[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She said he did. He might have felt he had to say that.[/quote] Military wife here. Trust me, no no one feels they [i]have [/i]to say that. [/quote] Having lived through both deployments of my husband and a serious illness of my child, people say it all the time without really meaning it. You have to be the one who takes them up on it and ASK. What's more you need to ask for specific help - "Could you drop the dog at the groomers, for me?", "can you come over and help me move these pieces of furniture around?" It's like when people say they are praying for you. It seems like helping without too much sweat off their brow. [/quote]
