When Steve asks me how I am doing, do I tell him the truth? Does he want/need to know that I am so sad? that I miss him more than words can say? Or does he need to believe that I am okay? Because even with all of these feelings, I will be okay, I will make it through this year...there is no choice in that.
I think that is a tough one... I think a fair answer is I miss you a lot but I get up each day knowing we are one day closer to you being home. I do not think it is right or fair to lie to him, but you have to temper it a little because he misses you too. I used to always worry if my (EX) hubby was worried about me he couldn't concentrate as well on his job....not a good option either. BUT they do need to know we love them and miss them. You are right, you do not have a choice but to survive! Lean on all of us and never be afraid to ask or tell us what you need!
ReplyDeleteI agree. He deserves a "watered down" truth. I am sure it would upset him more to think that you did not miss him as much as he missed you. I love you tons!
