I’ll be honest, that first week wasn’t exactly what I was expecting. I know I don’t do change well. That is not news to me. But instead of being so excited that my husband was here I was struggling to like him. It’s amazing my husband wanted anything to do with me that first week. I burst into tears one day in the kitchen over cabinet doors. I was getting frustrated that all of his seabags were thrown into the spare room and boxes were piling up since we were not only moving him to me, but we were about to do a local move into a new apartment. We were living in chaos and I couldn’t take it.
Now that we are settled into the new place things are starting to get better and we have started to find out new normal. We went from being a dual military couple, living very independently, to a one income couple that is together a lot. My husband is one of those men breaking the mold of what a military spouse is by being the stay at home husband. Now that he’s interviewing for jobs I’m realizing just how lucky I am to have had his support these past few weeks. I’m so thankful to have a husband that is not afraid of domestic duties. I come home from work and shy of having to cook dinner, everything is done! Having a husband that isn’t afraid to pitch in around the house, now that’s sexy!
