i need a little advice....
my fiancee is in a-school, he's been there going on 2 weeks now. He hasn't started school or anything yet, he starts monday. Everything was great after boot camp, he went to a-school, got a cell phone so we can talk, everything was good last week, and then this week. something randomly happenend. he told me that they were moving some people across base to work on his building he was staying at and he wouldn't get service, and that he'd talk to me next week (this was tuesday), i'm like, okay, thats fine, do what you gotta do, i'll talk to you next week, i love you, blah blah blah, and come to find out last night, HE LIED TO ME! i texted him, and texted him, and said your lying, you do get service, your on facebook, etc, and he texted back 5 mins later and said, yes i did lie, i needed my time to think over things. okay, this is the first time he's EVER lied to me like that. I asked him why, and he said he didn't want to upset me. We've been together for 3 years now, and he's always told me things, and has always been honest no matter what. Heres whats really bothering me besides the lying part.. I found out he's texting his ex, and about 2 or 3 other girls. Should I be worried? for me, i think i should be. but he said there just friends, and not the girl he's marrying in a few weeks.. okay, but why isn't he acting like a guy i should be marrying? He never says i love you to me unless i say it to him, he's not sweet anymore, he's definitely not the man i fell in love with. He's changed this week, very badly, he was fine, and happy and everything last week, and now this week everything exploded. He said their talking about deployment and that's been on his mind most of the week, which i can understand, but he still wouldn't talk to me about it... Maybe i'm just overreacting, but idk, i really need some advice if anyone can help me. thankss.

Me too!!! Mine doesn't get to come home everynight, but he keeps me updated on what is going on. Then comes home on the weekends. So far we have had two going to captains mass for underaged drinking, and guys cheat on thier girls all the time, and they are right across the way from the all female ship. I am glad I am here to experience all this. I trust my husband too, but I'm not stupid either so now I will know what to look for if his behavior changes. And I can assure you I would not allow any of that behavior in my life. I will support him till the end, but I will not be the "good wife" that is for sure!!!!! It is a hard situation and it really takes a strong couple to make it. We are older been together for 6 years and have a son it is a little different.

Yah I don't really think having children or not makes any difference...maybe for some but not for us....my husband and I have been together for 5 years and we don't have any kids, and our relationship is as strong as ever.
I think what it really depends on is the man, if he's a good, honorable, loving, faithful husband, than there is absolutely nothing to worry about. Some guys cheat regardless....Navy or not, that's just how it is. I think all circumstances aside, some men are amazing and faithful and loving, and truly care about their families, and some men are weak and give into temptation and are selfish. Just depends on the individual.

That is horrible that he has to go through things like that!!! Loz I wouldn't stand for it luckily we have some pretty nice guys around that don't harass my husband but there r a lit of d bags around too. Also others are right it doesn't matter if they r in the navy or not but they have more, different, and bigger opportunities than if they were not in the navy! No one is blaming the navy everyone makes their own decisions. The navy has some pretty strict rules about this kinda stuff that makes me feel better but it doesn't stop all of them!

I was long distance with my now husband for over a year, got married and then we had a deployment. My vote on a military relationship espcially when they are far away is if you cant trust each other then its just going to be stressful and upsetting. give him space and realize he may be going through something and just stay positive.
