So my partner just went to the army at the start of January we have a son he is five months old and I'm finding it very hard to cope without him I've recently had to give into my sisters just for a helping hand as I Am working part time also and am exhausted everyday and getting up nearly three times a night because he is teething very bad.. I don't know what to do I haven't told him how I feel and afraid if I do I'll be the bad guy because he has waited two years to actually get in and it's was his dream job and he is really loving it but I'm hating being here by myself no social life it's just work and baby and I just feel very lonley and very run down it's only been three weeks am I ever reacting? Any advice guys?

Unfortunately that's the life of having a partner in the forces - it's crap!! Is he getting weekends at home?

You have to build up your own support network and do your best. My DH was weekend commuting when DD was born so he'd leave Sunday evening and come back the next Friday evening. I was also working p/t and had to rely on my Mum a lot. We've managed to get a posting overseas which has given us a couple of years of 'normal life' and we've had DS but we'll be back to weekend commuting in a few months. Well until he leaves!
