Deployments suck. Plain and simple. You never know what's going on over wherever they are at. You have to trust that they are being faithful and know they are trusting you to be faithful, and if you have kids they are trusting you to take care of what needs to be done.
Being a military girlfriend, boyfriend, fiance, wife, or husband is not easy. However, the reward of seeing their smile and getting to be in their arms again after being apart makes up for it. It definitely separates the girls from women and boys from men.
No matter what branch they are in or what job they have, they will most likely be deployed at some point. Being deployed doesn't always mean Iraq or Afghanistan, but it doesn't make it any easier.
The best advice I can give is to keep yourself busy and it will help keep your mind off of it for the most part. No matter what anyone says, it will never get easier. You will get use to it and become stronger, and find ways to deal with it better. There are groups you can join, pages on Facebook to ask questions.
Remember, you are not alone.
