Being away from the person you love is hard. Sometimes the mind wanders and sometimes we can be our own worst enemy. Its not an excuse to be mean but it could be an explanation. I would try writing to him asking him whats going on, I would reassure him that he is worth waiting for and at the same time I would tell him what he said hurt. Letters are everything and the last thing we want to read while they are so far away are bad things. I am sorry that he sent you an unhappy letter. I hope things clear up

The best thing I could tell you is to be positive, have faith and patience. You have done what you could by writing to him telling him how you feel. Do not dwell on what he said because at that moment he may have been in an upset mood but that does not mean you should be upset for the rest of the week until he writes back. Focus on what you have to do for the rest of the week and when he does writes back, you will know what to do then. I think this group is pretty cool because it is a form of support. Surround yourself with people who support you and encourage you. find things you love to do. before you know it, time will fly :) I know its easier said then done, but that does not mean it can not be done.

well my husband has been rude to me ONE time while he has been deployed. I quickly straightened it out. I WILL NOT put up with him treating me like crap bc he is having a bad day, bc I have bad days too and every single day I write him a sweet email and keep my negative emotions out of it. IMO there are things you NEVER say to someone you love no matter how mad you are and there are ways you never treat somone you love no matter how bad your day has been. Right now I would say let it go bc you will probably get to talk to him soon via phone or in person on PIR weekend and you dont want to send an upset letter and then get to talk to him and get it sorted out and then him get the letter and get confused again. if you get to have some alone time with him on PIR weekend I would say sit down and have a short talk with him. Tell him that it upset you and hurt you and ask him what was going on, and then (this is what I would do) make sure he knows that it will not fly ever again. If he is having a bad day he can talk to you about it but that treating you poorly is unacceptable. (I might be a mean wife I have gotten that a few times bc I refuse to accept him treating me like crap and get on him for it no matter what his situation is. Simply not acceptable. IMO)
