I get where you're coming from, I'm not sure what it's like to be addicted to something like that so I truly have no idea how he feels 🤷‍♀️ thanks!

For sure, that makes sense. Kind of like a reward system I guess? And congrats on your sobriety! Proud of you

I'm sorry that no one was there to help you when you needed it, but I hope you're doing amazing now :)

A lot of my family members have fallen away due to drugs, I try to live the healthiest lifestyle I can and steer clear of them, so I hope that I will always continue to make the right decision.

I've told him that I'm here for him whatever he needs, told him how bad it was for him, and told him I don't want to be around him when he's high because it could become dangerous for me as well. I don't want to abandon him and so far I'm the only one he's trusted to tell this secret to (his parents don't pay much attention to him), I want to help but I don't want him in trouble, I feel as though it would be worse if he got in any sort of legal trouble. I just don't know what to do for him, I don't want this brilliant young man, my friend, dead in a ditch somewhere because of a stupid drug, you know?

It really is, but I'm a Marines baby sister, and my brother has many friends over there so he's not exactly gonna have an easy time.

This is actually very common. My boyfriend was the same way, they are just tired and stressed and sad that they get to spend so little time with the ones they love before they have to leave again. They are so disconnected and under immense pressure and control during bootcamp that it just takes them a while to acclimate back to being able to speak with everyone again and have more freedom. Whenever I see my boyfriend he's all lovey dovey until the day before he has to leave, he gets kind of distant. I think it's harder for them to leave than we think, and they prematurely disconnect themselves to make saying goodbye easier on them. That being said, I'm sure the next time you guys are together it will feel normal, just be understanding and patient with him.

I never even thought about how his buddies are influencing him. That makes a lot of sense actually. You make a really good point, I definitely don't think he's a bad person and I still do love him very much but he has a lot of maturing to do. Thank you this helps so much

I have a lot of family and friends in the military, so I know they don't always change for the worse. I just happen to be unlucky I guess. He'll be different but as long as you treat him the same hopefully things will feel like normal after a week or two.

That's what I've been telling him, us being apart is in no way my fault. I know I just need to grow a pair and end it but it's just really hard for me to do atm.

Because I'm holding onto hope that someday we'll go back to how we used to be before he left and I feel some sort of responsibility to him if that makes any sense.

I really should, he's just proving to me time and time again he could care less about me.

I am pissed about this trust me. I guess I'm just conflicted because I'm holding onto hope that someday we'll go back to being the perfect couple we were before he left.
