Can we have a bitter post?

Because seeing posts about getting to spend the holidays with your FI/H is making me bitter.  It's now the second year in a row without H for any of these holidays, so I'm just being a little miserable and bitter.

However I am home now and with my family, and my brother is on his flight home now.  I hope everyone is having a great week (even if I am bitter)!

    Haha will do G.  I am going out to dinner with my mom and our good famiy friends tonight so I'm sure I will be eating and drinking plenty!

    I really am having an okay time with it, just some rough times.  But there's nothing I can do about it so there's not use letting it ruin my time.  Doesn't keep me from getting a twinge of bitterness and jealousness when other people talk about it.

    Yeah, I had a rough few times when H was gone as well. Most of the time its ok, sometimes it just hits ya harder than usual.

    If it makes you feel better, I just watched the last of episode of Season 2 of Grey's and cried my eyes out. Now on to Season 3! 

    I have been watching the old episodes of Grey's for weeks now. I am pathetic haha.

    You are allowed to be bitter, I think it is perfectly acceptable.  But, Enjoy your family and friends! I'm a little jealous that you are already enjoying the holiday, I still have a day and a half of work =)

    Ggirl - I don't think you are pathetic for watching grey's, I jumped on the bandwagon late and all of last semester I watched  it in my study breaks, I am now at season 6.  I have to admit, season 2 wasn't my favorite season.

    I'm with everyone else - it's ok to feel bitter sometimes! God knows I've had my fair share of those feelings over the past few years seeing everyone spend the holidays with their significant others. I'm very grateful to be spending at least New Years with FI, but I know the feeling sucks when everyone around you has their other half right there with them, and you're stuck wishing you could be together.

    Didn't mean to make you bitter with my last post Beach! I do hope you enjoy the time with your families though. If ya want to you can come to MN and have a girls night. Lots of wine included.

    LOVE YOU Beach! From one spouseless MW to another :D. I was bitter at the Squad's Holiday Party because H is on 1 of 2 crews out of the entire squad that are gone this Holiday. Knowing that only 6 people from his squad are gone and he is one of them makes me a sad panda. But then I remember this is our first of 9 holidays that we are apart so I can put on my big girl panties. LOL Did you bring the pup with you? Because I am using Missy as my date/sub for H. hehe

    To all you spouseless MW's for the holidays - OK, I might have my guy home permanently, but I still feel compassion for all of you.  Praying it is an OK Christmas for you (even without them home).  And hoping they come home soon!

    Beach, I'm sorry you are sad and bitter, that was me last year. I was bitter. I'm happy he got a leave now, so I won't brag. I don't want to make you anymore bitter.

    You go on and be bitter.  It's allowed.  Then do something to make yourself happy.  I'm really sorry your H can't be with you this year!!!  Though I'm very glad you can be with your family - I'm sure that will help, so much better than being alone. 

    It's hard to be away from people you care about during the holidays.  That's what I'm struggling with a bit this year - it's the first Christmas away from my parents and brother.  It's not a big deal in the scheme of things, but Christmas Eve is usually a big to-do at my parents' house, with a big appetizer feast with at least 30 family & friends, so I'll miss that this year a lot.  It doesn't feel quite like Christmas without it.  FI is doing his best to make up for it - we're having a few of my favorite appetizers and watching Christmas movies all evening.

    Beachy, H has had a rough week, and we're not able to talk often like some of the other spouses, it's dwindled to once a week. I'm not bitter per se, but I'm definitely more emotional than I like to be. I just keep realizing it's okay to feel however I feel. 

    Now pray for me while I fly on Christmas Eve tomorrow. To New England. Where I then have to catch a train to somewhere else in New England. I don't do well with the cold, lol. 
    I hate Dave Ramsey
