Does It Get Any Easier??

Thankyou SO much!!! And gosh.. yes, ihave never been more proud of anyone!! He makes me so happy.. I never expected this kind of relationship, but i know God has completely blessed me with it :) very much so!! That is wonderful advice, im soakin up every bit of it!!! Especially the part about the voice recording, thats so special.. im so greatful, you guys dont even know how much more uplifted i feel(:

The most important thing for you to focus on right now is making these last few day or weeks memorable. Don't start the emotional rollercoasters now, be as happy as you can around him. I made a mistake and was depressed weeks before my boyfriend even left! I learned to make the BEST out of the time I have with him. Have him record a voicemail on your phone for you to listen to while he is away! it helped me! when he does leave for bootcamp, write him as much as possible, not about how hard it is BUT be his motivator...bootcamp isnt easy. encourage him and let him know how much you love him and that you are PROUD!! i know this sounds harsh, but please dont take it that way.... try not to send ANY sad letters! when his division is called for mail and he opens a sad letter...it will make him less focused and it will cause him pain! He needs to know you are ok!! Keep as busy as possible when he leaves, keep your mind going.....your not allowed to lay around and be depressed everyday!!! Military relationship/ long distance is tough but do-able!!! here if you need me! good luck and praying for you guys!

I'll tell you what people have told me: It never gets easier, but it does get BETTER :)



It will all be worth it in the end, I promise. It's extremely difficult knowing that your other half is going to be leaving soon. I remember feeling that way months before my bf left for basic. It was the WORST feeling ever. I actually think I felt better after he'd finally left, the anticipation was literally killing me inside haha.

But 6 months later I am so glad I stuck through it all. It's going to be tough being apart and having to trust each other fully. But seeing him graduate boot camp is going to be the most wonderful moment of your life :) I had never felt so proud of anyone my entire life.

Definitely spend as much time together now as you can. Try not to constantly think about him leaving. And write LOTS of letters :D I wrote my bf a letter to take with him when he left for boot camp about how much I love him and how proud I am. He told me that letter got him through boot camp, and he read it a million times every night before he went to sleep. Show him that you care and support him, it's the most important thing you can do for him. Good luck to both of you!!

Goodness thankyou.. thankyou so much. Thats all i needed was some encouraging words and i intend on writing him like crazy :) i love letters and i know those will make our relationship so special. Thankyou for helping me have some peace :) haha

I knew exactly how you felt. When I found out my boyfriend was leaving I was devestated. We have been together for 5 years, unseparable! I didn't want him to leave but I knew I couldn't stop him. Spend all the time you can with him and don't take advantage of a single moment. Tell him you love him and that you'll support his decision in life. When he does leave write him like crazy. They won't be able to write or get mail for 3 weeks. He will feel like everyone forgot about him but once he gets all those letters from you he will smile and feel so special. It's going to be hard emotionally on both of you but it will build the strongest relationship EVER. My boyfriend tells me all the time in letters how he appreciates, loves, and misses me more than he has ever before. Just know that this is temporary, yes it will test your relationship but if you can handle this strain, you can handle anything thrown your way. He will love you so much more and so will you. Keep your chin up and know it'll be okay. If you need someone to talk to, I am here for you! :)
