Ok I have a question... Does the whole feeling alone thing get any easier or does it always stay there? My boyfriend hasn't been at A school but a couple of weeks but I feel very alone. I sometimes feel like I dont have a boyfriend. And we talk to each other every day but idk I catch myself stopping and thinking that I am alone right now and it sucks. I'm sure once I get back to school and start working more it will feel different but I just don't know if the feeling will ever subside some or will it always be there torturing me?

Yea I'm trying to become stronger and figure out how to be ok with being alone with just myself. I'm not a big fan of doing things by myself or I don't really like being alone. But I know that I need to get use to that and be ok with that because its going to be a major thing for however long he is going to be in the Navy. Its also hard because he is in Nuke school and I wait all day to talk to him because he is at school from 6:30 in the morning to 4 or 5 in the afternoon and then he has to put in study hours after school so like tonight I didn't get to talk to him til like 9 my time 10 for him and then I only get to talk to him for a couple of mins. I'm not blaming him or mad at him it just sucks I wait all day and try and keep myself busy all day and then only get 2 seconds with him when I finally get my time. 

Its just a lot of getting use to things and I'm 5 hours away from my family right now and not in a place I want to be so all I have right now is work and the couple of mins a night I get to talk to my boy. So I really really hate complaining and I really try to keep it all to myself because no one really wants to hear someone complain. But I am thankful for this website that I get a chance to complain and be sad and stuff on here because sometimes I feel like my family and friends dont want to hear me all the time. So I'm very very thankful for everyone on here even though we don't really know each other we do have some sort of a bond. :)

I understand how your feeling. I've been the same way lately. The phone and skype isnt always good enough when everyone you know has their boyfriend with them all the time. My boyfriend has been in ATT school for about 2 months now. Honestly I never thought I would say this but I think this is harder than boot camp. Being able to talk everday honestly makes me feel like somethings missing even more. We tend to argue a lot since all we have are conversations over the phone. We can't do those other things like go out to eat or watch tv or a movie, etc that makes relationships fun and exciting. Just keep yourself busy and you won't think about it as much. Once school starts again you'll be busy too and time will go much faster (I hope!). I'm glad you posted this because I was begining to think I was crazy for thinking this way haha.
