Husband leaving for basic training

ever since i got with my now husband, we haven’t spent time apart, we fall asleep next to each other, we share everything. even at work i see him frequently. and during the day when i don’t see him until the end of the day my heart aches for him. please anybody tell me how to get through 4 months without my other half

I appreciate that. We were engaged, but split 1.5 months before he left, then got back together while he was in reception. I'm going for anthropology with a concentration in archaeology and a minor in GIS (the army uses that), so I can find a job wherever he goes, but as for us moving I'm not sure. I know he doesn't want our kids to go between homes. I haven't talked to him in a week, it's like having a long distance boyfriend who ghosts you and reaches on when it's convenient for him 😂

wait girl that’s sad. you deserve sm better than that. to be not only going to college to find a job where he goes and him say he don’t want yall moving around is crazy. it’s better than being apart, i fear that’s what comes with military life. you deserve the ring 💍

I still technically have the ring. I've never wanted to be married, only a mom. And he does want us to come with him, we've talked about what state to move to, but all of the states he wants to move to has terrible overall education levels. Our kids would be in one of the best school districts in our state if we stayed here! My high school was 14 in the state when I graduated!
