I Miss Him...he's In the Navy

Hey guys my navy boyfriend is based in Seattle an I live in Oregon ... We have known each other for 6 yrs an been dating for 3yrs .... He is by far the sweetest guys ever.... He is extremely busy an it's like I Waite every second of everyday waiting for a email when he was deployed... But now being his girlfriend is even more different .... I guess you don't realize how on a drop of a dime they have random things they just have to go an do being on the navy.... Before we started dating I went to Seattle to his base an seen his ship an actually was blown away by how big the ships really are.... I was glad he shared that with me.... I wish I lived with him in Seattle but with the economy he reinlisted for last month :( another 4 years to go an he wants to go to officer school in San Diego I'd love to move there in the next cpl yrs... But for now this whole waiting being patient an learning to trust someone from a total different aspect is really hard for me,.... I have a ex boyfriend of 6 yrs an a three yr old child... Taking on this new relationship is the best thing I could have ever done ... My new boyfriend loves my daughter absolutely adores her.,.. An we adore him just as much just wish the navy gave the "boys" a Lil time to see an visit loved ones as much as they have them bust there ***** for the "navy"!!! I know it's there job an they took on the challenges an responsibities that the never is full of ... Time stands still there ao busy it goes by do much faster.... I just miss him so much an idk nessarily if he does miss me that much.... I never get to talk to him but once in a blue moon it feels an in emails you can't feel the emotion or anything as if you were face to face or on the phone.... Three months into this I hope it gets easier I really do

Thankyou so much for that... it really encouraged me and believe me i can use all of the help i can get and the funny thing is, he hasnt even left yet, i dont want to spend this precious time we have together worrying because my baby is going to be in the Naval Academy in 3 months. But this is really helping me become so strong for when this does happen and by the strengtg and grace of God ill trust(': thankyou so much for that encouragement(':

I've been with my boyfriend for two years and he's been deployed or underway for almost half of our relationship. He was 26 and I was 24 when we met. I am a mere three months away from getting him back, and let me tell you...



I love him for so many damn good reasons its hard to count. He's one of a kind. Waiting for him has to be the hardest thing I've ever done, and once upon a time I quit smoking so that really says something.



It might not be as hard for him... From what I've heard, "time stands still" on a ship. That said...



He will love you even more than you thought possible because you waited for him.

He will spend hours looking forward to standing in line to hear your voice on the phone.

He will seek out treasures for you in foreign countries and bring back stories he's busting to tell you about.

He will talk about you A LOT.

He will think about you even more.

When he comes back, you will have the best sex of your life. Probably for the rest of your life.



Waiting is ******* hard. You have loneliness and temptation to deal with, coupled with doubt, concern, and just the sheer torture of missing him more than you thought possible. It's an emotional roller coaster I doubt most sailors truly understand.



I am one of the lucky ones. I only had to do this **** for 2 years, but it was hard enough that I admire beyond belief the women that do this their entire lives. The sacrifices both you and your husbands and families make can never be compensated or even understood by anyone that hasn't gone through this.



Thank you. To the sailors that give their lives and the women that bolster them up.

My boyfriend went to bootcamp in April and I went to his graduation in Chicago in June, it was the happiest weekend of my life, seeing him for the first time in 2 months. bootcamp is definately the hardest part, now he is 4 hours away and he comes home most weekends when he can, i just wish his 4 years would be over already...

hello, well my fiance is in boot camp right now. he is in chiago IL. They are not doing anything that will hurt him. I have been with my man for 2 years. Yes it is very hard, and when you get letters and phone calls it makes you feel even more lonley. All i can really say is make sure you write him a lot. At east everyday, try to make it like he is here. Yes you are going to have times when you break down, but you just have to think your in this together. My man has been gone since eptember 8th, and he will be graduating october 30th. I cant wait, and i have only recieved 2 phone calls from him so far. Just hang in there, you can do it.

hello pinay08. my name is kelsey and yes i went through this same feeling a couple of months ago. just write him as much as you can. trust me that is what my boyfriend told me that got him through. stay positive for him. I said the same things that you are now and i know that everyone tells you that things will get better as time goes and it really will. my boyfriend just recently got deployed...and its very hard again but he will always come back to you if its meant to be...if you need someone to talk to i can give you my e-mail and we discuss this more often whenever you need me let me know!!!

sounds like my boyfriend went into boot camp about the same time as yours. where is your boyfriend at now?

yes i know what you mean. it is so hard to be away from eachother when the only thing you want to do is be together. but if it is true love the distance will only make the two of you stronger as a couple. just remember good things come to those who wait!

hey

ive been good friends with my boyfriend for almost three years

we met online after he hadjust join the Navy

we talked for about 1 1/2 before we talked on the phone

now we are going out and have almost been together for a year

its hard for me because i live in california and he is based in washington state

he also is deployed next week

and im going crazy

ive been living with him for about two months

just to be with him before he leaves

life with a Navy guy has its ups and downs

but like he tells me

"if you think missing me is hard you should try missing you"

plus

"true love isn't being inseperable, it's being seperated and nothing changing"

Hello my name is Kelsey and my boyfriend is in the navy bootcamp right now. We have been together for 2 years and friends for 7! I am completely in love with him! I can honestly say that this was the hardest thing that i have ever sxperienced. The first week i will admit i was a mess. I didnt want to do anything. I didnt even want to go out of my house and everyone tried to tell me that "it will be ok" and "it will go fast" but what do they know? they arent in my shoes!!! Well this is week 5 out of 8 for me and it really does get easier! i get a letter a week and you should write him as much as possible bc it really will help him!! and he gets one phone call as soon as he gets there to tell you that he made it safe and then i got another phone call 3 weeks later i got to talk for 20 min! but he said that phone calls are priveleges so not everyone can get them. but anyway i can asnwer any questions anyone has about it and more importantly i want to communicate with other navy girlfriends/wives because no one else really knows how we feel!!!

It took me about almost a month to recieve a letter from him. My boyfriend left on sept. 15th. It's been driving me crazy. But I try to think of of this as a test. So i have faith and and try to write back to him as much ,and as soon as possible. Luckily they will let him have phone-time to call you.

My boyfriend left for boot camp last week and I haven't gotten a letter or phone call yet. I miss him sooooooooo much. We've been together almost a year and we've been best friends for 7 years. I just feel lost without him. How long did it take for you to get your first letter/phone call?
