Well it's a new month and a new start for me, I'm attempting to be more optimistic and get into some nice healthy routines, baby allowing lol

Dh and I have been having a few problems lately and last night I discovered why. I'm terrified and was doing my usual run away before things can happen.
Basically Dh is away for the next three weeks on Pre-Deployment Training and he's off to Afghanistan in April, I honestly thought I was alright but clearly I'm not coping quite as well as I thought I would. Still now we now what the problem is we can at least deal with it.

SO I've had a good start to November, how's everyone else doing???

Happy November to you too sweets! That sounds like a very good plan for this month and I shall attempt to join you on the optimism part at least!

I'm sorry you and DH haven't been getting on well but it's good that you've found the source of the issue and can work on feeling better about it, as much as is possible. I'm sure your DH totally understands how you are feeling.

Here's to a more positive month!

Take Care, Lisa XxX

Hey hun

Getting to the real root of a problem is the secret to a healthy marriage if you ask me! Over the years (we were together for almost 8 years before our wedding) me and DH have hit obstacles and started getting snappy and falling out etc... then one of us says "right, we're arguing too much, what the REAL problem here?" and once we've discussed it and figured it out, things always get good again.

I really do not envy you - I get nervous and anxious when DH goes away for just one night for work (last week it was 5 days - awful!) so I cannot imagine knowing he's going for weeks/months... I think you're a hero to be an army wife I really do xx

And remember - women are like teabags: you don't realise their strength til they're in hot water. You will be fine I promise! PMA is a great start :)

hey Kel that was a really good post - really wise and i love the tea bag bit!

what very good advice - i will tuck that away inmy air head and use it if the need arises. so thanks for helping me too!

I agree Rach is very strong being an army wife - i would fall to pieces i think - behind every great man is a great woman - or something like that!!!
