My husband and I have been married for 3 months and he is in the navy and this is they frist time he deployes. I just want friends to talk to about it..... All my friends here at home dont understand what it is like. I cant do the family support groups because since he left to go overseas i moved back home which is 3 hours away from the base. So i am just looking for other wives that just want to talk.......

If your family isn't doing it for you ,, you should have stayed at base, then you would have had support and understanding of the other wives. My husband works over seas most of the year, i have been with him for 12 years and married to him for 7 years. It isn't easy and i talk to him often at least 2 hours a day some times. I am in Australia while he is in London, Italy , China, Brazil, Canada etc. I don't see him for months, i keep busy with friends (no they don't understand) but i make the most of what i have. Get a job even part time, a hobby might help a bit. I will tell you don't just sit there doing nothing time goes slower and days seem long. All the best chin up.

Hi, I understand what youa re going through. It's better when you can talk to someone that can relate to your situation. My loved on is in the Army and I won't see him until Christmas. It's a lonely road, specially during the holidays.
Being a Navy spouse , is a full time job itself. Be strong, at least you are surrounded by family and friends.... I'm stranded in the middle of nowehere and I have to family to talk to, It's hard, but the rewards are great.
Hang in there, you are not alone.
Best wishes
You can email me, just go to my profile if you would like to contact me ... YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!! : )

Be careful which military wives you are hanging with. Some of them end becoming hordes of drunk women who cheat on their husbands. If you hang out with these, sooner or later, you will do the same.
