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

don't worry. i was completely confident in our love when my boyfriend left for bootcamp and yet i asked the same questions. don't worry if its meant to be it will be. when he got back he proposed we're now married with a 2 n half month old daughter. chances are he will love you more when he gets back most guys the only thing that keeps them going is the letters and pictures you send them. :)

ahhh! this is really really not comforting.... my boyfriend and i have been dating for almost a year, and next fall he is going away to basic instead of college, and im really afraid of whats going to happen.... i'm really sorry, and im sure im going to end up knowing exactly how you feel....

Well, shit does happen. What are you going to do? Dump him for saying that? FFS, don't be pathetic. At your obvious age, the chances are in two years time you'll move on to someone else anyway.

of course everyone's right in a way. I'm selfish for hoping I don't get hurt again; I'm stupid for my insecurity when all of our relationship's ups and downs prove correctly; I'll probably be the one to not feel the same; whatever the case, I don't have to deal with it until he comes back. As for now, I'm freaking enjoying my semi-single life.

So you're a manipulative butthead as this thread has played you out to be. Either he was really into you when this happened, loved you, and was being fatalistic when he said what he did... Or he never gave a damned in the first, and you were trying to fish for confessions of love right before he's going out on tour. Either way, you're a horrible person and you better not be in his reality when he does get back home. You're an urchin.

you are a terrible person. at first i could sympathize with you because my husband is going thru the same thing. maybe if you weren't such a selfish bitch, he would cry over you every night because of how much he misses you, which he probably will while you enjoy your "semi-single life". i hope he doesn't waste his paper writing you precious letters because you don't deserve them, i also hope he can find some off base tang once he gets to a.i.t. enjoy your single life because you don't deserve a solider.

Wow, what a horrible thing to ask a person while they're going through such a stressful time. I've been in his shoes, and he's totally right. Shit happens. You can become a totally different person when you graduate Basic Military Qualification and yeah, maybe he won't love you anymore because he realizes that you're not fit to be a military girlfriend/wife. He has balls to go out there and want to defend the country well guess what, you have to have balls to let him without being so insecure and whiney. Basic training is a very short and simple course in comparison to preparation and being on a tour. BTW I read your comment on how you think you're "semi-single" well you'll be one of those girlfriends who will, while your man is on tour, be screwing his buddy from batallion and when he gets back he'll find the house empty and he'll never hear from you again. You totally don't deserve any man (or woman) who has the guts to defend your country.
