I can understand where you are coming from, when my fiance left for his bootcamp, I was worried. When my fiance graduated though it was one of the best days of my life to get to hug and kiss him again! I highly doubt he will meet anyone at bootcamp, you are probably all he can think about! From my experience after bootcamp he had a greater appreciation for me because he did not get to just talk to me whenever he wanted to and didnt get to see me for two months! He was sweet before but it got even better after bootcamp! I feel if your love for eachother is strong it can make it through anything! Bootcamp is just the start of this crazy ride! 

thank you for this !!

As hard as it is, just don't think about it. Get involved in something. If you're in school, study your butt off. If you have a cool hobby, focus on getting a lot better at it. The main point is that your worrying will not do anything good for you or your relationship. You either trust him and that he loves you, or not. It sounds a little blunt but I had to deal with the same thing. If anything, this kind of worrying pushes him away emotionally. Refocus on your life. Take charge with the things you love to do. That is what attracted him to you in the beginning. It is so much more attractive for him to come home to a girl full of life than to one sitting and waiting for him to get back insecure about the relationship. Be strong girl.

thank you so much !
You keep posting the same exact thing over and over again. Honestly, if he loses interest and forgets about you then he wasn't all that serious about you in the first place. Right now he isn't focusing on you or your relationship. He has bigger things to focus on and doesn't need to have you at home stressed and worrying all the time. He needs a strong woman. Focus on you, find something to occupy your time, and it will be over before you know it.
I had a melt down before he left asking if he wanted to just breakup with me. It's a real fear because of all the unknown. And that wasn't what I wanted or truly thought of; it was all the anxiety and insecurity talking. But he reassured me of our love and I feel like I needed to express how scared I was of the unknown. Bootcamp is going to be tough not being able to talk whenever. But I am so excited to get the first letter from him! And that keeps me going. And I'd get to read it over and over when I'm missing him.
