Military Girlfriend

I’m 26 my boyfriend is 28. He is in the Air Force and we have been apart for the last 8 months. It is extremely difficult. You have to both be willing to commit to communicating and being honest with each other 100%. If you see yourself being with him; it’s worth it. Please do not rush into a marriage because of it though. Way too many girls rush into a marriage not realizing most guys ask because they get benefits from it. Make sure he is the one for you truly first!! Don’t ignore the red flags.

Hi! So I’m a bit older (26) and I’ve been with my boyfriend for a little over a year. We live together and his military career has gone on for 12 years now. The July will be the first time he’s gone (for annual training) for any time longer than 2 weeks. (He’ll be gone a month) It gets easier as time goes on. When we first started dating he was gone for two weeks and I had a hard time. The important thing to remember though is is that he needs you to stick by him. And if you truly can’t, then leave, but do not cheat. That screws with military men (and women) more than anything. And when he comes back, you need to be honest with how him being gone affected you and if you think you can handle him being gone on deployments and things like that. It takes a lot of soul searching and trust and faith in your partner to be able to deal with being gone from your SO for months at a time. My boyfriend told me when we first started dating, that If I couldn’t handle it, we couldn’t date. His ex cheated on him during his last deployment and it screwed him up. Don’t fret. And just remember that even though you miss him, you also need to keep living your life at the same time. It’s strange to think about but once he’s been in long enough, he will tell you the same thing. If you wanna talk, feel free to message me!

Hey, my names daniella. It’s funny cause I’m kinda in the same shoes at you! Lol. My boyfriend graduated last year and I’m a senior in high school. He’s currently in bootcamp for the marines. He comes back in 3 weeks 😊 but anyways, it honestly gets easier. The worst was the first week that he was gone but it flys by. If you need anything I’m here for you

I’m in the same shoes , I’m dating my friend from high school and our entire relationship has been long distance, for about a year. However time flies. There will be times when you think you cant handle it and you might break up, but if you love each other enough to make it work through all the flaws, I promise you it’s worth it. I never thought I’d be in a long distance relationship let alone SURVIVE one, especially with anxiety and depression problems, but here I am a year later and only a few months away from graduating and moving in with him ❤️ it’s so worth it.

Hello, I’m Kelsey I’m “talking “ to this guy that is in the army , he just got the call he has to leave in July to Afghanistan, I’m so new to this and I’m just to be his girlfriend before he leaves ... he don’t have much family , so he has his grandma and sister and me , and I want to stick by him but his last girlfriend cheated on him when he was in Afghanistan, so his trust is fucked and I understand that but I just want a chance and be “More then a girl he’s talking to “

Hey I’m Aida, I’m 17 and I’m from New Jersey. I am actually going through the same thing! My boyfriend graduated this past summer and I am a senior in high school. We talk every single day, we spend time together all the time. & he decided to join the navy. He leaves for boot camp sometime in December, and it sucks especially because I am at a new school. I don’t really know a lot of people there. But with writing letters to each other and just being focused on what we have to do here as their girlfriends, I am pretty sure that time will fly by quickly. We can always talk if anything ☺️

Hi I started dating my boyfriend during my junior year of high school. I’m currently a freshman in college. He left for the army basic training over a month ago. I know a little bit about being away from him and the communication if you want to talk. It’s not easy but it does get better. I spent everyday with him the summer before he left... I even slept at his house with him the entire week before he left. It is a huge change but if your relationship is strong you can do it.
