The Quiet Strength You Don’t See in Military Marriages
He’s been deployed since October, and at this point it feels like our normal life.
There wasn’t a huge emotional unraveling when he left. Of course we miss him, but we adjusted quickly. We set a strict budget, figured out our schedules, and committed to talking every single day. Not long dramatic calls. Just consistent ones. We talk about the kids, what broke that day, what we ate, what is coming up that week. It feels steady and familiar.
I handle everything at home. The bills, the kids, the pets, the school schedules. I always have, so that part did not change much. The house still runs the way it always has. What changed is the physical absence. The small shared responsibilities that used to feel automatic.
The trash is mine now. The weeds too. Oil changes used to be his thing, and now I schedule them and sit in the waiting room alone. It is not overwhelming. It just reminds me he is not here. When something breaks, I video call him and hold the phone up so he can see what I am looking at. Sometimes he can walk me through it. Sometimes I end up calling someone anyway. Either way, we figure it out.
I send him practical things when he needs them. A new phone case. Sunscreen. Small items he realizes he forgot. It is not romantic, but it is caring. It is how we take care of each other right now.
We are both very faithful and very committed. That has never been shaky. We trust each other. We stay in contact. There is a calmness between us that I am grateful for. It does not feel dramatic. It feels disciplined and intentional.
The kids have handled it better than most people would expect. They are calm. Sometimes they say they miss him. Sometimes they draw him pictures or send him videos of what they are doing. Then they move on with their day. They are not overly emotional, but they are aware he is gone.
Our family routine is mostly the same, with small changes because they are growing up. My son is almost a teenager and now showers in the morning instead of at night. My daughter is learning how to take better care of her skin, and so is my son. Sunscreen, lotion, healthier food. Those things have always mattered in our house, but the conversations are a little more detailed now. They are learning how to take care of their bodies in new ways.
He is missing a year of them growing. That part is hard to think about. Kids change quickly at this age. But he is in a non combat location, and we are allowed to visit him on base in June. He will be home in July. Having those dates helps. It makes this feel temporary instead of open ended.
We are not falling apart. We are not overly emotional. We are simply doing what needs to be done while staying connected to each other.
It is not flashy strength. But it is real.

BREAKING: Dozens of millionaires and billionaires are reportedly pissed the Iran War is forcing them to move back to the US from their tax havens in the UAE, and now they’ll have to pay taxes again and start contributing back to the society that allowed them to get rich.

im writing an essay, and i really need your help. all you have to do is answer one easy question as best as you can: if you support the Trump administration, why? and if you don’t, why? what moral boundary has the other side crossed that has made you unable to see eye to eye? this is a genuine post; i am not seeking to cause division. just because i may not agree with you does not mean i will not listen and try to see where you are coming from.

Goddamn, Rage Against The Machine and N.W.A were ahead of their time. Nearly 40 years after Fuck Tha Police and over 30 years after Killing in the Name, they are still relevant; dare I say even more relevant with the shit the right is pulling on ordinary people like you and me. That’s why whenever I see or hear some outrageous lies from Trump’s cronies, I blast some Compton and LA tunes and silently flip off the government inside my head.

Heard today: “If conservatives have to choose between democracy and conservatism they will always pick conservatism.”
I wish I disagreed with this.

Im sorry but americans are a fucking joke. Yall really let the people in charge brainwash you into believing that you could only accomplish change by peaceful protest? But when you look at history, revolutions are what bring about change, revolt and fighting and sure also striking brings about change. So fucking organise and do something more than make fucking signs about it. Because your boycotts and peaceful protests arent going to arrest cannibal pedophiles or stop ww3. Get a fucking grip.
