05.01.26
It’s been 4 years since we last spoke (blog) so much has happened.
I got married 08.01.22 - We spent the first year of our marriage in Bulford. 09.01.22-13.02.23 leaving Bulford broke my heart in a way I’ll never be able to explain. It was our first home and I was still adjusting to military life, being married, being away from family and the place I grew up.
We got posted to London (central) 13.02.23-05.09.25 I never thought I’d like London but I had no choice to get used to it and grew to love it. Unfortunately London work life took a toll on both mine and my husband’s mental health, it also took a toll on our marriage. My husband was away on guard days at a time, working from 4:30am till 7:30pm sometimes up to 10:30pm. I worked long shifts, my mind sent started to become “it’s almost as if the army knows what shifts I’m on to make sure he’s home when I’m working and not home when I’m home”.
My husband and I were promised a better life if he transferred to a different regiment. He went to Catterick February 2025 and finished June 2025, we got our posting order and I was excited. That small part of me who didn’t want to be in London came back. September 5th 2025 was the day we moved into our new home. This is where we are today. We’ve been here for 4 months now and I’m not going to lie, I miss London so very much. I’ve even gone to the lengths of thinking we were better off there than we are here. I hardly see my husband, we hardly ever spend time together. Is it his work or is our marriage just not working anymore? We’ve spent more nights apart than we have together. I know I love him though.
Maybe I’ll post here again soon? Who knows..
