tippie Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 Is anyone else out there in a Military Relationship? Its beyond hard but yet you try to stay so strong especially during deployments. Although every now && then you just want to break down && cry but sometimes you arent able to. When there stateside && you are just a girlfriend you want to be with them every chance you get but its impossible. You have to wait for a lucky holiday or leave. I knew what I was getting myself into to before I started this relationship but I didnt know how hard it would be...

If it's your first one, you'll never really know what you're getting into until you're actually in it...it takes two very special individuals to be able to handle a successful military relationship...

USMCHokie Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 Will being apart ever get easier?? It does get a little easier as you get accustomed to life without him, but it never stops sucking...
Author tippie Posted June 21, 2010 Author Posted June 21, 2010 It does get a little easier as you get accustomed to life without him, but it never stops sucking... those 10 days... gosh i just got so USE to him being him. honestly it never crossed my mind he had to leave until he had to buy the plane ticket. && reality slapped me in the face real hard. it feels so weird with him not being here...
Star Gazer Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 I've been in two military relationships. The first was when I was just 17, and he was 19 - USMC. His base was a good 3 hours away, and he ultimately was deployed. That was torture. We reconnected 13 years later, right before I met my ex (ain't that funny). It was like we were still teenagers again. I was so thankful just that he's still ALIVE! My second military relationship was with someone in active duty in the AF, but he wasn't deployed during the time we were together. He had been deployed 3 times I think, and had just returned from Uzbekistan when we met. One of my good girlfriends is a military wife (Navy), now stationed in Guam. Her hubby is all over the Pacific Rim, and I know it tortures her when he's away. But yes, like USMC said, it takes two very strong people - as well as the support of the entire military community - to make a military relationship work.
girlygirl25 Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 My friend's husband is in the military. He was deployed last year for 6 months. She moved to another city for that time period and made some new friends. Basically she tried to distract herself by making a new life...she got used to going through everday life without him also. She said it was extremely hard and very painful but she/they got through it.
Author tippie Posted June 21, 2010 Author Posted June 21, 2010 thanks!!! he just finished up a year deployment 2 months ago. as the days go by i just tell myself make this easy for yourself. but its hard when theres no one here back home that understands what im going through. well besides my mom but we live far apart as well. grrr being stationed overseas FUHREAKS me out. he will PCS around december && im just hoping he doesnt get overseas but thats what he really wants is to be in japan or germany..
