Seeing other couples hurts

[Mel.s]

I just got back from taking my son to his soccer opening ceremony. Everywhere I looked there were couples with their kids. Its so hard to try to live a normal life when you have reminders everywhere that your other half is missing. Holding his hand while walking through the store or just a simple kiss goodnight. It truely hurts you all the way to your soul. I miss him so much .

[DsLatinCutie]

yes it sucks I see that all the time and miss him too. But this is what I choose to do so I will have to just wait until he comes home and then we will do that. Hang in there and know you are NOT alone!!!

This is why I love this website we all share the same pain so its good to talk about it. Its amazing how much better I feel somethimes after venting and getting some feedback. Thx everybody

ooh yea..I know I'm probably just being a bitter b*tch and all, but I hate seeing happy couples. Yea, they're cute, I'm happy they're in love and I don't wish ill..I just want em to be happy SOME WHERE ELSE! It hurts to see what we used to look like.

I saw a couple kissing on the sidewalk one day. I was like seriously omg in public.. Then I realized I am probably just bitter.. I have been alot lately. I was supposed to work On valentines day at my serving job & I just couldn't push myself to do it, I got so sick of see couples, hugging, kissing, spending time together. I hateee seeing it. BUT one day we will all be there!!

Try to think of the couples as a happy reminder. They're not their to mock you but to show you what you have to look forward to. My life may not be perfect but I wouldn't want to walk in anyone else's shoes.

I know exactly how you ladies feel especially seeing all these couples in pictures on facebook ugh I can't wait to be able to take a family picture with my man home. Shoot I even get jealous with the girls who are counting down lol cause it might be a long time till I can start counting down. But I keep faith and say to myself one day I will be able to enjoy those things, remember u will value it much more than those couples who never spent time apart. Us ladies know what real love is and what it is to wait for someone. Plus we connect with our loved ones more on a emotional level some never get that.

FB bothers me alot I am on 24/7 but I have people on mine some say "oh I miss my husband so much he's at work" or I had one girl who said "I hate working oppisite schedules of my husband" I just wanted to be like REALLY because at least your in the SAME 4 WALLS AS HIM, actually you know what your in the SAME STATE TOO! It just aggervates me..But it's so true most couples will NEVER have the appreciation we get to have for one another with our men. It will be VERY special & have a bond that NO ONE will ever be able to break. Not MANY can say they went through something like this & made it through! Def. takes a special person to be able to deal with all this I know that much!

If this was fb it would push the like button for all you answers

[Miss_A]

You can "like" all the responses. It's called the "Thanks" button.

I was about to say I use the "THANKS" button the same as I use the "LIKE" button on FB haha.

I am the same way i see couples hugging, walking together, holding hands, kissing and i want to do that so bad with my baby. I really wish i could count down the days to his release date, but we dont know it yet i told my baby that i see all these people huggin, kissing and it makes me sad because i wanna hug and kiss him he askd me if i was depressed lol, i said no i just love and miss you like crazy.. But what keeps me going is knowing one day i will have him to hug and kiss, hopefully that one day will hurry up and arrive!

[hismess]

yes, it does hurt. but i know my day is coming, and so is all of yours. its just another downfall for this type of relationship. to be with someone and yet still be alone. it sucks!

[mizzperez2010]

It does suck. I hate seein couples out all happy but this is the life I choose its the life we all choose. All we.can do is wait and one day that will be us

[StacylovesJohn]

I drove by a cafe with outdoor seating and saw a few couples eating and having drinks together. I started crying, thinking about all the things we CAN'T do together while he's away. I felt so alone at that moment, and still do whenever I see couples together.

[Paulie'sGirl]

I actually love seeing happy couples!! You have to realize, they have worked hard for their happiness...and quite honestly, the older the couple the more the deserve to be applauded. If it's some young, newly in love couple...we've all been there, but it's the long lasting relationships that I admire!! They have what I want, and I can't be bitter over that. I know my Paulie will be home and we were that happy couple that everyone made snide remarks about. My parents, almost 50 years later, hold hands with each other in public. I'm usually the one that walks up to that old couple, and say...."Aww looks like you guys just met and fell in love" of course, I get to hear how they have been together for 40 or 50 or 60 years.

Just remember, when your loved one is home, always treasure those moments together.

[FutureMrsM]

When I see couples who are all lovey dovey, I want to go up to the girl and say to her, "I hope you realize just how lucky you are to have your man right here with you." I'm not bitter towards them, but I'll be damned if it doesn't hurt like hell. And I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm very jealous of those ladies. I'm not saying they don't deserve it, but I don't deserve NOT having my man either. My man is locked up because he was defending me.

Yes, facebook sucks too. Especially when people post pictures of roses and diamond rings that their hubbies bought them, or check in at restaurants, etc. Half of my friends and most of my family don't even know where he is so I can't even talk openly about how much I miss him. It was really hard to explain why I didn't post any pictures of when we got married (we just got married 2 months ago while he was in). I don't care because I don't have to explain anything to anyone, but going back to the OP, yes, it really, really hurts.

At least the couples are loving on each other! I can't stand seeing couples arguing or not even holding hands! I'm thinking if they only knew what I would do to be in the same ROOM as my man!!! I can't Stand when people take each other for granted!

[aj1111]

Do you get jealous when you're out shopping or out to eat w/ friends and see other couples? I hate it...it just makes me miss my babe even more

[dc's girl]

I do, but only ones that are lovey dovey.

[Brooklyn721]

I voted yes, but feel like a need to clarify. I am jealous only that they get to see and touch each other every day.. I am not jealous of anyone else's relationship as a whole, as my man n I have the best relationship of anyone that I know.. <3

[lovelove113]

Im with Brooklyn721 on this one. Im just jealous that they have their lovey with them.

Yeah I should have been more clear. I am jealous of the fact that they get to do couple stuff and be together etc. Im not jealous of the actual relationship b/c these are just strangers to me anyway. LOL

[Princess1029]

Yeah, to a certain extent.. Just they can see each other, sleep in the same house, go on dates, all that stuff..

I also agree with Brooklyn721 on this one. Im only jealous that they have each other physically and can hug, hold, kiss, etc. Who knows... that couple could have the worst relationship ever and fight and argue everyday. Im very happy with the relationship my hub and i have and sometimes think others are jealous of it lol .
