hey sorry! i havent been on here in forever! how are you doing?

Ah ha! I'm proud of you regardless if you said it cryptically. It's still a good start Has he said it back since then?? Haha, no I have not said it but I'm pretty sure he almost did! I've decided to wait until he is home. I've waited this long I can wait a bit more. How much longer do you have to go?

So have you said it yet?

She is a pug and thank you so much

Yea..I love studying at a coffee shop. Something about all the background noise helps me. Currently I am in veterinary school to be a vet. I did my undergrad and 1 1/2 years so far of vet school, with 2 1/2 years left. What about you?

You are most welcome! Please feel free to PM if you ever need to talk.

Hey! I read your post in the conversation about when gf/bfs have said their first "I love yous". I completely agree that I'm glad I'm not the only still in the dugout too! He is so far away, and it's something that is best said in person. This is a constant argument with myself... Part of me wants to wait until he says it, the other part wants to make sure it's also in person.

Anyways, sorry for the mini rant there, but I feel the same way you do!

You're very welcome! I'm assuming you mean the post about changing. Feel free to send me a message any time. My DB's first deployment was only a couple months so I didn't really get the full on deployment experience until the last one. Things were great until things got busy there, then he was withdrawn, would be online and wouldn't talk to me, I was taking it personally, and like I said, it's still hard not to do now. I wasn't really active on this forum last time, but a guy I worked with frequently at work was in the Marines and went through a bad deployment in Iraq. He's the one that made it make sense, plus, he had been through first hand what my DB was going through and told me that it's easier on them mentally to stay their distance, which as much as we hate it, makes sense. Throw a fit, cry your eyes out, send us a message, do what you gotta do, just remember, we are all here for you. Like I said, there is nothing wrong with maybe just asking, "hey, are we ok?". I'm sure I will do it from time to time. As much as they need to focus, we still need to be reminded we are important at times too.

You are so welcome! That is why we are all here right? That's at least why I'm here You can pm me anytime as well

Not so good you?
