I really didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Really, I didn't. You didn't mention that you work, just the other things that you did, so I wrongly assumed that you didn't work. Although I do have to admit that I didn't think suggesting things that might keep someone busy would be so offensive.
Oh and by the way, thanks for posting your outrage about my response on MTAT without including your initial post. You know, the one where you stated that you think that not knowing what's going on and when he'll be home is harder than him being gone.
I informed you that that uncertainty is something that we all have to understand. There aren't any tricks to it, it's just something that you get used to.
I told you about some other sites where people are supportive, although I did caution you that unlike this site, they can be overly sympathetic. While they're full of good advice at times, often they're full of things like, "My daughter in law wants to divorce my son who is in jail! How dare she!", "I got a DUI because I drove while impaired on a prescription drug and totaled my car but I want you to feel sorry for me because I had to walk to the courthouse today.", "My husband only makes $14,000.00 a year, we have twelve kids and I'm pregnant again and the tranny on my 1972 Ford LTD with the peeling vinyl roof just died." and the like. Okay most of the posts aren't like that. Others include, "There's a wreck on a highway that I've only ever seen four trucks on in three years, everyone be careful!", "My dog had kittens!", "What should I make for dinner?", "What is your favorite color?", "My father in law is a maniac." and "We went to the mall today!". Actually most of them are like that. And the now infamous, "I'm going to repost someone's reply on a forum without including the original post in the thread that she's replying to!" threads. For those of you who are interested,

As to the assumption shared by the women on MTAT, that I don't have a good marriage. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. I have a good marriage. I adore my husband. We talk often while he's gone and spend time together when he's home. We don't have children, so this is easier for us than it is for people with kids. Hell, I think we have more alone time than my friends with kids whose husbands work 9-5 jobs do! We appreciate each other more now that he's not home as much, so I would say that his going into this industry has strengthened our marriage even more.
Of course you said on MTAT that you won't be coming back here, so chances are that you won't be reading this.
