to be pissed off with my husband for going to N.I.

[BlueCollie]

I am so pissed off with my husband GGRRR!! I kept telling him he would get stuck in N.I. and that he wouldn't get home for days due to weather. I pointed out the weather warnings many times. He is only home from Afghanistan for two weeks. I can understand he wanted to see his daughter but think he should have thought about it a bit more in the light of such severe weather warnings. I know I'm being selfish and probably unreasonable but I'm missing him and so is our little boy.

my brother had to get permission to travel to NI for my wedding. He was told to not take anything that would ID him as a soldier.

TLC- North Belfast you say? Snap!

inordinately excited

dinokisses yep, I'm in dark and very very cold North Belfast (Glengormley to be exact).

Whereabouts are you?

YABU. Of course he went. If you'd been seperated from your DS for three months you'd have gone as well, and if your DH had got the hump with you for it you'd probably think he was a bit of an arse.

We're beside the hill- v v v chocolate boxy atm!

I understand that you're upset, especially if your DH only has two weeks home prior to going back to Afghan. However, in the situation, if you were able, maybe it would have been best if you'd have gone with him. Surely his DD would love to spend time with her half brother and it's important for them to have a relationship.

I hope he gets back in time to spend some time with you and your DS prior to hsi return to Afghan.

Ruthie, hope he got to Liverpool safely. DH's flight got cancelled this morning, wasn't going to make it on time to Stranraer for tonight's ferry, and too late to make phone booking for Liverpool so pinning our hopes on a flight going from East Midlands tonight. Otherwise, he'll be going to Liverpool, and just waiting at the terminal in the hope of getting something! Think my DH is just like yours - very upset that this has happened, and not able to do much about it. Feel really bad for them both - and all the other travellers stranded.

OP - has he got home yet?

TimeTraveller - mine made it to Liverpool with 6 hours to spare and is waiting to get on the boat.

If he is a foot passenger, it will be much easier to get on board.

Fingers crossed the flight works out as i would hate to be stuck on a boat for 8 hours after this.

OP - has your OH made it home yet? All the airports here are now open again but are feeling the effects of the disruption still

Ruthie, hope he's now home safe and sound. DH got in at quarter to one this morning, looking and smelling like an orphan . Now just bedding in for Christmas - unlike lots of those other poor travellers at Heathrow

Glad he made it home.

Mine got home this morning at 10.

He's complained bitterly all day about everything but kinda glad he's home.

I would hate to be anywhere near heathrow.

OH mentioned he was listening to the radio yesterday evening and it was a phone in and a mummy was waiting for all her kids to come back for a last family christmas as she had only a few weeks left to live. And she didn't know if they would make it.

So being stuck for a few days pales into insignificance when you hear that.

OP - did your OH make it home yet?

His daughter is just as important to him as you are. Ya he's gonna be stuck for a few days but me and my 2 year old son saw my husband for 5 days and he was right back in the fight. And he's not just sittin out there I don't know what your husband does so i'm not critisizing that but I get a call damn near every other week saying he was hit by an IED and right now he is target. He's a corpsman and god knows those fuckin insurgents do NOT want the medical personnel to be alive. Suck it up and enjoy the time you DO have with your husband. If he didn't care what you thought he woulda left the day he showed up and came back the day he's gotta go back to Afghanistan. That's the life of being a Military Wife. and you KNEW what you were getting yourself into.
