What to do now? 😩

Question

Today my bf shipped out to USMC boot camp. I’m so overwhelmed I miss him already and I know I haven’t even began to feel the pain. Any one have any advice on how to survive these first 3 months? 
Also, did I mention it’s my two week wait? Talk about double whammy. 😩😩😩

Answer

Just take things day by day. Find thing to keep you occupied keep busy. That’s what I do when my SO is gone for a long time.. and the tww is horrible just try not to think about that so much.

Answer

My wife just left today for an underway with the navy. In the middle of my tww... 😩💔

Answer

I focused on staying as busy as possible. Everyday was another day down! I wrote letters everyday, starting from the day after he left. Despite him not being able to write a lot, he loved reading letters. I wrote everyday, but he would get sad if they held his mail for a few days. Then, he would get 3 letters at once and be super happy. There are Facebook groups, pages, and discussions for these things too. Is he at Parris Island or San Diego?

Answer

wow this threw me back. what I highly recommend is finding yourself a friend, new or old. and spending all your free time with them. I made a new friend when I was in the same place as you and I can easily say that's what kept me sane. we hung out every day and all we would do is go for a drive, get a coffee, talk for hours. the days that I felt completely horrible because I wasn't getting letters when I knew other girls who were, when I was worried about where things were going for our future, I had someone to talk to. also, about the other girls, if you have the opportunity to be apart of a facebook group of all the girlfriends/wives/partners I highly recommend it. having a bunch of people who are going what you go through, asking the same things you are thinking, it really helps. My group had two admins that went through what you are and then some a few years later. My husband went to bc summer 2015, we weren't married at the time, and now it's 2017, married living on base on Hawaii with him. good luck hun, you don't need it but it sure feels better to get it. message me if you need anything, any questions!
