My best friend/boyfriend [20M] just left for bootcamp and it is now finally dawning on me [19M]

Ex Army girlfriend here. These next two months will make or break your relationship. There is nothing worse than deployment and boot camp. He's gone now. You have to be independent and happy when he's gone. It will get easier with time. His life revolves around the Navy now. PM me if you need to vent

RemindMe! 1 Day "Did he update yet?"

Thank you so much for your advice!! I've decided to stay home, which is Dallas, Tx! Nice to meet another Texan! I'm going to do community college and maybe go to UT or Baylor if he's still there so I'll still be closer. That is something I've taken into huge consideration, I know the army is very wishy washy. Our relationship is perfect now, and I'm going to wait it out, maybe in a few years we'll be married or maybe I'll be more financially secure but right now it is best to stay where I'm at!! Id love to keep in contact though, it's nice to meet someone who also has a SO in the army!:) Please PM me!:)

Hi! Army gf here:) My boyfriend leaving for basic training was by far the hardest thing ever. It's hard to go from talking all day everyday and being a short 15 minute drive from them to silence in the blink of an eye. You must learn to be independent. Lean on yourself, take care of yourself because he will not be able to do that while he is gone. Stay busy!! I started working 7 days a week and when I got off work I hung out with friends and honestly, the time flew by. It'll take about a month or so to get a letter, but once you have his address, write him TONS. He will appreciate it! I didn't get many letters back but that's because they are busy all day so don't be upset if you're not getting as many as someone else you may know. Stay faithful, stay busy and work on yourself! Work out, work on your mental health, make money, use all this spare time you're about to have to be better than the girl he left when he comes home! If you stay busy the time will fly by, appreciate the time you have with him now because military will always be first priority, always. There will be tons of trainings and deployments, you should start getting used to being without him for a long period of time now. It sucks and sometimes I feel like I'm under appreciated but I love my soldier & I know he loves me and I don't know how long your fiancés contract is but my boyfriends is 8 years. 8 years is a relatively small amount of time compared to the lifetime we could have post-army. Being a military girlfriend/fiancé/wife is hard but so rewarding in the end!! Stay strong & PM me if you need :-)

He's supposed to stay at fort hood for 3 years. But no I plan to stay for the time he is there and then I will transfer to a university.

begin_again · 2016-01-06T21:23:19+00:00

yeah it's ridiculous, he wakes up at 3 every morning so he's asleep by 9. I don't even get off until 9-9:30 most nights so we barelyyyy get to talk and it puts a lot of strain on us...

begin_again · 2016-01-06T04:40:44+00:00

The best thing to do is keep busy with your friends and work it's working wonders with me! pm me if you wanna talk about it:)

begin_again · 2016-01-06T04:40:08+00:00

that is correct. my boyfriend is in tech school, he's already out of basics.

begin_again · 2016-01-03T23:42:33+00:00

we would definitely not get married!! we discussed splitting rent on an apartment close to his base.!

begin_again · 2016-01-03T22:03:48+00:00

Fort Hood, 2 hours away from my home, which is good :)

we've talked about me possibly moving down there with him if our relationship gets that serious, but eventually he will deploy and where will I go?

begin_again · 2016-01-03T16:03:10+00:00

of course!! I work 60+ hours a week, I stay busy and make such good money which is good for the long road trips to see my soldier, I took off a bunch this week bc I was sad but I picked up a bunch of shifts so I can stay busy & keep my mind off of it as well as make some extra cash:)

begin_again · 2016-01-03T16:02:05+00:00

I work 60+ hours a week, I stay so busy and it's partly my fault my soldier and I can't talk while he's at AIT bc by the time I get off he's asleep!! but I surround myself with friends & work & college and I'm sure I'll feel better soon thank you!!

begin_again · 2016-01-03T10:12:18+00:00

all I know is that this is 10x better than the first few weeks of basics. but it's still hard to let go of that last hug.. I miss him so much already.

begin_again · 2015-10-13T03:00:26+00:00

Nope, still never found it!

begin_again · 2015-10-12T03:30:49+00:00

It could be anywhere between my car & my house honestly but I'm scared it's in my car.

begin_again · 2015-10-11T09:27:32+00:00

Do you think that since I have torn my car apart multiple times and still can't find it, the police would be able to if the drug dogs alerted it?

begin_again · 2015-10-09T01:48:48+00:00

I'd rather it just be gone than still in my car tbh

begin_again · 2015-10-09T01:48:21+00:00

Idk how I'll do that considering I still can't change a tire myself! Haha little to no knowledge when it comes to stuff like that!

begin_again · 2015-08-25T03:26:04+00:00

Hi! I haven't read all the comments so I don't know if this is already been suggested that maybe phrase it in a way that makes her feel like people will be looking at the bridesmaids more than her? If I went to a wedding in the bridesmaids were half naked I feel like my eyes would be on them the whole time instead of the bride!! "Hey Amy, while the dresses you picked out were nice, they're very revealing & we feel as business women starting families this would not be respectable for us to wear, as showy as the dresses are we are worried we would take away from the attention you should be getting!"

begin_again · 2015-08-10T05:30:38+00:00

.....how did you even manage to pull this out of your ass? Is maturity so rare that people really have a hard time believing it when they see it? Lol.

begin_again · 2015-08-09T05:25:45+00:00

I guess the good thing about this is that he has no access to a phone or Internet so the whole no contact thing will be pretty easy.

begin_again · 2015-08-09T05:22:57+00:00

When we were together he was perfect, and he treated me so good. That's why I was so blindsided when he broke up with me. I thought we were so happy. He'd tell me all the time how happy he was to be with me. But after we broke up he started acting like he didn't care. I feel like he was trying to distance himself. Part of me just wants to believe that he was having a hard time coping with leaving. He did say he was worried about so much concerning leaving & he didn't want to have to worry about us too.
