I'm not sure how much my husband is going to appreciate me putting this picture up, but to me, it explains everything about the feelings of having your spouse deployed. And no, he didn't even pose!
My blood started to boil when I read the last comment Julia copied from the website. I'm proud of myself for not even bothering to click the link and see what else people have to say about military spouses. Just because something is hard doesn't mean that you should just back out. I knew, as an outsider, what I was getting into when I got married, but when you're actually in it, it feels so different. You can't even fathom having your husband gone for that long. I spent the first few months of our marriage in denial that he was actually leaving. And once he was really gone, it was devastating. This whole deployment I've been wondering when/if I'd ever get used to life on my own, and I can't, it just doesn't work that way. Even when he's gone, he's my partner, my life isn't the same without him, there's something missing. I will not, "hurry up and divorce so that the soldier can move on and find someone he deserves," just because it's difficult!! What we do as military spouses is the most deserving thing ever! We stand by our soldiers no matter how long the deployment is, or how hard it is without them.
