Having a bad day :(

I must be really emotional today. Just a little back ground. My husband is in the military, we have been in for almost 4 years now. Being a military wife can be really hard sometimes. I find it really hard to make friends here. My husband gets to go to work every day and see all of his friends everyday and I feel like the wives are just plopped down into the world and have to make our own friends. Well all the friends I made have gone and moved now and I don't really have anybody. I don't want a lot of friends. I just want a BEST friend. Someone who I can talk to about my pregnancy, my work, my relationship with Matt. I keep all these things inside and it's all just sitting in my mind and I feel so alone. Husbands are only good for so much, and as much as my husband is excited he doesn't want to talk to me about my pregnancy every night. So today he called me up and said he was going with some guys from work to dinner and the new military movie that came out. I got so mad and sad and emotional over it. I wanted to go to dinner and a movie with him. We spent all weekend at home not doing much and he decides to go out to dinner and a movie with out me. I've cried over it. I feel jealous of him, I feel like he doesn't understand how hard it is for me. I have tried to make some friends around here, but they will never be my best friend. I tried to look up expecting mom groups in my area and nothing, only moms who already have kids.

Anyways I am going to go to a coffee night for military spouses next weeks. We will see how it goes.

At the end of march we are moving out of this state being pcs'd to a new duty station for a few years. So I have def had my share of cries from being overwhelmed with having to be so far from family and then having no friends. I am not one either to want to have a ton of friends but it is important to me to have one or two really good close friends. Would be even better if I could find someone who is also pregnant... blahhh... wish we lived closer to eachother!
	Comment from lilbare1009 » Posted Feb. 28, 2012 10:14pm I can't imagine how you must feel because I on the other hand was the military member. I know for me it was really hard trying to be friends with the spouses because they always seemed so shut off and maybe even snooty looking. However, I did manage to find a military spouse that I became friends with through a program the family readiness center (I was Air Force) sets up for expecting parents. It was a parenting class that was around 6 weeks long. It was awesome because we were due the same day. Sorry this got so long, but I hope you get to meet new people and try and see if ur base offers a class like that to meet other women that are expecting. Unfortunately, your fate of friends coming and going is going to be around as long as he's in. I suggest trying to find friends that are also not in the military lifestyle to try and get some stability. Well, I hope you feel better and know that you have some friends on here :)
