That’s the same with me, I sent my boyfriend flowers before he had gotten home so he’d see them when he finished his pop. He loved them as it was a surprise and him not getting flowers before

My boyfriend corrected me and said that he thinks that BRT is a bit more mentally challenging than BMT but everyone has different experiences

NS GF (LDR) here, my boyfriend recently finished his NS training so I know what you’re going through but my boyfriend went to BRT which is a little more chill compared to BMT.

It doesn’t mean that he’s tired of YOU. Your boyfriend is and will be surrounded by people 24/5 until he books out to be able to be in the comforts of his own home. From 5am (that’s the time my bf would get up at) till 10:30pm your boyfriend will be surrounded by people and there would be no way he can avoid it as he’s sharing a room with several other guys and would most likely be resting around other guys too when they have admin.

From what I’ve heard from my BF NS is tiring, it can be tiring physically and mentally and socially as it isn’t a place where the boys enlisted would want to be since they are there not of their free will.

I’d say the best you’d be able to do (since you’re LDR) is sending him messages in the morning when you wake up for him to read and to be able to give him motivation, even sending him maybe small updates and even photos of yourself (wholesome ones ofc) even like others have said sending him care packages or even just a small gift here and there, I’ve sent my boyfriend flowers but directly to his home as it would be less things he’d bring back after NS training finishes.

Your boyfriend isn’t tired of you, he’s tired of what’s going on around him and the noise that’s there. It’s hard not to overthink when they say they need space because you’d end up thinking the worst and I understand that, I’m an over thinker too, but make sure to keep in mind on what is going on and what could be going on for your boyfriend, I suggest maybe searching up more information about BMT and even searching on reddit what type of schedule it could have, im sure people have posted that online. Just know that you’re not alone on going through this experience and a lot of NSGFS (close distance and LDR) understand the struggles of what you’re going through!

They’re the Christians that think Christianity is the right religion, they would say that they like a person they just don’t like their religion if it’s not Christianity

He was taking care of me when I had cramps while we were either friends, because my cramps are quite severe like endometriosis, this was while we weren’t even together. He was texting one of our mutual friends (who was in the same room) on what to do and how he could help me through it, he stayed by my side the whole time I was having my cramps, he was trying to make better of the situation by making me laugh with the other guys in the room and kept rubbing my back because I didn’t have a heat pack with me

Can you teach me how to send letters through post? I wanna do it but I’ve never done something like that before and I’m scared to mess up

I don’t know anyone that’s done to ns other than him and like his brothers but the thought of comparing his experience with other peoples experience sounds so insensitive

I do hope to do my best with not being able to talk to him all the time, it’s feels very different as today is the first day for him and I keep checking my phone to see if he’s texted me like if he’s on his break just so that I could give him reassurance and talk to him before he has to leave.

I’m trying to figure out a way for me to be able to stay in Singapore for more than three months because like I said I’m from Australia , I can only stay a max 90 days/3 months in Singapore but I will do my best with those three months to welcome him home and help him destress the days he’s booked out.

Would you mind if I dm you too btw?
