As a Vet, I would have to say "Very Normal". When those who love each other are separated (not just the military reasons), we will miss them because they mean so much to us. If it is someone it the service it is very natural to be concerned about their safety and well being. Do not feel guilty for not being able to talk to him. If anything you have reassured him that you love him and that will take him along way while he is deployed.
Also if he is guard or reserve, don't forget to check with the unit family support groups. If he as active duty, then check with the Family Affairs sections on the base or ask you husbands unit HQ about things you can be involved with while he is gone.
Also tell him for me that I am proud of my brother in arms. |

Ofcourse it's a normal reaction. Don't feel bad that you weren't able to speak, it's not your fault and he probably understood the emotions you were feeling. Don't sweat it, you'll get more chances to talk to him :) |

Why would you think it isn't normal?
Hell, I'd probably do that too.
It's completely normal.
He probably giggled and thought it was adorable. |

Aw. Sweetie of coarse. It's perfectly fine. I'm sure he understands that you were crying. I doubt he's thinking "OH my gosh my wife cried dummy." no..I'm sure he felt heart felt that you still miss him so much and everything. I hope you guys get together soon. |

Everyone deals with the separation differently. You evidently cry. One of the few times I've cried for joy is when I saw my parents the day I got back from Baghdad. |

i was deployed to Afghanistan and i can tell you that your tears were appreciated, what i would suggest is try your hardest to believe that you and him are in the same room. You have to not think about him being gone, or you'll never be able to get pass it. Just honestly be prepared for the ups and downs of a long distance relationship. Most importantly, because you cry doesn't mean he should always have to comfort you sometimes you should be able to be strong on your own, if you cry all the time he could think that you were weak and that, just speaking from my point of view, makes you unattractive. this is from my point of view i hope it helps just keep the emotions in the middle not too emotional, and not like whatever. |

I must say that I do the same thing when I don't see someone I love for a really long time. I lived abroad and whenever I came home, I would just cry and cry and hug people and cry some more. And until you see them again, you really don't know just HOW much you missed them.
Take care. Hope I helped.

Believe me. He was very happy with that. You did just fine. He just needed to see you. Most men don't need a lot of talk. Those tears said more to him than any words could. |

Very normal. The next time you talk to him, it may be a bit easier but it also may not. The more you talk to him the easier it will become to talk to him. |

Mine just deployed and I didn't react that strong. But I don't think it would be unusual for someone else. I'm enlisted to so maybe thats why i get whats going on maybe more than a civilian.
I also have a newborn, so I am SO TIRED I am preoccupied with the baby. |

i think if you had reacted any differently then that wouldn't have been normal. take care ;) |

Yes it was a normal reaction, people react in diffrent ways when worried or upset or releived, you told him you love him and that is all that counts,
hope this helps! keep strong and best wishes for your husband . |

im sure your emotions spoke louder than words for him. you may worry about it, but you reacted very normally and he probably was thrilled. |

Aww sweetheart, yeah that is completely normal.
The same thing happened to me while me fiance was in boot camp.
He was only allowed to call once a month for five minutes and often times I couldn't help myself but to just cry and it made it hard to carry on a conversation. :( Then when he had to go I felt so horrible and I would think of so many things I wish I would have said. Ugh.
Are you allowed to write letters where he is?
If so, you could try that. :) The guys love to get a letter from their gal. And, writing your thoughts down into a letter is a lot more personal. :)
Good luck and take care! |

I definitely think so. You're in a very emotional situation. Don't blame yourself, that your tears overcame you. I am sure, you couldn't have controlled yourself...it's very understandable.. I am sure, he'll understand. He may get worried about u a little. But, you can change that and reassure him about you...and support him by your faith, joy and hope...through such difficult time.
God bless u :) |

omg =) of course it is. I know exactly how you feel, trust me. Females are the most emotional living things that God has created. We can't control our emotions. We're known for how sensitive we are. Your husband misses you way more than you can imagine, whether he expressed how he felt or not. He knows how you felt the moment he turned on his camera, and to him, the word "I love you" means so much, that it explains everything in your heart and mind. What matters to him is that nothing about how you feel will towards him changes. he will be OK =) |

Wow. That was a flood of emotion. Since you obviously do care a lot about and miss him very much, this sounds like a very positive reaction. I think it showed him how much you love him. You didn't have to say anything.
Hang in there. He will be home before you know it. Keep busy until then. Get together with other wives and share your concerns and emotions. |

This is so normal. It's ok that you couldn't even say anything because you were just overwhelmed and what not. I mean I would be histerical and in tears if I saw my husband on webcam if he was deployed. Don't feel guilty that you couldn't talk to him...I'm sure just cause he saw your face he was happy. And he knows you care about him and you love him. My 'boyfriend' is at basic for the Air Force and he told me that he was going to call me on one of his patio breaks and I'm definitely going to cry when I hear his voice because I haven't heard his voice in a month. And if I saw his face on webcam, I would definitely react the same way you did. Even if I saw my brother on webcam if he was deployed I'd cry. |

I am on my second deployment, and I can tell you, there are no feelings you're going through that are "normal". It is very important that no matter what feelings you have, you express them. E-mails, snail mail, a counselor or friend are all good ways of you talking out what your going through with both your husband, and people that can be your "support circle". You should not feel guilty, but rather be glad you got some time with the webcam. There are others who are not as fortunate. If you need help finding someone to talk to you can try www.militaryonesource.com or your Family Readiness Group. |

Yes but now you need to regroup and get your **** together so that he can see that your strong and OK. He knows he loves you but don't make him worry about you, he has enough going on, OK ! Also, remember, GODS Will is just that, irregardless of were he is at, it will happen. OK ! |

Yes because you love him and miss him that much.
Rest assured that your love for him was transmitted to him. Hope that you are both together soon.
It is normal - you just do not know what to say (you do, but you do not know how to say it). He got the message of your love and care. |
