With a broken heart, how to be strong for my solider?

Question

He's gone away for 3 weeks for some training then home for a week. We're able to text and have quick phone conversations, but im getting a vibe that he doesn't care and isn't concerned about how I am. I always tell him I miss him and i love him, and I ask him how his days been. Then I ask him more questions. With him, he tells me he loves me and misses me but I dont believe it over the phone like I did in person. Hes only been gone less than a week and Im depressed and lonely and getting paranoid about his intentions. I feel like I have something to say but I dont know what. I want him to know I love and miss him but I also want him to know Im a mess without him without actually bluntly saying it. I dont need him to worry about me. Oh god, just help me.please

Plus,im a little frustrated that hes drinking beers with his buddies at camp and im home crying and depressed reading books. i dont feel up to going out

Answer 1

He may just be very focused on the job. The military can do that to you, especially combat arms.

p.s. You need to support him unconditionally while he is in unifrom. Nothing worse than having to worry about a loved one and still function in that environment. Hide your fears until he comes home.
