I should be used to this after all these years dealing with the military, but this time it just is making me mad! Dh just got a new fly date for Iraq, a week later then orginally scheduled. I guess I should be thankful for another week. At this point in time though we were adjusted to the date we had, and I think I would be more ok, if it had been moved up a week instead of back a week........It's really hard just waiting for him to leave......The sooner he leaves the sooner he can get back. Is there something wrong with me feeling this way?


Just needed to vent.....it's very frustrating.....

I completely understand. I feel the same way when my DH has to go out somewhere. It's that awful "dread" feeling. You know it's coming, let's just get it over with already.

Hoping he goes and gets back quickly, safe and sound.

Nothing wrong with the way you are feeling. Anticipated departure only stirs up anxiety.

I, too, don't think there is anything wrong with how you are feeling.

Enjoy the extra week with your husband.

(((HUGS))) to you and your family.

Been there, done that!! I always thought the time leading up to DH departing was harder then the actual goodbye.

You have the right to feel like you do, your emotions are already so strung out. The Army's "yo-yo" deployment dates never help, its always easier to deal with deployments when there is a plan/schedule. Once the schedule is out the window you feel like you have no control. Hang in there, and just enjoy the extra week you and your DH were blessed with, because in 3 months you will be wishing for him for just one day let alone 1 week. I'm sure two married adults can find something to do in that time

I always saying there's nothing wrong with feelings, they just are what they are. It's the what we do with them that we can control. Sorry to hear that your world gut even more topsy-turvy. I personally hate change! Don't mess with my game plan.

Do let me know what I can do for them when the time is right though!

This is totally normal. The first time my DH went to Iraq we said all our good-bye's, I cried the whole way home, cried at home and then 8 hours later he called me to pick him up since his flight was delayed for 2 days. It was the hardest 2 days I had and then to have to say good-bye again was harder. I can totally sympathize with you.
