I think I'm in a Funk

in July 2011 Moms

So my husband and I have been apart since February.  Meaning we have been living in two separate houses since then.  He is over two hours away, where he took a new job, and I am here working out my contract at my school.  I guess in the past few weeks it has really hit me hard.  I do everything around the house, and try and stay very busy with exercising and all, but I think I'm a bit lonely.  I have no family around  (the nearest is 6 hours away), and unfortunately, not really any friends (we were only here for DH's job, but now we are moving again).

I should move in with DH at the end of May when school ends, but I feel like it'll never come.  I just can't seem to get happy about anything lately, and that is totally not me; I'm normally a very happy go lucky person.  Any advice for getting out of this rut?

So I just reread this, and ugh.  Sorry to complain, as I have no right to, because I just think of military families, and I can't imagine being away from my loved one for that long.  Military ladies, I have nothing but the utmost respect for you, so please just ignore my whiny post!  Wink

    I would have a hard time too. Just think, the end of May is very soon. The baby will being special bonding time to your hubby and you, so u guys can get reconnected in that way. If u are able to text him or have him contact you even one extra time a day until then, then it might help u pull through. (hugs)

    i think you're allowed to be whiney! i'm not a military wife and and i see my hubby every night, but if i didn't, I'd be more than whiney. sometimes the best way to get out of a funk is to just admit there's a funk and roll with it. if that makes sense.

    the end of may will come soon enough, i'm always amazed how quickly time is flying by these days!

    hang in there and good luck

    Thanks ladies, y'all are amazing.  And the bolded part really makes sense to me.  I think I have been trying to be so strong, and I think it finally kind of sunk in, to me and DH today, that I'm just a little unhappy.  But you're right time will fly by!  :)

    It's less than a month now, it will go super fast!  I'd be in a funk too, but just remember you're in the homestretch.  Good luck!

    You have every right to whine. I feel very similar to you though, MH travels 3 weeks out of the month (however, it seems like he's been working 4 weeks out of the month OOT lately). My family also lives 5 hours away so I get lonely as well. Just think, the end of May is so close!

    I totally get it, DH works 2p-12a four days a week so I get lonley a lot.  Once DD goes to bed I really start to get more sick of my alone time, trust me a little is great when you have kids...but it does get old after awhile. I actually just talked to dH about this last night, and there is a good chance he can get a day shift  before DS is born.  We have been living like this for 6 years so I am hoping for this light at the end of the tunnel!
