So I am on FB chatting with a friend in the same boat as me and who happens to call.
W "hey. what are you doing"
M "not much you?"
W "just driving back from moms house."
M "oh thats good. rough weather today huh"
W "yeah it rained all day"
M "u get wet?"
W "yeah I am not water proof"
M "lol you sound a little down. everything ok?"
W "yeah just one of those days"
M "i am sorry you are having a rough day"
W "the other job called"
M "thats great."
W "yeah one crappy job for another. i won't take it if the pay is less or the hours stink"
M "well I am sure you will make the right call either way"
Talked some small talk for a little bit
M "well i talked to my buddy who is in the same boat as us"
W "how is he doing with his W"
M "they are doing pretty good actually. they have more contact and are starting to work things out"
W "I would like to talk to his W. Friends don't really understand. They listen but at the end of the convo they go home to their H. its like trying to talk to a friend while you were deployed. Yeah they hear you but don't really get the feeling. The ups and downs. I talk to my mom some she kind of gets it"
M "i know exactly what you mean. I have met a few people in our sitch and it amazes me how much they understand. It has helped. People who have not gone through it don't get it"
W "You have to have gone through this to understand it"
Talked a few more minutes then
W "Are you going to be up awhile?"
M "yep"
W "well I am going to change I just got home. I will call you back in a little bit"
