The love of my life is going back to Iraq for the second time this fall. He left last saturday to start their pre deployment work up in Quantico. The week before he left i was fine, felt calm and like everything would be ok. now i'm a total mess. i'm mad one minute, sad the next, then fine, then mad again. it's a total rollercoaster. i just need some advice and i guess to talk to people who have been through this before. his first deployment was before I met him, so i've never delt with this before. i have never been interested in marrying or having children, but he is the most amazing man i've ever met and we are now engaged. instead of being excited and starting to plan, i'm dealing with this seperation and emotional rollercoaster. any kind words or advice would be appreciated. thank you.

Hello, i think you need to let him know how you feel so you dont carry the burden alone. He'll listen to you and together you both can come to some kind of comfort together. Just support him and his decisions he makes so he can do his job and come home to you healthy! Hope i helped a little.

Hey there! i'm going to mimic what corporal said you should really talk to him and let him in on how your feeling! My husband is gone a lot home for three days gone for two weeks home for a day and a half then gone for 3 weeks, it varies but he's had to do this for months now and its done crazy things to my emotions but the moment I open up and talk to him about it its like this weight gets lifted of of me! you go through it together and its much more manageable trying to take it upon yourself to be completely "strong" by not sharing will only drive you crazy! because trust me he misses you just as much and its hard for him to be away from you! and if you ever want to message me feel free! i know what its like to have the person you love leave and to feel like your on a constant roller coaster of emotions!
