I think most of you can agree that it seems easier to be "the leaver" than "the left"
A comment issue me and the hubby have occurs during port calls when i wish he would just stay home and talk to me on the phone but instead he wants to hang out with his friends (yes the same guys he just spent 45 days underwater with). I know he missed me but he never seemed lonley. I on other hand would be acutely aware of my lonliness when on a Friday night I found myself watching Notting Hills for the millionth times.
This geobacherlor thing is different. Even though everyone on his boat has moved to the same city, so did their families. He is one of the only few that didn't PCS (due to his time left on the boat). I was worried that this would seem like a big port call. He would have all the friends and all the fun and I would be at home alone. Most of my favorite wife friends left and I had taken a trip to pity city.
After a couple days i realize, hubby is just as lonely as I am. Hes living out of a hotel and his friends are spread out all over Norfolk. His friends have their families down there and he doesn't want to impose. For the first time Ive realized Im not the only lonely.
To cheer up my geobachelor up, I have asked him to take pictures of all the new places he is explorer. one by one I plan to "photoshop" a picture of me in and send them back. Hopefully this will make him feel like I am there. It'll be just like those cardboard cut out pics :) cant wait!
as my mama always says "you can visit pity city, but you can't move in"
