I Am the Girlfriend, Fiance, Or Wife of a United States Marine
lately ive been thinking about how excited i am for when my boyfriend gets home and how great its going to be to actually get to be with him physically and not just speak via text, phone, or skype. But im also super nervous. i know i still have like a good 6 months until hes back, but im scared that when he is back from afghan hes guna be really different. I wouldnt blame him for being a different person, how can you not after living somewhere like afghan for 7 months. I think im scared that i wont know how to make it better for him, or that i wont know how to deal with it. Some days im super confident that i will be there for him and ill make him feel safe, but then theres some days where we fight and then i feel like i cant even handle it right now and hes not even home yet.
But maybe thats just because of the distance and like most of the time is miscommunication. Idk i just want to be like the best girlfriend and the most supportive when hes back so he doesnt have to stress or have a hard time like he might be now. Id love some insight from women that know the aftermath of a deployment. Like what kinds of things do you go through, i just wana be prepared and maybe some of it can help me now while hes still out there.
