I'm sure all of us relate I find for me I just have to set small daily goals or tasks to be able to get me through cause if I looked at the whole of how long it is really gonna be without my man I'm gonna fall apart.One day at a time is how I make it.My husband is no longer in boot camp but we are still apart.If you are able to go to his PIR that should help for you to look forward to and countdown to.Good luck to you it is very rough but you are in the perfect place for advice and shoulders to cry on.Stay strong!

I get frustrated all the time. I really get upset when I'm having a bad day, because I know that he could easily make it better w\just saying a few words. It's rough, my friends don't understand, so it's hard to know who to turn to. I get so annoyed when girls are away from their b\f for a fews days and are like "I miss him"..lol Having him gone is making me gouchy! On the flip side,it has also made me realise how much I love him..

just readin trough the replies... and urs made me giggle.
Yeah its crazy to think about what normal couples take advantage of... like the time they have to spend togther almost every day. It pisses me off when my friends compliain about missing their boyfriends after a weekend or not being able to spend that much time together... i just ant to be like y are you saying that to me??? How about you try being apart for months!!!!

I know how that one goes....I just changed jobs at my work and the girl that is training me lives like 20 minutes away from her man.....and all day long she complains about how she misses him. And to top it off she texts him all day so I have to see her smiling and giggling and writing back. What I wouldn't give to get an instant reply back right now instead of waiting on a letter. I really have realized how good all the little things are in a relationship and I don't feel that i'll ever take them for granted anymore.

It does get tough from time to time..I listen to the music we used to share and keep myself focused in writing letters, working, and living. I find comfort in going to lunch or dinner with girlfriends. When I get really lonely I keep a journal and write down things that I would like to share with him when I see him. The days and weeks will fly by and I think, Wow that went by fast..little secret I keep his letters on my desk at home, and I read them sometimes over again..focus on the sacrifice he is making and how proud you are of him! hope it helps..talk anytime :)

I understand... and you really dont sound crazy!! I think a lot of us girls can completly relate to what ur saying...
I have found that my friend really help me take my mind off of being so lonely and missing him. So maybe if you go out for a night and just try to have a good time that would help. When im really missing my boyfriend i look at pictures and read old messages... or even the letters he sent me frm bootcamp. Seeing things that made me happy really help me. But somedays theres just no putting a stp to the feeling. thoes days i like to cuddle up in my navy sweats with some ice cream and read my magazine or watch a movie... and just have a sad day. The best thing for you to do is keep urself busy... that way you always have smething else on your mind... and that might help you get through these hard times. Im sorry your feling so lonely. If you ever need to talk or vent im here for ya! my email is l-o-l16@hotmail.com

I can completely relate to what all of you say. I'm sure I'm a lot younger, my boyfriend just started boot camp about a week ago and it is soo difficult for me. We were together everyday for a long time and now not even being able to contact him yet is driving me insane. Since I'm still in high school it's really tough, especially with him not being here for valentines day. I had to walk around school all day watching everyone with their roses and holding hands and it drove me crazy i almost broke down. and then my friends have a boyfriend they are going out with for like one month and they tell me they "know how I feel" because they didn't talk to their man for a day. It drives me crazy I just want to snap they have no idea what I'm feeling or what I'm going through and they shouldn't even have the nerve to tell me that!!! they don't understand because they are so young and they just don't get the idea of a serious relationship at that age, but thats what it is and I can't stop thinking about him.

I definately get lonely especially when I get out of my classes earlier this semester. All my friends are with their fiancee's everyday and I don't really have no one to go out. Our daughter keeps me busy though but I wish there was someone I could talk to. My friends are the same way as you all said they act like they know what im doing through, but they dont! But in my free time I mostly rent movies from Red Box lol and watch those, and come on here to relate to others who know exactly what I'm going through.
