DH is going away again

Can't say when or where obviously, but it's for quite a while and BOLLOCKS, he's not supposed to be deployable for AGES.

Shit shit fuckity shit.

I know it comes with the territory, and I understand that it is his job, and I am cool with it but all the same AAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!

A LONG time. I mean, the other Forces wives would consider it standard - and it is - but it's still a FREAKIN LONG TIME.

God, I am going to be on here EVEN MORE!

yeah

sorry, I'm just whinging. It's not for a while, and there are lots of ladies here who go through this way more often than I do. One of my best mates has seen her husband for about 4 months in the past two years.

Just a bit of a shock . But we'll be fine .

yeah you will be fine, and there is others who do it more often than you BUT who cares about things like that when its your little family that will be apart for so long.

me and dh worked out that he has been apart from dd's more than he has been with them and dd1 is 5 now it is really shitty so you have every right to be whinging

McDreamy · 12/09/2007 12:17

Bugger...I hate it when that happens! You'll get through it like you always do but we'll be here to help

My DH has been gone for 3 weeks today, this is the first time he's been away for some time but is the first time since we had DS. I'm taking one day at a time, ticking the days off the calender and they will soon go. Is he going soon. You can chat to us and we'll keep you company.

Oh poo and ploppy pants LL, that sucks.

Hope the time flies for you [hopeful emoticon]

3andnomore · 12/09/2007 15:56

Oh, I know what you mean...just knowing and accepting that it's part of the parcel, does not always make it easier on you, does it...in the end it's shite when they are deployed...

Twiglett · 12/09/2007 15:57

can't imagine what its like

kerrykatona · 12/09/2007 16:13

Just seen this LL! Unfortunately these things are coming round again more frequently! We are all here for you
DH was told that because of his new job ,he wouldn't be sent on Det for the 3 years of the job, but 1 of his colleagues is off for 6 months in January, so no doubt DH's turn will come round again!

Arse LL! .
You will be OK of course but the waiting for them to go is almost worse, or at least was for me. Hope you had a good meal out
