basically the title says it all! this is my blog and since it is my blog i'm going to use it for its intended purpose and complain! so, this kind of thing happens all the time, but after the day i have had i finally got set off and decided that i just need to blog and get my feelings out. i have this marine wife friend who i just think the world of and in her blog she just writes her feelings and doesn't care if people get pissed because honestly, people just don't understand what she is going through. yes, people get offended at some of the things she is saying, but she is just saying what she needs to say to get her through and if that pisses people off maybe then perhaps there is a reason why they are getting pissed off and they themselves aren't being the bestest of friends.. anyway.. i think i have come to the conclusion that i need to be more like that and not let things just roll off my back. deployments SUCK and honestly i don't need any added stress so i think i'm pretty much done holding it in... so here it goes!
i think i can pretty much speak for ANY marine or military wife when i say that there is nothing more annoying than somebody complaining about missing their boyfriend/fiance/husband. within the past few days i have seen WAY too many facebook friends complaining about missing their man even though they are only going to be apart for a few days and heavin forbid ONE freaking night! i mean really? really peoples? oh i'm sorry.. it must be soooo hard to be away from them when you can call or text them whenever you want.. and hey, if you really wanted you could fly down and be with them. yes, i do get that you miss them and you totally have the right to, but when i can't text, call, or see them for seven months it just gets a little too much to handle. before you start crying and freaking out about how "hard" things are for you realize what i, and many other military wives are going through. heck, i don't even have it as bad as many other wives who have men in afghanistan. luckily i don't have to have the added stress of not knowing whether or not my husband is safe but i don't have the luxury of talking to him whenever i want. heck, the last phone call i got was a two minute phone call that was mostly fuzz and i was somewhat able to pick out the words 'love you' and 'miss you'. so basically, in the past month that is mine and his conversation.. so before you start complaining about how hard things are just remember what you do have and how many other wives would LOVE to be in your situation. who knows.. maybe i'm just being an insensitive beezy.. but like i mentioned with my friend's blog.. what does that make you? -end rant here-
peace in the middle east blogger peoples!

AMEN! I tend to say things such as "at least he isn't in afghanistan" when they complain or "at least you can call him when you want" or "at least he isn't gone for 7 months" Now I can completely understand that in these civilians wives or girlfriends minds that one week away from their significant other is the WORST thing in their world. If they would broden their horizons a bit and see that we are suffering and hurting and not getting phone calls and such then maybe they would be a bit more sensitive. I am trying to see that in their minds that is the worst thing and in my world I have to deal with the worst to receive the best. I believe our relationships with our men are going to be that much stronger for going through this. When is all and said and done we realized that we could not live without the other in our lives, and it makes the good times that much sweeter and the bad times seem not so bad. I love complaining and I say what I want when I want and if I do offend people it is their loss not mine because I choose not to change for anyone. My Dave loves me for who I am and he is the only one that matters. I hope this helped and I am glad to see some venting of frustrations. YAY for venting.
