Ok, here it goes. My husband is in the military, and when he has to leave it is HORRIBLE!! This last time he left it was only from Tuesday until Friday. I don't understand why I react the way I do. I try to psych myself up about a week before he leaves I start preparing myself, it DOES NOT HELP!! The night before he goes and he starts to pack I loose it. I cry, and cry and cry. Then to wake up and watch him go, I cry and cry and cry, then to come home to an empty house, I cry and cry and cry. I feel like I can't function. I know this is not good for him at all and t make it worse, he loves me and doesn't want me to be this upset. It makes it really hard on him, and it has to STOP!!! Im not psycho with it, I don't have to know what he is doing every moment of every day, he can work nights, and I miss him but I don't cry and feel totally helpless.

    That's really selfish the poor guy wants to go a lot less than you. Don't five him a hard time he probably has enough to worry about

    I had a boyfriend in the reserves i loved very much my freshman year of college and I would cry myself to sleep every night when he told me he had to go to Afghanistan, worst feeling in the world.

    Ask him to work on base. If it bothers you that much I'm sure he'll find a way to work it out but it's not healthy for you to be in this much turmoil.

    Ask him not to tell you when he's leaving coz it's not helping you. He could also pack when you're out. Keep the distress for you and him to a minimum but I'm sure he understands your fear and loneliness.
