Where to begin? Part 2

[Dawgs]

Hi annab74! How are things going?

My H is going to be moving to the opposite coast for his next duty station, so when he leaves here, he will be limited to seeing the kids only on opposite major holidays and a couple weeks during the summer.

Ugh. I couldn't even begin to imagine that!

I truly can't understand how ANY mother could be accepting of leaving her children. On the other hand, being in the military, H has spent half of our children's lives deployed or otherwise apart from our family, so separation isn't something unfamiliar to us. Maybe something similar is going on with your W?

I just don't get it, either. My W has never deployed since having children and has only really been away for a few short TAD's. It really is unfamiliar to us. Even though she really loves them, it almost seems as if she is unfazed by being separated from them. I hope that is not the case. Maybe she talks over that with her own counselor (she is currently having sessions with two counselors).

Lately he has started doing stuff again, but since we are actually in the D process, I don't put much meaning in it.

Wonder what his reason is?

Everything was pleasant, but when D13 stepped out of the room, he asked me out of the blue if I were enjoying my single life, and kept asking me if I were dating anyone. I blew off the question and then D13 walked back into the room and everything was dropped. Very weird and uncomfortable though. I wanted to say..."you're D-ing me, why do you care who/what I'm doing?" lol

Interesting turn of events, eh? I honestly don't know what to make of that. Maybe there are seeds of doubt sprouting? Who knows, though. But that he is coming around again and asking those questions would make me think that maybe there is doubt somewhere in there. Let me put it this way, if I were the one suddenly showing up again and asking questions like that, it wouldn't be because I was just curious...

Keep your chin up!
