and i dont party not my thing and i find it unfair to go out and party without him i dont kno why always been like that i wont drink unless his with me.

well basically im asking how do you get threw without being an emotional wreak exspeacilly at nite when theres noone there to hold you.

i have no question i just want advice

Answer 1

I could lie to you but I won't. Suck it up and drive on. This is the first in a long line of separations.

Being a soldier or Marine's wife means being independent.

You'll have to get used to cute couples.

I can't say I wasn't upset when my hubby left for basic, but now I see that it was great training and it was much easier to have that first separation occur when I was still around family and friends,

Don'tparty while your boyfriend is in boot camp if you're serious about him. You'll just get drunk and mess around and then you won't be able to expect any less from him.

And who says she can call him? You can't call someone is boot/ basic! He'll call and write when he can.

Answer 2

If possible, talk to him or tell him to call you at least once a week or whatever jsut to catch up on each otehr and know ya'll are fine. If you really love each other, you will trust one another and be faithful. Naturally, you'll long for your other half once you see other couple but jsut think of you two guys being together or how it will be next time you see each other. Worrying won't help but having a positive outlook on what's to come will ease when he's in another place.

Answer 3

My cousin is in the marines  :(

I miss him alot.

Listening to alot of music and reading works for me.  Also cuddling up on the couch with something chocolately and watching a funny movie always does the trick!

Good luck.

Stay strong!

Answer 4

If you want your relationship to survive, you need to find a life outside of him. It sounds as though you are way too dependent on him for your happiness.

You will spend a good portion of your relationship apart. You have to be more independent. You have to have your own life and your own friends. Keep yourself busy with work, school, get involved in your community, focus on a hobby, start a project. Work towards obtaining your own goals and dreams.

It's fine to miss him. Of course you do! But you have to be able to survive and thrive without him. When you do get to see him, it is simply a bonus to be able to share your accomplishments together.
