[QUOTE="in a daze, post: 697802, member: 15832"] My thoughts? He's not ready to come home yet. He won't be, for a while. Maybe even for another year, or more. The dogs? I'm sure he misses them. Maybe you can do face time, or something. People in the military don't get to come home and see their families and their pets. My dad left Ireland and couldn't come back for twenty years, and that was for his father's funeral. I'm just trying to think up examples as his mentioning the dogs was maybe kind of a trigger for you. I'm sure he genuinely misses them. Part of it may be manipulation, and part of it is that is immaturity. Think about it. After all the hoops he's put you through, this is just one more, and I think it would be a mistake to cater to him like this. You would either have to drive down to Florida with the dogs, and find a dog friendly motel, or pay extra to have them crated and flown in with you. And of course, you, RN, are just not emotionally ready for him to come home, and I sure don't blame you. And maybe his mentioning the dogs is part of a subtle manipulation for him to come back.
