My Marine sometimes thinks I know stuff or I was born knowing. Well, I have news for you pal, we do not. All his years in the Marines have turned him into thinking that everybody is like him or lives in his same circumstances. I once read a "don't tread your Marine as a civilian" (I may have changed that a bit). Well, nothing more true than that. My days of getting mad for not getting a call when he said he was going to, or not knowing from him in days are gone...who? me? I would not tolerate that! yes, that was the old me.Im just saying WE NEED TRAINING TOO. The same way they go on bootcamp we should go to, haha at last a: DON'T LOOSE YOUR MIND CAMP. There are a lot of things I've learned on a web, by reading from other girls, things that I then ask him and he clarifies but I think to myself: gee, you could of told me that and save me tons of angriness, despair and concern. For example, while he was deployed I asked him: is it true that while on deployment you could go on a mission for weeks and that you could be uncommunicated? he looked to the skies and said: yes baby. What in the heavens?! that would be good to know you know? if your man is on deployment you would certainly want to know THAT was a possibility.
Now every time something is going to happen: he is taking a leave, he is driving to a new school, whatever, I tell him: baby, give me training. Meaning: give me some of your minutes and walk me through this, tell me what is going to happen, for how long I could not hear from you, can I write or call...that kind of stuff.
And even though, I always feel unprepared :(
