ive been in a relationship with a solder stationed 7000 miles away for the past 3 months.. he came home on leave for 11 days about a month ago... we've broken up twice, not because we dont love each other, but because this is so so hard. hes got lots of things he doesnt like to talk about, he drinks it away.. i told him that i couldnt handle him not talking to me.. we're back together now thank god... hes trying to talk to me.. little by little... we're doing good now.. my family doesnt like him... they think he doesnt really love me because of how hes acted toward me.... they dont understand the issues he has.. i understand it though, and i will be with him through anything... hes leaving for the field in 2 days.. he'll be there for a month, then to kuwait for a month, then to iraq for 14 months... its possibly that he'll get a week of leave in september before he goes to kuwait, the army is still undecided about it because of the awol risk... im praying for one last week together before hes gone for so long... this is the hardest relationship ive ever been in, but i love him more than anything..

loving a military man is tough... but im not giving up..

if anybody wants to talk, that would be awesome : )

yes loving a military man is tough. just dont give up. See i was dating my current boyfriend his senior year and he graduated in may and shipped out for boot camp in august. we tryed our best to hold our relationship together but it has soon failed. we broke up in july and didn't talk at all till he was home on leave for 2 weeks in december. and then we had decided to try the relationship again. and it has worked we are now closer than ever. he shipped out for japan on the 15th and not sure how long he'll be there for yet. i haven't seen him since may. but it will get better. if you need someone to talk to i'll be more then delighted to talk.

Lets start by saying I met my boyfriend my junior year of high school. We went most of the year dating other ppl until prom time came around and we hooked up. He graduated that yr in May and left for bootcamp in July. I was devastated since I still had a yr of school left and I knew this is they guy I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. I truly loved him with all my heart and would die for him if life choose for me too. So July came and he left. I seriously thought we were done. My senior year came and went and we were still together. The day of my graduation he asked me to marry him, given he was stationed in VA Beach and I still lived in Missouri we went a year engaged and yet still seperated. We were married in 98 and were still married today with two beautiful children.
Yes its rough, Yes the miles and the seperation will kill you, Yes you love him but if you really love him like you say you love him and have faith that your love will make it then you will.
I knew what I was getting myself into in dating him and marrying him. I did this to my self its not his fault he choose to fight this war. But it sure makes it easier knowing hes got someone beside him standing proud of what he does and loving him and supporting him. I was proud of my husband when he was a just a boyfriend working at the local grocery store but nothing is more prideful then saying I have a loved one serving and fighting for my country and seeing him walk out the door each morning in uniform.
High school was rough for me cause my boyfriend wasnt there for all the dances, and I didnt go on dates like the other girls but I knew he was there for me and doing something much greater for me then taking me out.
If you really love him you can make it and you will look back on this and giggle cause it was so easy.
