Looking For Friends I Could Talk To

Hey all!!
My name is Amanda and I know a lot of girls on this site have gotten some support and advice from me!! I love being able to help you ladies when you are having a hard time with the military life. My friend and I have created a support site for all on facebook. We are both Navy Fiancés and have been going through the military relationship for a while. So if you are looking for a new site that offers support come on over and check us out! We have a chat room on our page that we would like to get up and running. It has been helpful to the both of us in times that we have used it. http://www.facebook.com/LovingFromADistanceMilitaryStyle I hope to see you all there. We are awesome girls and we have been helping a lot of girls get through deployments, boot camp, and just everyday military life!

dang....ughhhh

His letters..writing him everyday...writing on his fb wall everyday sorta makes you feel like your actually talking to him..staying busy with work

My boyfriend leaves this Wednesday and I get so sad every time I see him. I just want these next few months to go by fast. Is there things that helped you get through it?

Thank you :) I know I am going to be a mess when I see him..I'll be crying like a baby. So, do you guys live together? I was wondering because I've recently found out that my b/f won't be allowed to live off post unless he is ranked above E-4 and our plan was to get a place off of post. Which obviously that won't be happening cause we aren't married.

Dont let it break you apart! I will never let the Army win in that sense haha. The best advice that I can give you as far as that comes is ALWAYS communicate. There will be times where you want to scream your head off and when you are mad at him for the only reason that he is in the service. There will be times where he will get mad at you for getting to live a civilian life. I learned the hard way that freaking out is not the way to go. I have been so much happier and more secure with the realationship now that we talk things through and just be there for each other. You will be the most important person in the world to him...dont ever forget that. AND when you see him in a week or so make sure to look at his face and remember the expression on his face...it will bring a smile to your face every time you think about it

Well, it will be two months from Sunday that I've seen my b/f. So, far I think its made him appreciate me more. He said if it wasn't for me he wouldn't have made it as far these past 8 weeks. Its made us stronger say the least. I get to see him a week from next Wednesday, yay :) But, idk where this going to lead us and hopefully it doesn't break us apart..we both said we think we're the one for each other...but, we will see.

I definitely will thanks! Yeah, he says he is getting out after 15 BUT at that point he might as well go for 20 haha. I honestly don't think he will ever get out and I am ok with that...when I first started seeing him my friend told me that I had to understand that I would be second to the Army...and its true but I am ok with that :)

Thanks if you need somebody to talk to you can always message me also..

Oh really wow! I'm not going to lie I hope my b/f is only doing the 8 years..4 active then 4 inactive.

Yes he has been in for 12 years now...I had never dated anyone in the military before. If you need someone to chat with Im here for ya!

Hey I understand theres very few girls that understand what we go through dating someone in the military but message me if you ever need to talk. (:

Was he in the military before you started dating?

I can so relate to what you are saying...I think my boyfriend goes nuts sometimes when we are able to chat on the phone bc I can be going on and on about how great my day was and then burst into tears for no reason bc I miss him. I am pretty new to all this stuff too...I have been with my boyfriend for about a year and he has been deployed for 7 of those months...so not that I can give too much advice but I can definitely pass along what I have learned from others to you :)

Thanks :) when are you guys getting married?

When my fiancé was first at training I did the same thing. Id cry one minute then smile the next, but now we're happily planning our wedding. Just stay confident and it'll all work out
