Being a devoted wife and mom is challenging before a deployment
My husband and I know we are running out of time, very soon he will be sent to Iraq. Already things have changed i want to catch up on all the sex i will be missing out on for a year, while he on the other hand tends to be distancing himself from me. I read a lot of material that explained that what he is going thru is natural. Often soldiers feel it would be easier to leave a stranger than a wife so they distant themselves. Other soldiers get so distracted thinking about whether or not there wives will run off on them that they stop living in the present. My son is demanding my time so i must go but i will be back to add more on this
