I'm really glad that someone else has gone through and is going through this. It's really motivating to hear that you've come to terms with it too... because I'm still working on it. Sometimes it's so frustrating... but you're right, it is for us and it will translate to other parts of our lives later :)<br /><br />Thanks av!<br /><br />xoxo<br />JennaJennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238434752028472905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329513822232771648.post-33696104233968544732011-04-28T09:12:49.461-04:002011-04-28T09:12:49.461-04:00Ohhhhh do I understand the love-hate relationship....Ohhhhh do I understand the love-hate relationship. I feel the EXACT same way about the amount of hours, phone calls, on-call nights and interrupted weekends, dinners, etc. that seem to come into play each week into my life with my Chris too. Learning how to move from resentment to understanding is a constant battle and I fear I am still more on the former than latter side of things. But it does get better and you're right in that long distance prepares you much better for this type of life than anything else. I know those feelings of loneliness are hard, especially since you and I respectively gave up our beloved corners of the country to support our respect significant others... but it IS nice to feel the support from fellow bloggers and those few good friends you manage to find no matter where you go. Hang in there! You rock!<br />Annnnnd I am soo so pumped for the Royal Wedding as well. I have scones and mimosas ready for 4 am.

He's moving here (woo!) and I'm over the moon, don't get me wrong, but I will certainly miss those little weekends where we never turn on the tv, spend all our time together and are just elated with each other's presence.

I've done 7 month deployments and there a times I've gotten just emails for months. Obviously my love-hate relationship is with the military. I love it because my husband loves it and it's his job. But I hate it because it takes him away for days,week, and months at a time to places I wouldn't even want to imagine.

My father worked in Europe from when I was 6 until I was 17 and it was so difficult to have him coming and going all the time. And then he started coming back only every other year or so (one time it had been like 3 years!)...so it is hard to want to support someone but also hate the fact that their job takes up so much time. And, now he lives in Florida! <br /><br />Stay strong! Lovely post!

John's home might be his school, but it doesn't change how tough it is to see him crawling into bed in the middle of the night after practice, classes, lessons and performances. And I often find myself thankful for the year that I spent in SF alone; it equipped me for long evenings making quiet dinners and forced me to make friends so I'd have someone to hang out with on holidays. <br /><br />In the end, I think having a sweetheart who's gone a lot can be really difficult, but it's the couples that appreciate all that hard work that are able to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Eventually.

I worked 9-5 during the day. It basically meant that for the working week we waved hello and goodbye to each other every day. There were times when it was really hard and I wished so much he could get on days. When he finally did it was so great and it really made me appreciate the extra time with him. That's something most people don't get--how valuable time together is. Unless you've had a time where you had to be apart, you don't know how amazing it is to get to be together.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09412092717943205441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329513822232771648.post-89801380671781807432011-04-27T11:15:32.642-04:002011-04-27T11:15:32.642-04:00My boyfriend and I go back and forth between havin...My boyfriend and I go back and forth between having a long distance relationship because we met in school but our parents houses are an hour away from one another. It's not that bad of a drive and we're lucky to be at least relatively close to one another but now we're going to be far from one another again seeing as we're both graduating. I'm going to law school and he starts a job and we have no idea how often we'll see one another. This post gives me hope though.

The weird sleeping till noon awake till 3am schedule, the eating dinner after the games at 11pm, the weirdo groupies. Needless to say, we're finally in the same city now (same apartment, yay!) and I can't believe I see him everyday.christinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919304580246533844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329513822232771648.post-42874219910996775932011-04-27T10:52:16.856-04:002011-04-27T10:52:16.856-04:00Work schedules really suck sometimes.

When I get up in the morning, he's sleeping (and I get dressed in the dark - ha!) and when he gets home at night, I'm sleeping. It really makes us live for the weekends and those two days we actually see each other. I think of it just like you do, that he is working hard now so that when we have a fam, we'll be secure and be able to provide for the little whippersnappers. It's funny, even though I don't see him all week, I start to get complain-y and then remember how strong my best friend (see above! gah, we even comment in unison) is about not seeing her husband for a year+. Really puts it in perspective for me! Her deployment, your post, and my weird schedule make me realize that we all have those times we just have to get through with a good attitude!baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03877044586517984178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329513822232771648.post-28215746909973765552011-04-27T10:24:21.478-04:002011-04-27T10:24:21.478-04:00pre-deployment for my husband and I was just as mi...pre-deployment for my husband and I was just as miserable than the deployment it self. we would find out only a few days (one time a few hours) before he would have to report for weeks long training. he left 2 days after our honeymoon and in the 6 months before he left I only saw him for 3 weeks on and off. but it helped prepare me for him being gone for a year+ ... it was my baby steps. this deployment would probably be harder for me without that time. <br /><br />I think you have a great attitude about everything. love it :)Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00309462251336029598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329513822232771648.post-27666101399851209602011-04-27T10:17:45.439-04:002011-04-27T10:17:45.439-04:00My boyfriend is in the military, & he deploys ...My boyfriend is in the military, & he deploys for two months at a time every two month. While people are quick to remind me that "it could be worse" (& it definitely could be), its really difficult to get into a routine of any sort when his schedule is so up & down. For two months, it's all together, all the time; for the next two, I can't talk to him at all, except by email. It's stressful for both of us, but he's used to it - he chose this line of work, he loves it, he's committed to it, he's stuck with it. We haven't been together that long, but now I'm stuck with it, too, & I'm trying to figure out how to make it work...Kate @ GreatestEscapist.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15697369149059945943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329513822232771648.post-91250875223134931772011-04-27T09:52:34.158-04:002011-04-27T09:52:34.158-04:00I have a love hate relationship with work.

I'm still longing to find my perfect fit. I guess what I'm trying to do is tie this into your question about past experiences shaping my present ones. I left my corporate job last July because I really wasn't happy. I'm working now, but not a position like I was. My current job isn't the perfect place for me, but I'm trying to use it and my past experiences to weed out what I don't want to do and find the right fit.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15055073674797300427noreply@blogger.com
