We Are Army Girlfriends

does keeping yourself busy help with him being away

Anonymous

It does! Not too busy, he thinks you forgot about him. But enough, so that you’re not wallowing away in your bedroom. I mean hang out with your friends like normal. Pick up a new hobby. Make him care packages, make him gifts, make crafts in general. A lot of that stuff helps.

My boyfriend is leaving for basic training in august. We are both 18 and we have been dating for 4 years now. I love him more than anything but I am so scared of what will happen while hes gone. What if I can't handle it anymore?

4 years! It’s lovely to see young couples last so long :) well if you’ve been dating that long, I don’t think distance would ruin that. Just check out the pros and cons. Being an army SO isn’t for everybody but I’m sure you can do it!! Just talk to him about it some more. The more involved you are, and the more you know, the easier it is.

My boyfriend signed up for 4 years of service and my parents were really supportive. But once he left they started making comments like you probably won't say together since your only 16 and can't move where he is (he is only 19) and other things putting me down. We have been dating 2 years and I really do love him. What should I say to my parents without being disrespectful?

That’s kinda around the same where I started dating my boyfriend. I was 17, he was 20. (My parents didn’t let me start dating until he actually left. They’re weird. Lol) nobody knows how the course of your relationship will go. Most couples do last. You’ve been dating for two years, I don’t think some distance can conquer history together. Other couples however don’t last. But that could be for many other reasons. They were probably disfunctional to begin with. Or they start realizing things that they hadn’t noticed before. All these factors can happen if you guys were still dating in the same place. So, if I were you, I’d talk to your parents, let them know I’m serious about this and wish that they kept their comments to themselves. Because if anything their comments can possibly be filling your head with doubts. As for moving with him, I’d say its alittle too early for that. I’m 19 and never really considered moving with him until I turned 18. So there’s plenty of time for that in the future.

I basically don't have anything to ask. I just wanted to know that someone has truly listened and understood what I am saying. I just started dating this guy, I knew he was in the army, but like 3 months into dating, he tells me he is going away. I don't really understand where or why because we haven't been dating long. But its actually quite hard, I miss him so much, he also called me for the first time the other day, I missed it. So I basically cried all night while listening to the message:(

That happened to me a few times when my bf was in basic. I missed a couple phone calls and felt terrible and just comforted myself with the sound of his voicemail. It’s tough being an army gf. Sometimes he can’t tell you everything he’s doing. If you wish to come off anon and talk some more I’ll be here :)

Hello all!!

Well I’m a first time army girlfriend :) My best friend and I finally decided to try a relationship, unfortunately within two days of deciding this he’s leaving for his 9 month tour of duty in Afghanistan. I’m so nervous and sad, it’s very hard knowing that the person I love the most and who I finally just started this, is leaving for the first 9 months. Any tips to help us stay strong? How about keeping me grounded and not so lonely? I love him so much and want to be with him for as long as he’ll let me. I just would like the advice of any of you.

I'm an Army girlfriend too, and we survived BCT last semester! (He was at Benning like yours!) It would seem that you and I are in the same boat--other people just don't get it. I am so thankful for the other ladies on here who can relate!

I just wanted to ask because I'm a army girlfriend and I don't know about all you other army girlfriends but I can't go to my bestfriend about how I feel when I get lonely or just talk when my boyfriend is away because she doesn't know what I go through so I was just asking if I could just get some army girlfriends to talk to ?? I don't know many army girlfriends where I live.. ?

armygirl919

Well there’s plenty of ladies here that I’m sure would love to follow back and help cope with you!! :)

Its hard talking to my friends too. They don’t understand. But I’ve found a couple of new friends who do over this site!
