My Fiancee is station in Iraq how do i deal with the stress and not worry so much?

Answer 1

Physical activity helps with stress. Write him often. Try to have positive thoughts. Keep busy with your friends. I will pray that he comes home safely. Good luck to you both.

Answer 2

Having been, and still am, a military wife (10+years) I have a few pointers for getting through those long periods without your loved one. First of all, remember that your fiancee loves you, but the military owns him. Always will until he gets out. This fact was hard for me in the beginning, but I learned to just be proud of what my husband does. It's not his fault for having to leave you. Write to him as often as you can and if you can send care packages, do that as well. The food the military serves over there is not like home cooking! Look forward to any letters, even short ones, emails, even those 10 word ones, and those phone calls, even those 2 minute ones. These may be all you get and that can be disappointing, but they can also make your day. Take care of yourself and get involved with something that will help keep your mind off of things, even if only for a few hours each week. You won't be able to take care of him when he gets back if you don't take care of yourself. Don't feel guilty for having fun without him. I did this the first time my husband went and I had a horrible time while he was gone. Turns out, he didn't want me to do this. He wanted me to still "live." The last thing I can say to you is that no matter what you do, you will always worry and always be stressed about it. If you intend to be a military wife, you're going to have to get tough. The military way of life is not always easy. I've learned to embrace the motto "bring it on!" My husband just left again, so I really know how you feel. I wish you the best of luck these next months without him!

Answer 3

Its not easy, but with this I tell you from being there with you.. Find a hobby, try to get out as much as you can, talk him into getting a cell phone there so you can call him, and hold him dear to your heart.. He is going to be ok, he will be home sooner then never and you will have him then.. Keep your chin up and think of the happy times.. That is what I do.. good luck.. and god bless your husband

Answer 4

Always make sure you tell him that you love him whenever you get to talk to him. That's a really important thing to do, pretty much with whoever you really care about. So many people don't do that enough. Also just try to take things as they come. Stay happy and pray, and always be a wonderful support system for your future husband. I hope everything works out great for you!!!!!!
