A month married & more than half apart
We got married just over a month ago. He had to leave 3 days after we eloped, he spent the next week in another state doing some training. Came back home a week later he was sent on mission to another state and hes been gone 4 weeks. I just moved to this state, i know no one, everything around me is new. Ive been in our house the entire time he's been gone, going out only about once a week to buy food. I know there are spouse groups and support on base but its a drive and im quite shy. I just need to rant. I don't blame him, its his job. And i know i could be doing other things, like getting a job or meeting people but i honestly dont even want to get out of bed sometimes. My mom calls me everyday to distract me from being alone and to give me some human interaction. My sister made a comment to my mom today that she was hungry and i said me too, and she said to bad you dont have anyone, it really hurt. I know she didnt mean anything bad by it and as soon as she realized what she had said she apologized. I didnt want them to see me cry so before the knot in my throat could turn into physical tears i said im going to bed goodnight and hung up. Im happy with him, he is honestly the only thing that keeps me sane. I dont want to worry him so i just dont go into to much detail about how i hate how our bed feels when he's not in it, or how i havent eaten anything that took more than 3 minutes to heat up in the microwave, or how the garden i was so excited about keeping alive is just sticks in a pot now. I know im an adult now, i want to go back to school, and i want to find a good job, and i want to take care of myself for him and for me, i just would love mout being alone while i do it.
