My cousin and I are really good friends and were talking tonight on FB. She was asking how I'm doing since R has been gone for 10 days now. I said its been tough and I'm ready for him to come home . . .
Her reply was "Yeah I understand that now."
I'm sorry, what? You have been dating your new BF for 3 weeks now. He lives an hour away and can see you any time he wants to. I know you really like him and hope he is "The One" but please don't act like you get where I'm coming from.
My daughter is sick. I am sick. My dogs are both sick. My husband has been gone for 10 days in which I have been solo dealing with our child, our house, our families, work, etc. I went out of town this weekend and spent both days running in circles. My daughter won't let me lay her down in the crib when she falls asleep, which means I have had to pee for the last 2 hours and have not eaten anything in 9.5 hours.
You. Do. Not. Get. It.
I love her, but I want to slap her love-sick face.
Re: I have to say this before I hurt some feelings . . .
I know exactly how you feel. It's like when I tell someone DH is deployed and they say "Oh, I know how you feel. My husband had to go on a 3 day business trip once." Like it's exactly the same....
10 days is a long time for your husband to be away. I can't even imagine how much harder it is with a child. Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do in these situations except stew about it alone (or rant on here of course!).
Ack, why do people feel like they have to relate? Just say it sucks and move on! People do to me about my back. Some people just say, "Oh, I hurt my back once I can't imagine what it would be like everyday." That's fine. But the people who say, "Oh, I know what you're going through. I picked up a box wrong once - it hurt." No, it's actually not so much like that.
You're a trooper, lady. We rarely even see you complain on here and it can't be easy, especially with a job, a baby, dogs, etc, etc, etc.
