My boy left for boot camp today...and i was wondering why i didn't cry when we said our goodbyes?

Question

i am just curious....i cried more the night before than i did when i said goodbye to my baby this morning like an hour before he left...

Answer 1

you came to terms with the inevitable the night before  

Answer 2

looks like you have moved on  

Answer 3

i know how that is.

my man not too long ago went back to afghanistan (he came home for r&r) and the night before he left, i was going crazy, but the morning he left, and i was with him at the airport, i was fine pretty much.

its just you really prepare yourself the night before i guess? cause thats when u fully realize wow. so the next day is for goodbyes.

good luck with everything though, hope he makes it (im sure he will) =)

Answer 4

maybe you were unconsciously trying to be strong in front of him. the fact that you have written this question proves you are missing him alresdy and feeling guilty but dont worry about it your son would probably be embarrased if you cryed anyway you know what young boys are like

Answer 5

Maybe you're all cried out from the night before,

or maybe it will hit you later on - that happens.

Answer 6

Are you talking about your son, your boyfriend, husband... WHO? It depends on which one... If it's your son, I'd wonder too. If it's your BF - you don't love him. If it's your husb, him either!  

Answer 7

Well you might be so upset that you cant even cry you might not want to cuase you want to seem strong and my friend is leaving for boot camp in a few weeks and I am not sure if I will cry the day of ... I have cried befor though about it ... so I dont really know ... maybe you just cant cry because you know he is doing something so brave !
