If someone had told me when David was deployed that I would have a hard time adjusting to him coming home I would of laughed at them! While he was deployed I could not imagine having a hard time adjusting but now that he is here I totally understand what people were talking about.
Since he has been back I have loved spending time with him although I have to admit that it was a struggle at first. I had to get used to being touched again and as odd as that seems it was a difficult at first. I had gone so long by myself that having someone in the house with me and at random times touching me (like my back, or holding my hand) was sooo odd.
Getting back into cleaning for two people is STILL a struggle for me. I had become accustomed to making a mess and cleaning after myself, now I have to clean up after another person. I find myself becoming angry sometimes because of the lack of help, but he was that way before he deployed so I do not know why I am having such a hard time with it now.
Having to account for my time is something else I am not used to. I had gotten used to being able to go wherever, whenever I wanted. Now I have someone who wants to know where I am and when I will be home. It is an adjustment.
I LOVE that David is home, I love spending time with him, but getting back into the swing of things has been a challenge.
