I just read a thread on here and a couple people said their sons/daughters were writing about wanting to break up with their significant other because they've found someone good looking? My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 2 years now and have never thought of cheating on each other, I just wanted to know how common this is? In my SR's START book it clearly stated that opposite sexes were not allowed to speak to each other.

If your boyfriend really cares about you he won't break up with you at boot camp. He'll be too busy training to even think about anything other than his job. My son and his girl friend discovered how much they meant to each other while he was at boot camp and ended up getting married. I think you're worrying about something that may never happen.

Chyan - Why worry about something you have no control over?  If some guy, any guy, breaks up because they found someone "better looking", then you need to kick em to the curb.  You will actually cause more harm to your realationship if you even bring up this issue with your BF about cheating.  Most guys finally will get to a point of saying, "if my GF keeps asking if I'm cheating on her, then why not just do it since I'm being accused anyways?"  

 

Your relationship is in serious jeopardy if you think he's thinking  "Why did I buy a horse, when there is riding stables all over the country".  Just because he can't talk to the opposite sex in boot camp, he will in "A", "C", in the fleet, in the super market, at the gas station, or anywhere else in life.

 

Again, you are going down a path that you shouldn't be going down.  If you don't trust your BF, then you need to move on now!  Why waste your life with someone you can't trust?  Relationships are based on trust. You are missing this ground rule....  

 

I have a daughter, I would tell her exactly what I'm telling you... 

I'm not worried about it! It just bothered me that it was actually happening to people waiting for their love to get out of BC. Thanks for yalls answers!
