do they have any problems finding time to talk to you during the day when they are gone? How often to you get to talk to them when they are deployed or tdy?
 
i am not a spouse but a deployed soldier with a wife at home the comms over here have gotten far better and i am able to speak with my wife every night but not every were alot of FOBs and COPs it will highly depend on were they send him and how much time he wants to spend waiting in line to get on a phone but any deployed relationship can tell you that with all the the comms in the world will still put a strain on a relationship but the strongest will survive if you haven't get into some strong bonds meeting and such if for nothing just to absorb the lessons get friends he knows and is comfortable with and try to stay near them DON'T BECOME PART of the rumor mill that will happen before he leaves some of the other wive in their misery will try to make you miserable by telling you what ever it takes don't believe them until you talk to your ol man no matter how long it takes the frg broke up two marriages while we were in iraq but this time the wives are alot smarter and hopefully do better this time through Afghanistan but only time will tell my wife has already heard all kinds of people i have been sleeping with most of which i have never even met the rest i avoid like the plague so good luck to you and your hubby and stay strong hopefully he will be in a place were we have built up otherwise it may be days at a time just stay strong an don't give up he will be home sooner than you think
 
Depends on where they are when they get deployed or tdy. When my husband was deployed, we talked 3 to 4 times a week because he was in a relatively safe area. But some may not be able to talk for weeks or months at a time.
 
When my husband was in Iraq we spoke three or four times a week on the phone and we wrote every day either by letter or email. Now he is in Afghanistan the situation is pretty similar. I have heard wives make lots of excuses for the fact that they haven't heard from their husband but the hard fact is that they can take a few moments out of sleeping time to write or call, wherever they are and whatever they are doing. Those who love their wives make it a priority.
