Missing My Deployed Boyfriend
I don't know what to say except that I miss him.I miss him so much its a physical ache in my chest (not to mention my arms, which long to wrap around his form).
I miss his goofy smile, and I miss his quirky sense of humor, and I miss his attempts at head massages. I miss his voice, reading me bedtime stories over the phone as I drift off to sleep.
I miss his smell, and the way he kisses me like its the last thing he'll ever do, and he wants to do it right. I miss his hands, wrapped around mine as we walk through the grocery store. I miss his eyes, and how they get softer when he says something nice.
I miss his love of Monty Python, even if its okay with me if I never see that damn movie again. I'd watch it a million times in a row if it meant he was here to watch it with me. I miss the way he holds juice boxes, and the way he giggles with me over drinking juice boxes even though we are definitely older than six.
I miss the way he makes the bed so hot I will never have cold feet. I miss his silly insistence on sleeping in socks.
I miss it all, and mostly, I just miss him.
I'm proud of him, for serving our country. I'm proud of him for doing what has to be done. I'm proud of him for honoring his commitments. I'm proud of him for what he does. I wouldn't want him if he weren't everything he is.
But he is what he is, and I do want him. And that is all I can think about right now.

This makes me sad... I'm not looking forward to my SO's year long deployment in February. Sadface.
I know how you feel... sometimes I don't want to eat because I'm so sad. It's not easy having someone that is truly your other half taken away from you.
It also really sucks when you can't even talk to them when you want to. I can't tell you how many times that I get sad and I don't have my husband to call up or to run to. I get so angry when other people complain about how they don't see their SO for a week or something...that's not real distance. Real distance is when you have to lay down to sleep and all you want is them and instead you get nothing.
:(
Hey, he's doing it for both of you. I know it's hard, but he'll be back and it'll be great :P
Be strong. Whatever branch, we Military Men need a strong woman :P
My best friend is going through this..it completely sucks. I don't think I'm strong enough to deal with this kind of separation. Stay strong!
I know
exactly.
how you feel.
Aw, I'm not looking forward to the day my husband deploys either. I am very, very attached to him as well. I hope time goes by a little faster for you. How long is he deployed for, and what branch? You guys seem so adorable! <3
Aw ): This made me tear up.
i know how it goes too. it's really hard but so worth it when he's back! my husband was gone for a year in iraq, and i've had him back for a whole year now, but i will never forget how it felt. the best advice i can give you is to stay strong! go out and live your life for the both of you, it's not going to help him be strong out there if he knows you're miserable here. and the homecoming is the best feeling in the entire world! good luck! :)
It's definitely not easy. My Airman may not be deployed currently, but he is halfway across the country from me and has been for the last 7 months now.
my guy is in the army, and i'm in the navy *sigh* the thing that hurts the most is that he's going a year before I am and I finish a year after he does...
I understand <3 i'll keep him and you in my prayers.
My blogs are ridiculously similar! My fiance is stationed in Japan and he's been gone for about 6 months now. Lucky for me, in 27 days he'll be home for the holidays and in exactly 30 days, he'll be my husband<3, don't you worry! Your man will be home eventually!
you can do it!!! : D this only means you can show him how supportful you are!! i send my brother every sketchbook i finish to him in afghanistan (spelling?)! you can do silly things like that too
I know how you feel. My husband just got deployed 3 weeks ago (we just got married in Aug.) I missed him like crazy before he even left. It's been hard, but I get to see him in 24 weeks and I can't wait. You will get through it, it will be hard at times, but he will be back home with you before you know it :)
hey love. my SO is in the Airforce. he is based in Italy, and over 6000 miles away from me every day. We are getting married next August, I know what it's like to miss him, I have already been though one deployment, he has his next in March. if you ever need to talk. my e-mail is godslittledreamer@gmail.com
this makes me sooooo sad. :(
i get to go through this for 8 months, starting december 10th. my boyfriend's leaving for afghanistan. again. not excited at all. stay strong. i know that i'm going to need all the support i can get.I agree with aCe_KeiAnar. They need strong women! My boyfriend now is going in to be a Forward Observer. And he could leave at any time from January to July. So, I'm most likely going to be on here everyday til. He comes back! We've just got to stick together. It'll be okay in the end!! The rewards of being patient and faithful will pay off immensely.
My SO is also getting deployed to Afghanistan in March, which makes me really sad since my Birthdays is on the 1st of April. But I do know that the year will go by fast, girls (and guys) who have SOs that are overseas just have to keep themselves busy. Every time my SO goes to drill for the weekend I get sad and lonely and start to miss him with an ache, but I make sure I have things to do to keep my mind off of him, if I can't, then I makes sure I do something special that'll make him feel relaxed when he comes home. When he goes overseas, I know that I'll have friends and family to visit that'll keep me busy along with many other things, like work, and (hopefully) keeping up with doctor appointments and getting ready for a baby. That in itself should keep me busy enough lol.
But all in all, you just have to keep your mind busy. Make sure you're finding something to do instead of sitting around and wishing he were with you. Take up a hobby with friends that'll keep your mind and body busy. The more you do the aster it'll seem he's home.
:) Good luck, and keep your chin up.
@aCe_KeiAnar@xanga - I love this, it's so true and I completely agree! :)
