I Am a Military Girlfriend
I met my marine almost four years ago, just about 3 weeks after he enlisted. At the time we fell in love fast, it even made him question if he wanted to be sworn in. Of course, I would have given anything to change it but I've supported him 100% through it all. This has been the most difficult 3.5 years of my life. He's stationed at Camp Pendelton in CA. So its been a long distance relationship. Last year he found out he would be deployed to Afghanistan. It changed everything for us. We began talking more often. He just came home in Sept. and he wanted to work through our past. I wanted to move on from it, but I'm glad we did talk about things. Since, then we've been so close and so honest. As soon as he got back to base, he called and asked me to fly to see him so we could spend his last weekend in the staes together. It was magical. We said our good-byes the night before he left. He told me he didnt want me to wait on him because he didnt know if he'd be coming home. It broke my heart. Of course, I'd wait an eternity for him. He is the man I love, the only man. we've kept in touch for the last 2 months. We had been emailing and sending pics at least once a week. I never pressured him for anything more. I want him to focus on getting home safe, not worrying about what I need from him. But the last 3 weeks things have changed. I haven't heard from him via email. I send a weekly email, no response. He did try to call last Mon. of course, I missed it. I was heart-broken. I cried all night. He said he'd try to call the next day. That was just over a week ago. I'm worried for him, but also concerned that maybe he can't do the "relationship" anymore. It's the hardest thing just not knowing.
Anybody know anything about how often they can keep in contact or what could prevent him from emailing? I have a few friends from the military and through their experience they said he could be really busy but at some point he should have been able to write.
You have to understand, no matter what I will always love and support him. I always have, even through some really bad times. I just need to start preparing my heart and mind for the worst I guess. I would love to talk to any girls going through similar situations. No one here at home seems to understand.
