Oh the joys of Deployment

Technology is a double edged sword. I am so glad we have it and can use it, but  right now I wish I didn't have it. 

We only text and every once in awhile, email. No phone calls, rarely face time and no Skype. It is almost impossible to feel or see emotions through emails and texts. I feel like if I don't get home from NC and get busy right away, I'm going to have a meltdown. I tried to tell him that I need to see his face, I need to hear his voice, I need to see the emotions in his eyes when we talk....but he isn't listening and resentment is creeping in. It's too the point where I don't have anything to say during our "text session" every day because I'm becoming even more bitter.  

I don't understand, if face time is an option, why would he rather text then see my face? I know he isn't, and this is my own insecurity but it makes me feel like he's hiding something. I hate this. I hate this deployment and how it's changed us. I hate that I'm becoming resentful and bitter. 

THIS is why I don't date military. This is exactly what I knew would happen because I've seen it a thousand times with my brothers. I was just naive enough to think it wouldn't happen to me, to us, because our relationship was amazing before he left. 

I couldn't sleep last night so I went scrolling through old text messages. Bad idea. It made me even more upset because I miss that side of him. I miss the cute little messages he would send. I miss the sweet, doting side that I fell in love with. Right now I have the cold, emotionless, soldier side and I hate it. 

How am I going to do this for 8 more months?? 

I need to get home and get busy. This being on vacation thing is making it so much worse.
