Brad has been gone to boot camp since Tuesday and he'd called me once on Tuesday nite and twice on Wednesday. I didn't hear from him yesterday, nor did I expect to, I didn't expect to hear from him again till he was allowed to send letters in a week or so. Well, today I went to the fair 45 min from me and I left around 1:30 and got home around 8:30. There were 5 messages on my machine, two of which were from him. I feel so bad that I wasn't here to get his phone call because it's not like I'm going to be able to hear his voice all the time. I started welling up when I listened to those messages. I always feel so bad for missing phone calls from people, but this is worse. He'll be gone till January and I may be able to see him before then, but still, it's driving me nuts that I missed his call!! Sorry, just needed to vent. I've always been very panicky and worry-ish about stuff like that. On top of missing the call, the messages he left sounded like he was homesick and sad!! :( And he was giving me some important instructions to cancel one of our bills but I couldn't quite make out what he was saying and I tried to call the number back (it was from a payphone) and all I got was some screeching noise. I just feel awful for missing the call!!
cheer up, like mpp said, he will call back. its hard being away from each other for that long, but the time will pass before you know it. keep you're chin up.i remember when my first husband got sent to germany. i had to wait about 4 months before i was able to go over there too. it seemed like foreverrrrrrr. just find stuff to keep busy and he'll be back before you know it ! when i get real bored , i play that bounce out game. i have gotten so addicted its pathetic . theres always housework too. we all know how much we LOVE that ! lol
I am so sorry....HUGS........ Don't worry though, you'll see him soon enough. You could always come visit me because I'm only a short drive away from him. LOL!!!! Things will get better...
I am sorry that you are down. I would be a mess without kevin. When i was gone for the month of july and only got to see kev on the weekends i was a mess! No worries...everything will be fine and he will be back before you know it. And you always have us!
I understand completely about being upset about missing a phone call. My Junior and Senior year in High school I dated a guy taht was in the navy. I was in Kansas and he was stationed in Washinton state. I got so upset whenever I missed his call. (then I grew up and realized duh! I dont know him very well)
Right after Nathan and I got married, five days later to be exact, he left for Korea. Because of the huge time difference, 15 hours, I never knew when he was going to be able to call. It was a about a week and a half before I heard from him after he left. Worst week and a half of my life. I would still get upset after missing a call, but luckily i was able to talk to him on the computer AND I had the peace of mind knowing that I would see him in 7 months. He was over there a total of a year. While he was in basic, we wrote letters almost obsessively, talked on the phone very few times. However we were still "dating" but it still sucked to not talk that much.
I know it's hard to keep yourself busy. After Nathan went back to Korea when his leave was over, I could not get back into work for the life of me. I managed to make it through, even flew out for a week to Korea to see him. But it's the truth, keep yourself busy, don't blow the money he makes, (lord knows you might get a bonus or have extra money now, but once regular pay kicks in you won't have $hit) lol, and count the blessings that once basic is over you'll be reunited.
I was at the fair all day again and I MISSED ANOTHER F*CKING PHONE CALL!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M SO FREAKING PISSED!!! What I don't get is why the hell hasn't he been calling my cell phone?? DUH!!!! I have my cell phone with me whether I'm out and about or at home so why doesn't he freaking call that??? Will they ONLY let you call one number??? Or is he just being dumb?? I'm really mad and very sad that I missed it AGAIN!!!!!!! I started crying immediately after I realized it. And it's always from a different pay phone and I can't call it back, even though I have the number on my caller ID. I bet he's in bed now anyway.
That happened to me a few times when Terry was in bootcamp. Unfortuneatly you can't call them back. LOL Just make sure you write your letters to him and it'll be over before you know it.
Leave a machine message that tells him to use the cell phone, and that you missed his calls and was anxious. Message machines cost about $20. if you don't have one. Don't give him the opportunity to make either one of you anxious. Didn't he know you would be at the fair? Upside is[if he is not trying to make you feel bad for being out-w/o him] that he will be all the more anxious to get a hold of you, because you aren't there...
If I remember right in Basic they are only allowed x amount of minutes to use the phone. My hubby's bro in law while in Iraq was allowed like 10 min or so? I don't remember the exact number, but usually there is a huge line of people wanting to use the phone, so he may only have one chance to call until later on. Don't lose hope, just when ya'll finally get to talk, tell him to ignore the house phone and call the cell phone. That's what I did with Nathan, he never called my parents house, always my cell phone (partly because we never knew time of day and didn't want to wake my parents) Things will work out! Eventually he'll catch ya and its because of the times he didn't that will make when he does that much better.
