Today, I told my boyfriend I was afraid he would no longer love me when he returned from basic training. Hoping he would reassure me his feelings wouldn't change and we'd still be together, he replied instead, "Shit happens." FML

I can understand why she'd be devastated. But, honestly, that's a ridiculous question to ask. If you honestly have to ask that type of question, be prepared for heartbreak, because you're not going to last. Have some trust in your relationship and support his decision. Don't make his leaving for basic training about you. Asking a question like that shows him that all you care about is whether or not he'll still care for you. It's not about you. It's about him. Stop being so selfish.

Sounds like a typical female to say something she doesn't mean to get a man to say something he doesn't mean..... YDI

i cant believe you just said thaat. are you going to want him after he kills people. First of all i am a army gf and theres a huge difference in killing someone and killing someone for our freedom. huge. He is a ranger and he is putting his life in jepordy to do so. I am there to support any desicion he makes. Also have the someone that cares about you and love you when you get home. He means the world to me and always tells me how much i mean to him. But if your the type of girl that needs to see him all the time for it to make you think he loves you. you are going to have it extremly hard. Its not easy but if you love him enough you will make it work

my boyfriend just graduated from basic training- he's in tech school now- and i felt the same. guys are such dicks and they don't understand how girls minds work. It is frustrating how stupid they can be!

so hes leaving for basic and is gunna have his life run for him and wont be able to do anything but what they tell him to do. your staying home and can do whatever or whoever you want. shouldnt he be worried if youll still love him when he gets back? just a thought

As a woman, and a sergeant who has seen many young troops go through basic and AIT/tech school, I have to tell you, its better to cut it off right now. The relationships that outlast that time are the smallest minority, not the majority. People change a great deal during this period, and there is a sense of freedom (and a great deal of peer pressure) in being away from home and family for the first time that can cause them to do regrettable things. But nobody ever listens to this advice, despite how many times we give it. This is not going to end well. If it ends up lasting long enough for you to follow him to his duty station, odds say you will be very unhappy. Or you could enlist yourself and go see the world. ;-) We'll take you.

to your last comment... if only it were that easy. i'm being medically reclassed and i'm having a hell of a time finding a new job because the army is doing so many cut backs.
