Deployment Disconnection
Hi everyone, I'm not new to this life but this is our first deployment together. I'm feeling extremely disconnected from my husband and it just makes me sad. We had planned to do like video call date nights, care packages ect. Well as of now his schedule changed from what it was supposed to be and he isn't having a day "off" like what was initially discussed. So then we were like okay care packages that's away for us to stay connected... haha jk no care packages are being able to be delivered where he is located. I've tried writing him "letters" and for me it just feels stupid (if it works for you I am soooo happy) so then I tried sending like little videos throughout the day to try and update him... welp he either doesn't open them or just has nothing to say about them... he has made an effort to call everyday which I truly do appreciate but honestly I think we are both soooo disconnected. He can't say anything about what's going on where he is, what he is doing for work ect and so then that leads me doing all the talking and honestly I live a very simple life so not much to talk about... and I guess mixed with the disconnection is just out right exhaustion. We thankfully don't have kids but we do have a dog who is high energy, he left gear all over the house i am now having to pick up and cleanup, my dish washer completely broke so now I have to wash dishes by hand (which i know shouldn't be a big deal but with everything else going on in life it's just one extra thing to do), i have to call the phone company to dispute charges, call the rental insurance to change the address, renew our lease... the list goes on. So our dishwasher crapping itself was just the icing on the cake so I finally just lost it.... and I did inform my husband and I know he was probably just trying to find the good in things (a new dishwasher) but to be honest it just pissed me off.... idk if I'm looking for advice or just venting but if you made it this far thank you.
