I
I have been struggling constantly with the idea of getting married and moving and all of that. It doesn't feel remind myself that every time I am with my family or friends that this time next year I wouldn't be with them. Going to the zoo with my little sister, laughing at my little brother's awkward teen phase, well I have 7 siblings lol so I go on for days about them. I'm not sure if it's doubt or fear, it should be both. I don't really know how I am supposed to get over my life, my career does not bother me as much. Yesterday at the non-profit that I work with that helps the women's shelter, we came up with this wonderful project for the holidays. Of course my friend emailed me the details since I was at home in BED.. The personalization of everything in my life at home can't be replaced at some base. It just wouldn't be the same. The more I think about it, the more unhappy I become so I don't think as easily done as marriage can be. I don't want to get married at all right now, especially not to just constantly being alone. I don't know anything about the military so this a whole new experience all in itself for me, so is a high risk pregnancy, long distance relationship. It's going to feel ridiculously to always be alone 70% of the time, it's like having an imaginary man. I've never been in a long distance relationship, for someone you spent everyday with it's hard to even begin to imagine.. 6 month deployments??? (What?) The navy was his decision and I felt I should not hinder what his goals are in life because he seems pretty solid about the Navy even now. This has nothing to do with our relationship, I don't want to be alone, if I have to be, I want to be near my family, friends, and my life.
If my child isn't going to have a father in the picture that much, at least it would be great to have Grandmas, aunts, uncles, my friends who will cherish him. It feels incredibly frustrating to have no connection whatsoever with someone you love.
Reading letters previously written makes feel like that Sandra Bullock Movie, (The lake house) where one was in the past and one was in future.
I don't know if this what cold feet is called or whatever but I don't do anything I am unsure about. Marriage is definitely on hold until I feel assured.
I don't know what relevance this has to my rant but I know my fiance's PIR is umm 6 days and so many hours away, and I feel so mad. I don't where this anger is coming from because I have looked on my calendar, I've had this marked and I was excited previously thinking about it. I don't know if it is because I can't go so now I'm just mad. And particularly just mad at him, * I want attention from him* lol honestly I think that's it, is that pregnancy thing???
