    Default Didn' know it'd be this hard

    E left for Germany Sunday and it's been a lot harder than I thought. I can't even call him or he call me. We can chat on GMAIL but it's hard to catch each other. I was planning on working an assload and bank up some money..but I keep having these moments where I feel like sitting and sulking at home. I know I'm not THAT dependant...but it's weird going to bed without anyone else around. The dogs miss him too..they lie on his side of the bed and pout. I'm not working tonight, but I was planning on working wed. thru wed of next week. Maybe take one of those nights off. I want monies but I miss my man
    Anyone else go through this, and what did you do...if anything!?

    Aww hon I really feel for ya, I don't have any advice except it does get easier. Just keep giving those doggies lots of cuddles and he'll be back before you know it. I think working is a good idea, it'll take your mind off things. We're here if you need to chat hon, xxx

    no..he's miserable there. He can't find a fucking convenienve store to get a friggin bottle of water and he's co workers won't stop nagging him to go out drinking at frickin' 11pm. Then they got him a car that he can't drive (stick shift) and he's really not doing well. Which in turn has made me ancious...and now I'm not doing well.

    Get a heating blanket or take one of those heating back pillows ( I have a rice filled one ) to bed. The heat helps. I hate cold beds. Keep in mind that it's going to be awesome ( wink , wink ) when he gets home too. Not a solution by any means, but a small suggestion and it helps me .

    I know how you feel. R has been gone on interviews in Europe for a week at a time many times, and it gets very lonely around here. And I'd be like WTF is wrong with me? Am i that dependent?? And catching them to chat is hard because of the time difference.

    Just try to keep yourself distracted, and he'll be home soon

    He's only gone a week?!

    That is no big deal hunny, it's a *phhhh* in time really.

    Now wait till he's gone for 12-18 month deployments, now that's a HUGE pain in the ass right there. =(

    If military wives across the world can deal with years away from their husbands, you can do a week no problem! =)

    It's a little more than a week, and everyone is different. I know it's very hard on military wives, as my sister was one. But just because it's only a week doesn't mean it's not hard. It's not just the being gone part, it's the stirring up of things while he's away too.

    Tell your bf that the cheap stores for grocery shopping at Aldi, Plus and Lidl. If he is buying a bottle of water they are really cheap. they are really large bottles(1.5 Liter) for about 20 cents to a dollar. If he buys one that says mineral water it will be carbonated, if you dont like it straight mix it with juice. Have him look for water bottler that says 'stilles' or 'ohne gas' (ohne gas =without gas/carbonation). Make sure he saves all of his water bottles to take back to the stores, the usually have places to recycle them and give money back. If he is in a major city and must use the bus, s-bahn, strassen-bahn or u-bahn, buying a day pass or maybe even a month pass will save him money in the end. Stores close at 8pm sharp and only restaurants are open on Sunday, so no shopping on Sundays. If he needs info about tickets or info about public transportation have him go to www.bahn.de. Make sure he always has a ticket when he is on public transportation, sometimes there are pass checks and sometimes not. There is almost always a pass check on the real trains. So if a man in a suit says 'Fahrkarte bitte' that means they want to see his ticket.

    Just 6 days left!

    I relate to the thread because I'm a hardcore traveler. I'm the one who leaves , but being away from your SO sucks.

    Sunday ^^ So True ! You definitely could work a ton and then extra spending $ + extra time when he returned .

    I forgot about the mineral water fetish in Germany. It's been a few years, but it is really hard to get water there . Aj - tell him to have a currywurst for me !

    The hubby and I sustained a long distance (US-UK) relationship for 5 years. It was hard! There were times that where we spent 6 months apart. The only thing that I can suggest is to stay pre-occupied and chat with him via phone/email/txt as much as you can. Before you know it he will be home!

    Pookie...luckily things are working better for him, so that has made me more relaxed. He is in Hilden, but I got a message that he was in dusseldorf today, and going again tomorrow (sorry no umlaut). I guess everyone's trying to get him to go to Amsterdam with them this weekend. More power to him if he goes.
    As far as the transportation goes, it's a small city and they got him an automatic trans. so he can get around.
    I think he was especially "cracked out" because of all the travel, making it hard for him to function. Sounds like he has figured things out. The only problem now is that I didn't get to chat with him today, probably won't tomorrow..and if he's in Amsterdam all weekend I won't be able to talk until Monday
