Well I can relate, me and my husband were really rocking our first year, after we got married it was like he didn't want to be with me, about 4days before he left for BC he told me he wasn't sure what he wanted and that he's been feelin that a while, but since he's been gone he's a completely different person. He says he was just frustrated and stressed about leaving but he wants to be with me forever! I was freaking out until he said that. Guys don't seem to know how to vent their emotions... If he saying he needs to see you then yall will be okay. Give him a little time and he should go back to normal!
Keep me posted on how yall work out :) -

Thanks so much, I hope so. I know he doesn't vent well, because he'll not talk to me when something is bothering him, even if it's about one of his friends, before he left for the Navy he wouldn't even see me the day he wasn't doing well. and last week was a bad one for him, he didn't know where he was going, when he be going there and a lot of is close friends were leaving one after the other. So I don't know. I just love him so much, you know? I'm so happy you and your husband worked everything out. =)

Thanks, so much! I've been talking with his shipmate, and he says we need to talk and see each other, he thinks it's the distance. C told me I needed to learn to love myself before him and to do things I wanna do. which goes with hat your saying.

I'm planning on doing that this next semester, I'm just trying to figure out what career and where the money is coming from. I think he thinks I still want to join the Navy myself, and one reason for me not is because of us, and now I just don't want too, but I don't think he believes me because it's something I wanted to do longer then he did... grrr. ahaha.

I can't even say why I don't exactly want to, I've told him I really want to be a wife and mom, and to have a career that works around them, not the other way around. He told me I need to learn to love myself first and do things for me.. I've always had a low sense of self worth, which has changed drastically, and I'm not in a place to do things for me. I don't have a license because my family won't teach me or don't have the time too, and I can't afford a car, so I'm trying to get a better job but with this economy it's kinda hard, I'm playing my cards as best I can, so I thought anyways. This has made me realize though, that I need to be more aggressive and to really go for what I want, which is maybe what he was getting at.

I can relate to you, a lot my bf has been talking about breaking up with me, because he thinks i deserve better, someone that is there for me and someone that i can go out on dates with instead of just a skype date or a phone call. Hang in there and I really hope things get better for you guys.
