Hey Everyone,
Sorry I have neglected the site for a few weeks. I'm just really begining to have a harder time with Chad gone. I know it sounds like a soap opera, but I get so upset and cry all the time. Especially when he calls me because he misses home and once in a while cries to me. I'm not used to him doing that. He'* always been the strong one. Now it seems like we're switching roles and it'* my turn to be his back bone when he needs it. But it'* hard because I'm so torn up over this. I try to hang out with my friends from work alot but even then, I think about him the entire time. One thing that has really gotten to me is some of my guy friends talking about him being gone and then hitting on me(the other night I was having a couple drinks with two of them and one tried to get me to drink more when I said I had enough because I needed to make it home, kinda felt like he was crossing the line). I kind of laugh it off and move on, but it feels like they're disrespecting mine and Chad'* relationship. I don't want to be torn from him emotionally by someone else. I'm not interested in anyone nor could I ever be. BTW June 16th was 1 year for him and I. My longest so far! *Knocks on wood* Anywho, I'm off to bed bc I know some of you are thinking " o geez here come the waterworks". Sorry to bug those of you who do!

Melissa, I am glad to see that you and Chad are able to be there for eachother. I am glad that while you and him are apart your able to still communicate and lean on eachother for support which is good for the next time he has to do this. Quit hanging out with anyone who is being disrespectful to you and Chad'* relationship. Cool beans on the 1 yr anniversary
and no is worried about the waterworks. We're all here for eachother.

Hang in there. If you and Chad both feel this way, your love is much stonger than you both thought. This is a test to that. As far as the guy friends, open up a can of whoop *** on them and tell them like it is RAW. Sometimes its the only way to get it across that your relationship with Chad, even though he is not with you, is solid!!
Hang in there Kiddo. Your going to be okay

Hang on Melissa, you'll figure things out and get through somehow.
As for the uncouth actions of your male "so-called" friends, try siccing your female friends on them. After a few rounds of being ground into the dirt by accusatory women, they'll stop.

Melissa...hold on tight...we are all here for you. It is understandable to feel the way you do. I did a lot of tours while flying in the USAF, therefore, Ican relate and know how Chad feels. Even after I left the service, I thought it was over, nevertheless, I ended in Panama and the 1st Gulf War as a civilian. There are many of us in this board that have served or currently serve in the military...believe it or not...even Wilwren!!! Yep...he was a Conehead...excuse me...ooops!!!...Jarhead...
