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

he's probably just scared. i understand your concern, but he just needs you to support him. just give him a big hug and tell him you are there for him when he needs you. he needs reassurance more than you do right now. while he's gone, keep yourself busy instead of worrying. hang out with your friends, make new friends, get a new hobby. but still write to him and talk to him whenever he can. it will be hard, but if you are there for him, he will be there for you. just explain to him that you trust him and you have a strong relationship. you will probably get an apology. :)

Ouch. I have that same fear- My boyfriend's heading off to Basic Training in August. He's assured me he'll be fine, he's not gonna leave me, but I'm still worried. Honestly, that's a dick move on his part. He could've done more to comfort you. :) I just hope it works out!

uhm, he is the one going on a completely new track in his life. she is just gonna be staying in the same place. he probably needs more comforting than her.

I agree, but it still wasn't very nice of him to say. They should both seriously consider caring more, being sweeter about it. Boot camp's definitely not the most fun thing in the world, but being alone for months isn't lovely either.

That's what you get for not trusting your significant other. The lack of trust shows that you don't really love him.

Shit DOES happen. You can't predict the future.

57 comments and no one noticed the grammatical nonsense of the second sentence?

It makes enough sense if 57 people understood it and commented.

Nope, Nonamerequired is right. Dangling prepositions are never okay.

HAHA, for those hating on my grammar, you're picking on something that's not even an issue. Most of your FMLs must be about how you absolutely abhor terrible grammar. Get over it. This world is stupid. Deal with it. At the very least, I try to make my stories understood by the majority.

Come on! The OP was fishing for her boyfriend to say something like "oh my god I'm going to love you forever and ever and ever and you're the greatest thing that ever happened to me". And she didn't get it (obviously because the BF doesn't feel that way). Don't go fishing for compliments. It's silly and rarely results in anything good. YDI!

YDI for being so emotionally needy that you need validation from your boyfriend.

Interesting fact about Basic Training: people don't get a lot of time to contact home. If your man is spending what little personal time he has contacting you, be grateful. It means he still cares. But if you keep saying stupid crap like that, he'll probably stop. Do people change at Basic? Absolutely. That's what they're there for, which is what makes it all the more frustrating when the people back home completely fail to understand what the Trainees are going through. They need your support, not to be loaded down with all your personal issues. They have enough to deal with.

#62, Holy shit thank you. Half of the people on here have no idea what basic is like.

if you have to hope and think about him reassuring you, you probably weren't too afraid in the first place. reassure your own self.

I went to basic to find my boyfriend couldn't take it and moved on without telling me. He doesn't seem like a keeper and you don't need any distractions during basic. I'd lose him. you'll be a different person any can find someone better anyways.
