My husband is in the military and will be leaving soon. As we get prepared to have him exit our lives for some time I get asked some of the stupidest questions. I know some of them are well meaning but I just get asked them so often I get tired of putting on a smile. Here is a link to a great list of what not to ask a military wife. I have a couple of things I want to add to the list, 1. Can't you go with him- I wish we could but we can't and I don't feel like explaining to all the reasons why we can't. 2. Aren't you gonna miss him? - I usually ignore this question cause I find it the most ridiculous of all, and I'm afraid I will come up with a very sarcastic response. and my last one 3. How are you gonna survive? - huh? I don't even understand that question. My response should be ... well everyday I contemplate suicide and then I decide against it.
It would be better if you just said thank you for your service and then be on your way.
