Like the title says im lonley. I miss my hubby! We are newley married as of sept 15th. I miss him beacause i never see him and when i do he is sleeping and he does not want to be woken up. See i work during the day and him during the night. Well by the the time i get home it is time for him to go to work and when he gets home im off to work. It is really getting me mad at having to work these long hours never see my hubby and get paid virtually nothing. When we do have a day off toghether i am always tired and emotionally hard to deal with. He told me to quit my job and to take on babysitting but i still dont know if we could make enough money to pay all of our bills. I just wanted to get that out. Does anyone want to share storys or exchange wise words?
Kinda bored and never can sleep at night anyways so im here at the comp.

Ahhh, I'm so sorry to hear that you guys are going thru that. Especially being newlyweds. Who is that guy in your pic? The best man? I hope things get better for you guys. It's sweet of your husband to say you could quit your job if you wanted to. But I understand the it's not that easy due to the money part. Good luck.

Hi Allison,
I'm also an army wife. You are so lucky atleast you see him in the night. From the day we were married he gets 7 days off for a month (he works far a way in a battle field)and sometimes he does not get that leave too. Yes I do miss him very much but we have to face the reality. I too was working but had to quit because when he comes home only for those few days I had to go to work and we have only few hours of staying together.
Just like you I too thought that we'll never be able to survive without my job, but after a much thought gave up the job. Don't just stay at home you can do a part time job or do something that you can stay at home and earn money. Learn something while doing the job and then quit and start something of your own. By doing this you'll be able to have a happy family life.
