In need of a fellow Nuke significant other
I really am needing someone who has been through the entire process with their Nuke's training. I'm starting to really have a difficult time and would really like someone who understand or is currently going through what I am.
Thanks for anyone who can help me.

I am just dealing with the distance and lack of communication. Plus the fact it seems like I'm putting more into the relationship currently. Some have my friends have even said that I don't want to hear what they want to say. I'm just currently have difficulty coping.

Thanks, I really need someone else who understands the current situation. I love my friends to death but they just don't understand. One has a bad view on military relationships and long distance relationships and I get the impression he is just waiting to see when things go sour. The other actually held his tongue and said I didn't want to hear what he had to say.

I know how you feel. They are really busy. I was starting to feel the same way and I talked to my sailor about it and I told him that if he could text me something really lovey in the morning so I know that is on his mind. He reassured me that everything that he is doing there he is doing for our future together so be patient. It will get better. I just am looking forward to seeing him christmas. And keeping that in my mind always

I finally got to talk to him last night about it all. I do feel better now although not as great as I should. I told him that just a letter every now and then would mean the world to me. That's what honestly keeps me going is knowing that as soon as I get my degree I get to move to him, that currently we are both working towards our future. I am looking forward to see him for Christmas, although I'm now working retail so I don't get many days off around the holidays like I did last year working in food service. I get to pick him up from the airport and take him home. Then go back to his house on Christmas Eve and drive back on Christmas or the day after for my best friends wedding. That's the plan currently at least, depends on if she has a rehearsal dinner.

I talked to mine a few days ago. We worked it out too. I am sure you mean the world to him. Guys are special haha...sometimes you just have to tell him exactly what you want. Even with romance. Or at least that worked for me. =) My sailor recently started classes. I know he is just going to get busier. I may need advice from you soon.

I better be special to him cause he's been talking about marrying me for about past year just because of how we clicked prior to our relationship and how similar we are. I forget that sometimes I have to be direct, although I keep it to myself til the weekend due to an issue causing him not wake up one morning causing a lot of backlash. Although this morning he really did try to be better about everything this morning. I got 2 voicemails and 2 text messages telling me to smile. Plus I also got my confirmation that the cookies I sent were delivered to the base. =)

Hey darling! Sorry I didn't see this post earlier.
I'm a Nuke fiancee. He just graduated Prototype and is on his way to the fleet. If you need any help or just someone to talk to, please feel free to message me. :)
