So i've just got to vent. I lived alone till Jan 2007. I moved in with my then BF (now fiancee). Apparently, the testosterone around me affected me physically, even to the point of stopping aunt flo from visiting. Well, he went to Florida a month ago and he'll be there a year. I guess I must have adjusted to his hormones balancing me out, because now I'm an emotional wreck!!!!  I just spent the day listening to music I knew would make me cry, just to get it out of my system.
I even noticed everything related to estrogen being on overdrive.
Is this normal? Anyone ever heard of this before? It's driving me crazy. I hope I won't have to spend the next year like this.

Kristin,
We all need a good cry every now and then. I used to need one once a month and now I can go longer. It might just be him being gone and you got used to having him around and that security of it.
Get it all out and then move on and find something you really enjoy to keep the mind busy.
Glad I am not the only one who needs a good cry!  |

| I am not sure that his testosterone can affect you, but I do know that when my husband started traveling a lot, I had a really hard time in the beginning. I would always be very tearful when he was gone or leaving. I have adjusted to it now because he travels a lot. Hang in there. Do you all get to see each other at all? |

| hmmmm...I don't know what to say. I'm surrounded by testosterone in my house (hubby and two sons...plus two male dogs) and I've never had those kind of problems...if anything, aunt flo seems to be a little heavier (she REALLY needs to lose some weight!! LOL!!) |

| lol Brandy, I'm not sure if it's possible for her to lose weight! I hope it's not about him being gone, as he's training to be a pilot and will be gone a lot. He left a month ago, and will be gone a total of a year, but I get to see him every couple of months. |

One of my best friends a few years ago, had a hubby that was a pilot and she LOVED it. She said that when he was home (like every 7-10days or so) it was great...they were together all the time, but when he was gone, she got to be "single" again....minus the cute guys!! LOL!! The only time it really seemed to bother her, was when they had kids...then she felt like the kids got short changed a little bit!  |

That's good to know. I don't know of any pilot wives to get that perspective. The only thing I know is that when I was around 10 years old, my dad had a job where he tit business trips all the time. It was hard on my mom, but 2 teenagers would do that to anyone. From a kid standpoint, it was so exciting to go pick him up from the airport or train station. Mom always dropped him off when we were at school, so I never knew the potential sadness of him leaving.
Anyone know other pilot wives I could talk to? |

I am not a pilot's wife, but I will tell you that I have some personal experience in this area. My husband travels the world for business. He has done this for years and has been gone on projects for 3-6 months at a time abroad and then some shorter trips in the states....he still travels to this day. I am a pretty independent type, which helps immensely....but I will tell you.....even when you decide to marry or be with someone forever, you still need to keep "you".....what I mean by that is....have your own interests, have your own friends, do some things that you don't normally do when your fiancee is around.....could be anything.....a hobby, a sport, things you like to do that he doesn't like going to the ballet or a play.....whatever..... Just don't lose who you are..... This will help you alot in the months and years ahead as you have time on your own.....not only will you keep busy, but you won't resent him for not being there and believe it or not you will come to actually cherish those times you have to yourself and get to do what you want to do. Before you know it, he'll be home. You'll be glad, but satisfied that you spent your time doing things that you really enjoyed. I hope this helps.
