Adjusting, Husband Coming Home

I have done several Op tours, If he is anything like me I detached myself from home life to do the job and when I walk back in as if I had gone to work that morning. You have seen changes that he has not. My wifey could not let go for days, as she was so used to doing everything. But soon got used to me being around.
Just remember that he has been in total control of his personal space and whilst Sargent Majors tell them what to do they don't invaded that. It took me little time to adjust to that personal space being crowded, but I soon go used to it, so just take it slowly don't expect him to live in your pocket. Have to me time for both of you. Worked for me still happily married.

Agree with everything already said. Last time my hubby came home I was really excited but worried about it at the same time (and felt guilty about not just being excited and happy).

I'm sure everything will be fine, just try to give each other time and space to get used to each other again. My hubby is off again in April so I've got it all to come again.

I always find the coming home hard, mess everywhere someone flicking the TV. You just have to be honest expect it and laugh about it.

Also don't think you have to spend all of you time together, let him meet up with friends, your go out and do your thing.

Hi I was married to my husband for 37 years. He went to Northern Ireland twice, Gulf war in the conflict & Falklands War. No on can prepare you for him coming home and what it will be like. It is just as hard for them as it for you. All I can say is they are not quite the same with what they have been through and what they have seen. You have to just take it slowly and try to remember that when you need something doing that they are there even if if does take longer to get it done. It is something that you both have to adjust to and it will take time. Good luck.
