My husband has been deployed now for almost a year. He left when I was 16 weeks pregnant with my youngest of 3 children. I can’t wait until he comes home but it is going to be hard to get used to him being home again. I’m a totally different person I feel like than when he left. We will be married for 7 years in August and I love him and no I’m not thinking about leaving him that’s not what I’m worried about it just I feel like we’re going to have to learn each other again like a bother first year of marriage.im hoping it will just all fall back into place and we won’t struggle to bad in getting our routine down again

First of all, my thanks to your husband for his service and to your whole family for all the sacrifices you make while he is deployed.

My father served in the RCAF when I was very little, but luckily he was always right at home with us from the time he married my mother. Actually, my daughters have been away from us much more as young cadets than Dad was when he was in the Air Force. They have travelled from one end of the country to another and are often gone for 6-7 weeks at a time. I know it’s very different when a spouse has been deployed for many months

I know it’s very different when a spouse has been deployed for many months, but the girls’ travelling with cadets gives us all the opportunity to learn flexibility in our family. Should any of them ever join the military or become a military spouse, they at least have a general idea what kind of commitment they’ll be getting into.

I wish you and your husband all the best when he returns home. May it be a smooth transition and a loving reunion <3

gosh! You must had missed your hubby very much, separated for 1 year

How about your kids?

They must had missed their daddy too

You must had a hard time raising your kids on your own, you are a daddy and mommy, playing 2 roles at a time

You are indeed a great mommy and wife

Yes, you may have to get used to getting your hubby back

It will be rekindle the old flame again.

There are pros and cons but he is your hubby after all.

I think giving part of your job to him, making him feel at home again like a  daddy would be just nice

Thanks it has been quite the year! I didn’t realize how hard it was going to be just glad I had a support system to help me through it all once this is done and I feel like since we have made it through this we can make it through anything.

Having a military husband requires a very strong wife to face the responsibility alone.You have to show all your love and care to your husband for his work is risky. His job is an honorable job for the sake of the country of his residence, plus during retirement, retirement money us big especially if an official in the military.
