I was an Army wife and often separated from my husband as well. The last time, he was mobilized to NJ, Fort Dix, for 13 months. During those 13 months, the guys in his unit would come home on weekends, it was a 6 hour drive. He couldn't because he "had more responsibilities" than them. Turns out those "responsibilities" were not living in the barracks like I was told, but living with a 20 year old girl he met at a bar down there. (He was over twice her age)
So I'm not huge into long distance relationships lol, but I know this is temporary and I'm a thousand percent sure that's not something I need to be concerned about this time around since this one isn't a delusional narcissistic poor excuse for a man. (That doesn't sound bitter right?)
