Any women out there who have got a bf in the royal marines?

Question

basicly iv been with my other half coming up a year.before we even got together he was making plans to go back in the royal marines. so i knew full well what i was getting myself into.

cause of appeals an wot not its taken him pretty much a whole year to get through to the stage where he knows hes deffo goin into training.

when we first got 2gether i thought i could keep my distance and not get fully involved and then when he was gonna go back in it wudnt bother me and i could just go to being mates.

so that didnt work n i fell head over heals for him.

hes finally had his interview today and got his medical at the end of the month and they reckon if all goes well with that and he passes the fitness tests ect (he will) then he will b back in training by jan next year.

i know thats a few months away but im dreading it! i live kinda between london and brighton and they train down near deavon for 8 months. im never gonna see him and i cant bear the thought of him goin off on his first tour of whatever country there gonna have to go to.

it really makes me feel sick to even think bout it.

anyone out there got there other half in the marrines? whats it like?

Answer 2

My other half was in the US Marines, not the Royal.  Any long distance relationship is difficult, and having a loved one in the service is doubly hard.

Whether the relationship last depends a lot on the strength of the relationship.  

What does he think?  He is committing to the Marines, but is also committing to you?

You need to sit and have a serious talk with him about his goals.  

This will not be easy to do, but carrying on without talking will be more difficult in the end.

Good luck, girl, and be strong.
