I had a whole long whiny vent typed out...
But instead of boring everyone with all of that I would just like to get it off my chest that I would love to be allowed to have an off day once in a while, and be able to talk about it with my husband without being made to feel like an annoyance. Heaven fvcking forbid that I break the perfect Army wife "everything is great honey!" mold for one fvcking conversation during a deployment.
Now if someone could bring me a box of tissues, some chocolate, and a jet overseas so that I can make a trip to kick him in the shins that would be great.
*Side note: I'm sure he's having a bad day too because it is NOT anywhere near normal for him to act like this, even while deployed, but I'm upset anyway.

Re: I had a whole long whiny vent typed out...
Sorry.
I have truffles. I'll share.
I think you are completely justified to feel this way! I think deployments are just as hard on the families (if not harder). You should be able to vent to him a little. I mean he is your husband and that is part of the job description.
Honestly (and maybe I have no right saying this, since I'm not military), but I think the "Everything's perfect honey" stuff is so 1950s. I mean I know you don't want to worry him, but heck, I'm sure he's worried even if you say everything's fine.

No I agree, and I definitely don't go out of my way to lie to him if there are things going wrong here that he needs to know about. But at the same time, I try not to just word vomit when I'm emotionally/mentally upset, especially when it's for reasons that he can do absolutely nothing about. Yeah, tonight I couldn't hide it, and apparently I annoyed him or something. Poor poor him. ::eyeroll::

Sorry Leslie! I hope things turn around!
FWIW-I think you are an amazing woman to do what you do! And a big thanks to your hubby for serving!

Shhh, don't tell anybody. I'm just "borrowing" it.
Thanks girls, I feel better just getting that out. Maybe I'll be able to restrain myself from being a sarcastic biitch should he get online in the next 24-48 hours.
Though, I think it's time for me to sign of TB for the night. Almost every single post I read on other boards is giving me the urge to type out incredibly rude and snarky responses... like way beyond the level of snark that may or may not be deserved. No bueno, so I bid you all good night.
::hugs Leslie::
I'm sorry love. This is the last night that we're staying at the Win-laws so we have cheeses, chocolates (godiva mmmmm), wine and all sorts of tastey things. I'm happy to share.
I seriously wish I was closer to help.
Because while it wouldn't change the fact that your husband is halfway across the world, I would at least want to give you some time off. A day, a weekend, whatever.
*hugs*
I'm sorry hun. That seriously sucks.
How about I charter you a jet. I'll babysit the duo and you can fly out there. kick him, get you some, and fly home?
Deal? Deal!!!
Sorry I'm late to the party...
I'm sorry you're having a tough time. Although those words are totally inadequate, they're the only ones I can think of. I'm in CO, if you ever need a day off let me know - I'd happily take the duo and you could get a massage. Or a mani-pedi. Or a nap. You know, whatever floats your boat.
And thank you to both you and DH for your commitment and sacrifice for us. I am appreciative.
((Hugs))
