My husband just came back from an 8 mo. deployment. I know he hasn't cheated on me but what concerns me is that he hasn't been interested in me. I don't know what to do or how to talk to him about it. I brought it up but he doesn't understand what I'm trying to get at. Any advice??? Please?

Maybe he's worried that you think differently about him because he went to war. Try to get him to talk about the deployment. Let him know that war is not fun and you still support and love him regardless of what he may have experienced out there. My wife said that I treated her like a piece of meat when I returned from my 12-month deployment. It just takes time to reconnect.

I dont know if it is different for other troops but for me I feel a little out of place when I first get home. It takes a little bit to get back into the swing of things because the American lifestyle is totaly different than living a lifestyle of war where there are a lot of threats out there. What has helped me is talking to my wife about these feelings to give her a chance to help me through it.

Thank you all for the great advice. It seems now that time has passed, it's gotten a little better. Still rocky but nothing we can't work through. :) Thanks so much!

I have had some friends come back and the same thing has happened.  I asked the men why and some of them have said what they had seen will change you forever.  I would just hang in there.  If you have a good man, hold on tight, be patient and try not to push the issue to much.  go on a date and talk about the remember whens.
