Of course he misses you. He's hurting just as badly as you. Why do you think he's trekked through a jungle to spend vast amounts of time and money talking to you for 30 seconds.
The thing is that he's got lots of stuff going on to distract him so you aren't the only thing on his mind. You however are sat by the phone desperately hoping that tonight is the night when he'll call.
Trust me, I've been there and done it, I'm an army wife. I do google news searches for Basra every few hours.
The way to get through this is to distract yourself. Is there a hobby, a sport or a project that you've always wanted to do? Think of one and do it.
My hubbie has gone for 6 months so I am starting up a jewellery making business. I spend my evenings drilling holes in things and sticking wire through them. I also want to get my book finished off this summer so he can read the first draft when he gets back. My aunty married a long distance lorry driver. She's an area manager for a big car hire company during the day, but got a job washing glasses at a local pub in the evenings as she got sick of staying in alone.
Fill your time and make yourself so busy that the hours in the day just fly past.
Good Luck!! xx
