I deal with deployment stress by crocheting. Well, been really stressed lately between deployment, busy kids schedules (teens in sports) and my own work that I over did it on crocheting. My long dormant carpal tunnel has resurfaced in my left hand. ugh. Now I can't crochet.

I can't see my future past 2012. Idk what's going to happen to us. I wish I knew. Dh is getting out in 2013 and not having that security really scares me. We have a house and the kids will be 1 and 6. It really stresses me out.

DH and I have been trying for a couple months for a kid now. Not going crazy with it just trying and if it happens it happens, if not, there is always next month. After sex last night he looked at my belly and said "Go forth my soldiers and counquer the mother land!" I laughed so hard I was in tears. Im glad that even though we want a kid, we can still enjoy everything and not be stressed about getting or not getting pregnant.

I'm so stressed out I just want to cry. I'm currently deployed and trying to plan a wedding. I don't think il be able to pull it off and I'm just going to have to wait another year. I really don't want to wait to be married. And no I don't want to do the courthouse thing because il reget it.

I know the wives that are guilty of this probably don't post here. If your husband is guard and making more now then he does at home and you can't make it..you got issues. You have pawned all his belongings. I worry about this soldier everyday. I want to choke his wife for the stress she is bringing him. Also, he works with females so there will be pictures on Facebook with him standing next to one. It is called formation. Please let this deployment end soon.

My husband abused mentally and physically every. single. day. during the three years we were married (he never hit/abused me in the two years we were together before we got married) I finally grew a backbone and divorced him, but he tells everyone the reason he hit me was post traumatic stress from the war. Yet he has never been deployed to a war zone, or seen any combat. He always worked a desk job in an office. I hate how he always has to play the victim. The best part is that now everyone I know has shunned me for abandoning him.

This year's Christmas I was really worried that I would be so depressed. Hubby is deployed, my oldest flew out to see her dad for Christmas, leaving me and the two little ones. Best Christmas in a super long time!! We stayed home, opened gifts, no stress, no rushing to go somewhere and then had a lovely lunch here at the house with a friend and her baby. Then, later we went to the movies, enjoyed ourselves. Boy, I can look at my tree and enjoy my day.

My DH n I aren't perfect. But on Xmas morning he was helping with b'fast, cleaning up wrapping paper, n helped with dinner prep. We're alone in a new duty station n he made sure all the stress didn't fall on me. He is helpful n wonderful about 90% of the time. The other 10% is typical man stuff - seat up, socks on the floor...stuff I can ignore or get over. It makes me sad to read so many awful stories on here. Do better for urselves, ladies.

My DH makes me look like I'm unreliable. He will make plans and changes them after I've already told people. He will change his mind minutes before we're supposed to be somewhere. I don't make him go because he has high stress and when we go and he doesn't want to he makes every little thing into a big deal.

DH, well my husband came back from his tour in Afghanistan a week ago we still haven't make love yet. His excuse is post dramatic stress from his tour and stomach pain. WTF he didn't even fire one round, his job in the Air Force is services= cook. Anyway, my best friend and I started to investigate and searched his car last night looking for love letters or clues of an affair after he passed out drunk. I found in his glove compartment antibiotics for gonorrhea and a Dr paper saying that the text result is positive for PID. I'm devastated IDK what to do, should I confront him?
