Hi All
I am not new to MN as i'm a bit of a lurker in the childcare section. But i am new to the Forces Sweethearts section
I have often lurked on MN and never realised this section existed
I am a Navy Wife and my husband got emergency deployed at beginning of December. We had 10 days notice and as you can imagine came as a bit of a shock. He is currently shore based and has been for a year. So i have been extremely lucky to have himround for the last year, which kind of is unheard of. So i guess him being around i have taken for granted. Also, i'm just wondering if obviously we had the normal notice period perhaps i may have coped better, who knows!I am used to him going away during the 9years we have been together, as much as it doesn't get any easier afterall these years you learn to cope a that bit better.
I am finding it quite hard at the moment and i think it's the fact that it has been over the xmas period, i am very up and down. I don't have any family close by and have no children and being xmas i never want to intrude on my friends as they want to spend time with their families, understandably.
We have been really lucky as this is the first xams we have ever spent apart and he will be home in Febuary so i have to think myself lucky that it isn't any longer.
I am hoping that now the festivities are over(not to be a stickler) that i can just focus and get back to work and start crossing off the days on the calendar.
Thanks for letting me vent
