you? Hope you and your sweetheart are doing GREAT! Take care!!

Hi Maghan! I'm so happy you got to see your sweetheart, that is GREAT! My DB was gone on a training mission for a couple of weeks and he called me yesterday to let me know he was on his way back to base. I hope he is off this weekend, I sure will make that 10hour trip to see him. I miss him like crazy!
Take care and have a great week!

I read your post and was impressed at how positive and upbeat you are. I am trying very hard to be but today is not a good day. My SO has recently been relocated and communication is not good right now. I try to always be strong and upbeat when I talk to him and usually I truly am but today is a bad day. I know you don't know me but you do know how I feel and I just needed to reach out to someone tonight.

I am so happy you are having a positive experience with deployment so far. I think he is preparing me for the worst, so any communication I get from him will seem amazing and he gets to earn boyfriend points! Are you connected with his base's family readiness center? From what I read, they send out email and news updates about the SO troop. Will your SO be gone for a year?
Keep in touch...I'm sure this is easier to go through with others that can understand the feelings we go through.

thank you! that did help a lot! im ready for him to come home alreadY! im going to lose my mind next year lol

Hey Mkensi,
My name is Ashley, and I saw you had responded to my post. Thank you so much, my boyfriend actually ended up leaving last night. Of course, the night he leaves I had to work. I didn;t think it would be as hard, because it is only a month, but it is. I wish we were able to communicate more while he is there, but i do not think we will be able to. Shortly after he comes home he leaves for Afghanistan. I hope everything is doing okay with you!

Hi Mkensi, my name is Sheila. I am in a similar situation. My DB is getting ready to deploy very soon..sooner than we were preparing for. Sometimes I wonder what I got myself into. I have no experience with anyone in the military, so everything seems "strange" to me. I have really used this site to calm some of my nerves. When no one else understands why i have not heard from my DB for weeks..someone here has always encouraged me.
