Ok its me again.. yes the one that said i didnt miss my boyfriend. WELL... now im a wreck!! I DONT KNO WHAT TO DO!! it was fina as long as he was in basic. he couldnt talk to me or anything so i was slowly feeding off the many memories we had. i was doing a good job until the contact began. i know it sounds wierd but know that i was excited to hear his voice and all was well. BUT. he started changing slightly (which i expected), he is always sooo busy now and im not use to the lack of attention yet. i try not to stress him out by bringing unneccessary problems to the table. so i dont say anything about them but he knows me and we end up arguing every other time we talk. he's asked me to marry him and to come live with him. i declined because of my age... but i have never even for one second stopped loving him and he is the same way. i can tell- we know each other too well (5 years will do that to you). anyway i dont have any friends in the same predictament as me SMH and this is getting sooo hard!! i guess im just wondering am i the only one who feels like this? i get up everyday thinking about him, everynight thinking about him smh... ive been like this- not this type of girl. i dont fall in love its just something i dont do.. but this- this is scaring even me.

    You’re not the only one feeling like this. It’s really difficult to come to terms with the small amount of time that they now give to us. In the past we may have had hours of time to share. I’m trying to cope with it too, so don’t think you’re alone. We’re all experiencing this together. My boyfriend says that he may not get to come home for Christmas or new years. I was so looking forward to it and I was planning it out. Now I’m trying to expect the worst, rather than build myself up for nothing. I went from bitter to accepting. Learning how to cope is a major part of being a navy girlfriend. After going months with rushed conversations and limited face-time, you’re bound to get used to it. That’s the only option we have. You will be absolutely amazed at yourself while looking back. You accomplished a lot as it is. This type of relationship requires a lot of personal strength.



    Love is really not all that scary it’s actually a beautiful thing. When you see him again for the first time in months, you’ll know what I mean.
