I don't know how you military wives or even other military girlfriends do it... I've been with my fiancé for a year now (known each other for 4 years before we started dating and got engaged). We are both Active Duty military (you'd think it would be easier for us because we are both military). In 2014 I was deployed while Jared was back at Ft Hood. It was hard but we got through it. Now Jared is deployed and gone and for some reason I'm finding this deployment A LOT harder than my deployment.. I feel so lost and empty without him here with me. I try to throw myself into work, gym and sending him care packages monthly... but I'm at a loss and missing him and not having him here is getting overwhelming and we are only half way through this deployment. Has anyone else got to this point? What did you do? What can I do to make it through the rest of these months?!
