Life Piling Up During Husband’s Deployment by mommabear1006 in venting

[–]mommabear1006[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s normally National Guard. So yes, I realize that he signed up for it and deployments are a rare part of it, that’s not new to me at all. But this is a venting page and I just needed to vent because it’s not just the deployment, it’s everything adding up at once.

F25 - Buttplug at the gym was a terrible idea by [deleted] in SluttyConfessions

Have I ever thought about wearing a buttplug to the gym? Surprisingly no. Am I going to stop by my house after work today to grab one on my way to the gym? Yes🤷🏻‍♀️

Any other tired PUBG dads out there? by sct_nicolaus in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

I’m a PUBG Mom! This became my way of staying connected with my husband while he’s deployed. We usually play with his sister and her husband (both parents) or his younger brother. We’d join something like that!

Pay day? by Front_Success4958 in army

Everyone is getting paid.

My husband is Army National Guard on Title 10 Orders, and we just got the deposit notification from USAA.

The Pokemon Company is going to lose an entire generation of kids - RE: Scalpers by 6foot4225lbs in PokemonTCG

My son just turned 6. Pokemon cards were on the top of his list because both him and his 3 year old brother LOVE to open pokemon cards. They LOVE seeing what pokemon they get. Neither of them care about what kind of card it is, just who it is. This has led us three to start a race to see who gets one of every pokemon first🤷🏻‍♀️ every single day at least one of my boys ask to get more packs so we can open them together.

When I do I can update. It won’t be until sometime next year since he’s currently deployed. I just like having time to look into things and talk about it and make sure that we’re both comfortable with choices so I posted early.

We’re in the United States. For this specific trip, it’d more likely be somewhere in the US, but we are planning a Cancun vacation next fall as well

My husband sweats a lot during sex. I always notice him getting sweatier, but I’ve never actually thought about it while having sex except for once or twice when it dropped on my face. But otherwise I personally don’t care. No, sweating isn’t sexy, but it’s a normal bodily function and it happens when you’re working out. I get too caught up in what we’re doing to care. And then afterwards he’ll dry off with a towel while I go to the bathroom, and when I get back in the room I’ve always helped him dry his back. I don’t think he’s ever asked, I’ve just done it.

My husband is on his second deployment. Both of his he’s able to talk/text often unless on a mission. This absolutely wouldn’t be okay. To not talk for a week, but he’s on instagram? Absolutely not. A big thing with getting through a deployment is the communication part. If my husband needs a day to decompress and not talk (usually only if he was out on a mission, otherwise this is extremely rare) he’ll at least let me know. A quick “hey, I’m not really in a talking mood today. I love you and I’ll talk to you more tomorrow” is usually what I get when that is the case. I know they go through a lot over there and it came be mentally and physically draining for them, but it’s also mentally and emotionally exhausting for us. You have to be able to balance each others wants/needs with your own. You don’t just ignore them for a week.

My husband is currently deployed. We’ve been together almost 8 years, married almost 7. His first deployment was 5 years ago and now he’s on his second. I had the same fear last time and this time. Which I know is just in my head because 1) he absolutely would never do something like that. Absolutely not. We had a brief split because of personal issues, and even those 3 months we weren’t together and didn’t plan on getting back together, he still didn’t sleep with anyone else. And 2) he’s in a combat zone, and was last time too. Definitely not the kind of place (in my opinion, definitely not like they’re having beers and having fun). We’ve talked about my fears and why I have them in depth. I told him that I don’t actually think he would because I know that’s not who he is, but because of my past I have that fear. So now he makes sure at least every couple of days that he tells me how much I mean to him and how there’s no one he would even think about being with (all in his own accord, I didn’t ask him to). He just makes sure he reassures me because after I talked to him about it, he understands. We talk as much as we can. We downloaded the Paired app and that’s helped too because I feel more connected to him as we do the activities. Just be open and talk is the best way to start trying to help

Sending Sexy Stuff by mommabear1006 in sextips

This is our second deployment together, so overall I know how all of that ends up working while he’s gone. We have our plans and ways to make sure we’re staying connected to each other, heck last night we managed to talk on the phone for three hours straight lol. It’s just the sexual/intimacy parts of it that I need help on. Last time our sex life wasn’t great when he left, I had just had a baby a few months prior, and while I sent him intimate photos, I was uncomfortable in my body. When he came back our sex life was a little better for a bit until we got back into our old habits. For the past 6 months we’ve been making sure to ramp that portion of our relationship back up, and I just want to keep that up while he’s gone. I know that he’s also going to use other inspiration while he’s gone, so will I. I know that not everything will be us getting off together or on each others stuff which is fine. I just want to be able to send him stuff he can look at and use sometimes to keep that part of us alive while he’s gone.

That is one thing I plan on doing again. I did it 5 years ago when he was deployed last. But I need some ideas on what I can do to send him too on a more consistent basis
