» RoboRowe - Long Distance Love...Will it work?
My boyfriend is going away to Bosnia for approximately 1 year. We are both in the military, so I understand why he must/wants to go. He's been in a long distance relationship before and he said it just didn't work. He said the jealousy on both parts just got to be too much. He wants us to break up before he goes so that we will have time to adjust to being a part. I think this is a horrible idea, I want to spend every last minute with him. This is a tough one because he can't really phone from overseas and he'll be really busy so I don't know if he'll be able to write that much. What can I do? Any suggestions? I'll write him and be there for him but how do I get that message across to him. I think he might just be scared that while he's gone I will meet someone else or something.-- posted by RoboRowe
» maki20 - love and war
my boyfriend is in the Marines and by simply saying that i think my story is pretty much predictable. he's been away for 6 months and we managed to stay together. through the distance, i learned to love him even more. but little did i kno, he felt the opposite. he said its not the same anymore... it hurts but i learned my lesson. never give ur all to someone who'se leaving. the sad thing is, i don't want to let him go... so to all the girls out there with their love in the service, i applaud you for keeping their love. imagine how many break ups will take place when the war arrives. how many heartbreaks, and tears? hatred and regerets... i could only imagine...-- posted by maki20

In response to message posted by maki20:My boyfriend is in the RAF he flew out to the gulf on valentines day, all i would say is that girlfriends have got to have faith and hope that it will work out. We have made a promise to stay together and i think we will.

In response to message posted by RoboRowe:My husband has been in the Army for 3 years. Of those we have been married for 2. Before that we were together for 7. He has been in Kuwait for 3 months. I like to think that we have a strong relationship. But I am finding most difficult to remain active in our relationship. It is compared to the grieving process and I believe that is exactly what it is. I had expectations for this deployment and I think that is the problem. You just don't know what is going to happen during his deployment. Maybe you would meet someone else. Not on purpose but it could happen. I wish you the best of luck and hope all works out best for you.
