Well this sucks....

My boyfriend left for the Navy yesterday and I thought I could handle it. Up until the last week or so, I was handling it fine. It didn't really hit me until I wasleaving MEPS yesterday and I almost bursted into tears. I don't know if I can handle not being able to see him for 3 months. Does this ever get any easier?

my bf left for three months bootcamp for the marines. It doesnt get easier. Just think each day is closer to seeing him again. And if you can write him, do it alot!

It will become your lifestyle, you'll get use to it. You'll always miss him when he's gone, but it won't be so terrible.

The longest my husband and I were ever apart was 11 months, I have friends who have been apart from their husbands even longer than that. Write him a lot of positive letters, surround yourself with good friends, and you'll be OK.

it does get easier I promise you that. just think, it's 3 months... alot better then him being on deployment for 7 to 12 months. just get yourself into a routine and write to him everyday. spend alot of time with friends and family and just mainly keep yourself busy... it really does help.

I guess I'll add that he's Marines & on his third deployment. It really isn't as bad as it seems after a while....

i 'm active duty air force....I wish I could tell you it gets easier. As the deployments come in you learn to over come it. When we where expecting our first my boyfirend wasdeployed. He came back early, and then when she was six months old was sent back. He left when our daughter was 3 months and came back when she was almost 9 months. Its not easy road but you have to be proud that he serving. The time will go by faster if you stay busy

Oh letters are the best think to get while in basic training......they seem to raise your spirits.

hy husbands in the navy, and i promise boot camp is the hardest part, or was for me so far, i havent been threw a deployment yet...

do you know where your boyfriends A school will be?

yes, you'll get better in coping with him gone just like anything else in life. stop stressing over it and sooner than u know it he'll be home.

Its hard just make sure you and his family get a long. Make sure you send pic. but dont send any food it will get him and every one in to trouble. Its ok to cry i think i cried every time i got a letter i wasnt expecting at that time so i know this will be extra hard on you. Just know when he gets home every thing will be grate and your little one will keep you busy threw his training after basic. You will be just fine just dont count down the days it makes it last even longer

lol, I'm terrible about counting down the days! All three deployments I've made a countdown sheet (with an estimated "home" date) and counted down. It is a bad habit, but I just can't help myself!

i havent been threw a deployment but i iuntef downt the days of boot camp, till he got to come home to meet our son and till i flew down there to get married and im still counting down till his schoolings up and we get stationed, i think it makes it easyer if your counting down

It's different for everyone. Some people can't watch the news while their husbands are deployed, I live by the news. I have to watch it, if I didn't watch it I would go insane. I don't jump to conclusions that he was hurt if I see something on TV...but I have to be keep up with what is going on.

we both was in boot camp around the same time and it was harder for me to count down the days bc he went two weeks befor me and i knew that i wouldnt get to see him till i finished and then that was if he didnt have to ship right a way to ait. I think we got 2 days be for he left and a weeks later i was discharged for medical reasons. It was hard for us.

I think it'll be in Texas.

Quoting Ashley & Tim:“ I think it'll be in Texas.”

well thats not too far from Fl, im not sure were in Fl you are but my husband is in Pensacola, and im in ohio. when there in school they can go out on weekends and if its close enough for you to drive you could see him every weekend and even after class on weekdays
