OK, i am beyond thrilled to have gotten my first phone call from my man. i held back tears the whole time and we were able to laugh and talk, but right now i feel lost. i feel like theres so much i should have said. or i regret saying. we didnt talk about much we really talked about me moving down there and how much he misses me and that he wants to get engaged and/or married as soon as he graduates tech school. WHICH IS WONDERFUL, but i was so out of it and excited that he called that i feel like i didnt respond the right way. i dont know. im sorry bout how awful and long this is but is this normal? is it supposed to feel close to what it felt like when he left? i miss him so much and i was just caught off guard by his call. what should i do to kinda recope with this? Thanks

The first phone call can be emotional. You have went weeks without talking so there are things you want to say, but forget or say things that you didn't really mean to say (not in a bad way, just things that could have waited), but did. Then you are so excited to be talking to him that once the call is over it is a little bit of a let down especially if you don't know when that next call is going to be. Unless he seemed like it hurt his feelings I wouldn't stress over it, but next time you talk just say something like hey I was so overwhelmed last time I don't want you to think that I am not excited, or what ever the case may be.

I went through the same thing and even held back the same tears. Although, he was very emotional which made me that way. It is normal to feel that way and it gets easier. A lot easier. That's what you get to look forward every week; hearing from he. That is what got me through the long nights of not being able to talk to him. I knew that he would call as soon as he got the chance. But I promise, it gets way easier and the phone calls won't be as emotional. Hang in there!

I did the same thing when my DH called me. Although, he was able to call me pretty much everyday since. (he's in OTS) the first week without him was rough. When he called I didn't cry but he was very sweet and he told me how much I meant to him and if you know how my husband is you would know, he doesn't talk about his feelings, but after we got off the phone I went over to my MIL's and just bawled. It's normal and things will calm down.

My first and only call I got was a trainwreck haha. I was so shocked that he got a chance to call me that I totally talked over him the whole time. :-/ Write down some things that you would like to tell him if he gets a chance to call again. Like the others have said it is totally normal to feel the way you do I bet he was just as nervous and excited as you were
