it gets harder, not easier. each goodbye is one more stab at the heart and I have to constantly repeat to myself “this is only temporary.” how many more goodbyes do we have to say before we can live at peace? how many more lonely nights do we have to sleep through to finally be able to fall asleep wrapped in each others arms? it’s difficult living in this constant fear that one day you will forget me, one day you might not return, and finally when you do return there can be a call any minute thay can once again separate us. but we are worth it. we are worth the wait. we are worth the daily struggle because our love is strong enough to conquer this. this is not permanent and eventually we will get our happy ending. the distance will not destroy us.

“Oh wow, I could never be away from my BF/husband that long. I love him way too much.”

[lovingmicahgrey-blog]

The truth about loving a man defending the red, white, & blue.

Y'all think military love is glorious and beautiful? Let me tell you what it’s like to love a man in the military.

I swore I’d never date a man in the military because I couldn’t handle being away from the person for so long. Joke was on me, right?

We met less than a year before he deployed. I found out the man I was falling in love was leaving for a year shortly after starting to fall for him. How is that fair? Things were finally going the way I hoped.

He was supposed to be on a year long deployment. J got a call from him 2 months in. He told me it would be 18 months until he saw me again. 18. Damn. Months.

My son will be 18 months old before they meet.

He goes inactive on Facebook messenger(our contact source) for days and I have no way of knowing that he is okay until he replies to my message.

I hardly sleep. I cry when I see homecoming videos because I want so badly for it to be us in that video. I cry when I hear love songs. Or when I hear a Darius Rucker song because that was the concert we attended together. I cry when I see couples dance at weddings or when I think about him being home again.

I cry because of how much I miss him.

And when he’s home? I pray he doesn’t get orders for another base because my entire life has been spent in this town.

Military love isn’t glorious. It’s hard. You don’t know when they’re going to get a call that they are being sent somewhere you can’t go. You don’t know when you’ll be able to talk to them or see them again. You don’t know if you will see them again. When they go inactive, you don’t know if they are hurt, dead, or just on a mission.

Don’t ever fucking tell me military love is glorious. The only glorious aspects are the love you share with the person and the moment you see that person again.

Waking up at 5 AM sucks when my husband’s alarm is set for 7 for him to walk out of the door for a month. I have just been laying here cuddling his heated body while the air outside of the covers would bring chills and goosebumps to my arms and legs if it wasn’t for him. I really hate when he leaves. I’m always cold in ways that an extra blanket wouldn’t help.

I hate when people try to invalidate someone missing their SO just because they aren’t in a LDR. So what? I missed my husband when he was 6,000+ miles away & I miss him when he’s 5 minutes down the road at work. My missing him doesn’t change with distance. He’s my guy and I like being around him. You don’t have to be in different countries, states, or even towns to be allowed to miss your SO.

What is your biggest tip for a good relationship?

[chum-n-mum-deactivated20200807]

Never EVER end the day with an unresolved argument and not saying I love you.

Don’t expect them to change things about themselves that upset you without reciprocating some change yourself.

Always talk about your day and hang out with each other over a movie and some snacks, doesn’t have to be a big O’ date it’s the company that matters.

Share each other’s interests and hobbies, theirs nothing like the excitement of secondhand fandom and your partner getting excited over something you love.

Never make any rash decisions while in a fight because it can really hurt a relationship. And know how to deal with each other if mad, not all girls want to be held when mad or talk when mad, some need space to calm down. And same with men.

Strive to make them happy without expecting anything in return because they will in turn reciprocate with honesty and love.

Don’t tell family or people who have trouble with relationships your relationship issues or problems. They’ll meddle and make shit worst and try to make your break up over something you just wanted to vent about and didn’t even think it was all that serious.

Deployment is officially over!

[amilitarylove]

Just said goodnight to Charlie while he is 800 miles away FOR THE LAST TIME. Tomorrow he starts heading home FOREVER!! So to everyone who is just starting out in the milso life, to anyone who doesn’t think they will make it through a full enlistment long distance, I’m here to tell you you can! I’m here to show you that you absolutely can! In the end it went by fast. Sure we had fights and the middle of it was the toughest but it turned out fine in the end. All the time apart but whenever we see each other it’s like nothing has changed and no time has gone by. Believe in yourself - Ally

I miss you. I miss you everywhere. I miss you all the time. I miss everything about you.

Rant

I see so many posts across social media platforms about how milso’s do this, they do that. The original poster is usually complaining about these milso’s. My first question is, how are you going to fault someone for basically living differently from you? Not everyone handles things the same way nor has the same ideas, thoughts, etc. Secondly, you know what these milso’s go through, so why continue to put them down? 

It’s not that hard to be a good person. If you think someone is going about something the wrong way, then reach out to them. Whether or not they take your advice is up to them. But it is a shit load of a lot better than posting anonymously about it... 

Lift people up.
