You're gone again.  Just for a few days this time, but it's given me a taste of what it's going to be like the next time you deploy.  I don't like it when you're gone.  I wander the house listlessly, looking for something to grab and keep my attention so I can take my mind off you for a few seconds.  It never works, I can never find anything that occupies me for long enough.  My attention always wanders and before I know it I'm deep into daydreams and thoughts of you...

...how we an be separated by thousands of miles yet still feel close?  Still feel a bond? I'm just blown away by what I feel for him sometimes.  It's just too much for me to comprehend. It's so much more than I ever expected.  I knew that I loved him from pretty early on, and I knew that I'd always love him...but I never expected that love to keep growing, to keep deepening and changing and maturing. It has so many facets to it as well.  It's a romantic love, it's a ...

I have a friend (yes, I do have some friends that are not internet ones) who's having a difficult time of things right now.  He's married, and he's considering leaving - for a multitude of reasons, but the one that's manifesting itself most prevalently at the moment is the lack of physical activity.  Sex, in other words. He's worried that there's something wrong with him because his wife refuses to have sex with him.  She relents about once every 6 weeks or so, and even the...

I have a questions for all you dudes. I have noticed recently that a lot of you are uncomfortable talking about sex. Why? Us girls share things about our sex lives...but I can't say that I've heard a guy talk, and I mean really talk about it.  I've heard them brag, but not discuss. Why is that?  Does it have something to do with women being 'talkers' and men being 'fixers'?  You know, that old adage about women being from Venus and men from Mars, man the silent hunter ...

Your heaviness upon my hips Legs and arms entwined Stinging sweat upon my lips Your fingertips divine.   No words aloud, just sound and breath Your mouth upon my skin My face pressed hard into your chest Taking you all in.      

I'm in love. He's been all I can think about in the past couple of days. The way he smells...I can still smell him faintly on the shirt he left behind. I put it on a pillow and I sleep with it...it's almost like he's still here. The things he does..I see so much of him in our sons. Nuances of their Dad, little quirks they've inherited - the way the eldest holds his pencil; the way the youngest eats his cereal...miniature versions of him running around our house. The way he so...

I believe.. ..that we are all destined to have one great love in our lifetime. ..that once we have experienced that love we are forever changed. ..and that if we lose that love for some reason we will never love the same way again. I believe.. ..that we have soul mates. ..that when our physical bodies die our souls are set free and go on... ..and that the souls of those who found in each other their one great love will be reunited, somehow, somewhere, someway. I bel...

I love you. Always have, always will. No matter what I say in anger or frustration, becoming your wife was the best damn thing i ever did, and I wouldn't change anything, not one single second, of the last decade with you. Good or not-so-good, it's all been a learning experience - and we've learned a lot together, you and I. I would even go so far as to say that we grew up together. I am so much more with you than I am without you. May this journey continue...and may we always travel ...
