I Am the Girlfriend, Fiance, Or Wife of a United States Marine
I don't know if anyone else has experienced this, but I am getting so frustrated with my fiance as of recent. We've been friends for about 2 and a half years now, and we have been together for about a year and a half. I absolutely love him to death, I would do anything for him any day of the week, he is my best friend and I couldn't live with myself if he wasn't in my life.
As I said, we are engaged, I was pretty stunned when he asked me... he's not very good with secrets and let a few big ticket hints slip days prior.. but never the less I was overwhelmed when he got to it. I will be graduating from a two year college this spring and I'm even looking to transfer to a school down south so we can be closer than we are now. I wouldn't say things are perfect, but they are going.
However, this is the point of my post.
My boyfriend has changed subtley since becoming a Marine. He has literally treated me with the same regard up until this week. He was the perfect gent the months prior to leaving. When he was at boot a bad week was when I got less than 3 letters, but I my mailbox was always full of multiple letters atleast 4 days out of the week (one week I even recieved 8!) When he went to MCT he tried calling me every chance he got even though I couldn't recieve them in time, and he wrote me the nicest letter for my birthday. Then he came home a few times (thanksgiving/ Christmas), and just this Valentine's day graduated MOS school.
He did not care what anyone said/thought about in regards to the way he treated me (I would get letters that had "to my beautiful princess" scribbled on the back of the envelope) but literally now that he has moved to his PDS I feel like I'm one of the guys. The way he talks to me is different, the things he says are different, and it's as if I'm the butt of every single one of his jokes. I'm all for laughing and having fun, but he doesn't know how to stop and it really hurts. He has never been like this before but I think he's trying to save face infront of the guys. When ever I bring it up he tells me to grow a thicker skin or to be alittle stronger, and as the fiance of a Marine, that's a slap in the face to me considering everything I have done without complaint to be supportive of his endeavors, which do negatively affect me.
whether we were skyping at MOS or talking at night, it didnt matter at any other time in our relationship, now all of a sudden he takes things way too far and no matter what I say he won't listen.
***end rant***
Maybe I'm reading alittle too heavily into things, but I have so much going on with my full time job, and the 18 credits I'm taking at school, as well as applying for transfer. I know he's busy, but I wish that didn't hinder him from treating me as he always has. All I'm asking for is alittle sincerity over here. I could be wrong, but has anyone else experienced something like this??
