It wasn't the strain and stress of having to be a single parent for Sharon, the wife of an army pilot and mother of two that tore her marriage apart -- it was the fact that her husband returned from Iraq a "changed man."
Have you ever thought about joining the military? I can't say that I ever have and here are some of my reasons. Please feel free to comment and add yours!
i am TIRED of being STRONG.
babe, i need you here with me. when i sometimes say "i dont know if i can do this" it doesnt mean be with you it means get out of bed everyday.

Oh how I understand. I hate making him feel bad but at the same time I'm starting to loose it. I'm no longer strong.
Just remember somewhere in the back of your mind that he WILL be home again with you very soon. but I know...it sounds a LOT easier than it is
the fact that you choose to stay instead of just bail already means you are a strong woman, no matter if you feel the need to get into bed or stay in. and if today you do feel like staying in bed, then you know what, you have no reason to feel weak for doing so. take your time when you need it. this is how you find the strength to keep moving until he gets home.
Perhaps you need a counselor or medication. I'm sure he feels bad leaving you behind, but whatever you do don't put him on a guilt trip!
Suck it up, babe!
