Hey everybody!

How do you deal with the deployments, when your patner is gone for a few months and you cannot contact him at all?

I will listen to all tips, advices.. Don't hesitate!

Thank you!

Nobody?

You can't really do anything to hear from your SO, even briefly? If so, for how long?

Luckily, I've never been in your situation, but the only thing I can say is the tried and true: stay busy. If you can't talk to them for months, then distract yourself for those months until you can. I'm not sure what else to tell you other than maybe letters in order to stay in contact at least a little? Best of luck to you!

My ex-SO was in the military when we first got together. He specialized and would be pulled away for a week or a few months with no warning. I didn't know where he was and there was no way to reach him. I kept myself busy. There was nothing I could do about it, so sitting and being sad or upset about it didn't help at all.

When an SO is deployed, the last thing they need to be worrying about is their SO back at home. They need to focus and know that they can trust you and that you will be ok while they are gone.

He still will have a home base with an APO address. Send him mail. Sometimes they can forward it to him where he is. If not, he'll have mail to read when he gets back to home base and know you were thinking of him.

Just emails. For two months approximately.

You are right, it can happen at anytime and I have to do stuffs. That's already what I'm doing even if he's still there. For mail, I will not be able, but I can email him, at least..
