Rips out hair!
I hate weeks like this. The ones where he ignores every text I send, every message on facebook. I just want to stop being his enemy. I don't want to be the one that he finds annoying. He has ignored me all week long. Last text I got from him was on Sunday, when I asked him how his conference was going. I've tried talking to him since, but I get no answer. I've sent him some funny Farrah Fawcett jokes that I thought he'd find funny and then maybe respond, but no such luck.
![]() So, I'll share the ones I know with you. We could all use a laugh. Farrah Fawcett dies and goes to Heaven. God tells her he'll grant her one wish. Farrah tells God that she wishes that all the children of the world to be safe. God then kills Michael Jackson. How are Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson different? Farrah goes and works with the majors while Michael is playing with the minors.

Awe Traci, I'm sorry! I hate when they get like that too. One thing I've been doing that REALLY is working... ONE email (deployment so no texts) and ONE call. And THAT'S it. If he doesn't call/email back so be it. Well, it lead to him really starting to answer my emails and he calls a lot too. Think him realizing he could actually lose me (I do not need him) has really evened it all out.
Men suck! Sorry Traci!And I've been living in a bubble this week I guess, I didn't know Farrah actually passed. Her story was so sad in the end - she tried so hard.

Well, I think he's just been taking it hard that the unit he was with is deploying to Afghanistan soon. So, he probably doesn't feel like joking around. Not that he ever did once he got back, his humor is much different than mine now. I know he's been feeling stressed more lately, so I thought that maybe on an off-chance that a joke would cheer him up. But, I guess not. I tried.

It seems the Americans are more interested in the death of child molesting, pop star.

A week feels like a year when they do this. I've been so patient with him through all of this. I know its because his old unit is deploying. Also, I am sure there is an anniversary of something that happened this month while he was there, so he's probably thinking a lot about it. If he'd let me give him hugs, I would. If he wanted me to lend an ear I would. I would be his shoulder to lean on too. I would do all of these things, because he's worth it. He doesn't have to deal with this all alone. I just want the chance to tell him these things. I am working on his trust, so that when he does open up, he knows I am not going to judge him for the things he had to do to keep himself alive for us, to come home to us. I cannot imagine the guilt he feels for those that he lost. I just want to hug him and tell him everything is okay and that he didn't let anyone down for the decisions he made as a soldier. No one holds him responsible. He did things with the best of intentions that he can be proud of what he did when he was over there and that when its someones time to go, its their time to go and he doesn't have to feel guilty for being one of the many survivors.
