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

haha, i'm flattered you think i'm a bitch when none of you even know me, him, nor our relationship history. if your definition of 'enjoying' semi-single life is cheating, then i'd hate myself too because my definition has nothing to do with cheating. more of the keeping myself busy with fun, happy friends because he asked me to.

Yeah, when my ex decided to join the Marines, he actually said the same thing. I cried, and he rolled his eyes and told his mom that I was "overly emotional." I feel your pain.

why on earth would you be flattered to have people think your a bitch? Honestly that is very immature. And perhaps we are all thinking this because you say things like semi-single life and that your the idiot for doubting everything when its probably you who will feel different. Thats such a load of crap. Yes I worry about my boyfriend being in the army and how it will all play out, and before he got accepted to the army I did not think much of it and he totally opened my eyes.. and after hearing stories of all his buddies being cheated on and abused by girlfriends and wives I would never say things like you have been. Chances are you would be the person to cheat on him or completely leave his side in a time of support. If you are saying things like this I do not blame your boyfriend for saying shit happens. Instead maybe try supporting him and becoming involved in his dreams instead of being so self absorbed because your scared of being emotionally hurt. People get over emotions, being the in army has so many greater risks and traumatizing experiences that will change a persons life.

Lol. When I was dating my ex. I was like "So are we alright now" And he was like "I don't know. It's something I have to go home and think about" And I was like "Oh, Ok, because you said you were in it for the long term" And he was like "Yeah, well. shit happens"

Well, are you really going to want him after he starts killing people? Think about it.
