hey hun. my fiance left for boot camp on august 23rd. he has been gone for 3 weeks now!! this site is s helpful!! if you ever need to talk dont hesitate were all on here for the same reason going through the same thing! things get easier and time goes by faster! im almost half way through it and have 35 days to get a plane ticket hotel and all that stuff! i count it down in days and it seems faster then counting it in weeks! keep yourself busy and write him as many letters as you can! everything will be worth the wait in the end :)

well to pass my time i am working 2 jobs! a full time one and a part time one. hang out with your friends and family. start working out everyday. i used to not work out much but now i run a mile every morning and every night and just simple things like that will make it feel like the days are faster. just gotta keep busy

yes the exercise helps! i havent been in good shape and been able to run a straight mile without stopping since i played soccer 5 years ago in high school and i started running and now i can run a mile just fine. when i run i push myself and tell myself " if he can be pushed to the limits every day for 8 weeks then why cant i push myself and do this with him but on my own." it helps me alot!

my fiance left sept 13 i know how you are feeling. it hurts and no one around you understands what you are going through. I randomly break down and cry at any moment because something reminds me of him. I am trying to stay busy but it never fails that one second i have to think it goes directly to him! I understand and I'm right there next to you your not alone <3

Omg! I'm the same!!! I cry ALL THE TIME! especially at night! Ugh

try to stay strong ladies! i was a mess the first couple days but it gets so much easier! trust me! especially when you get your first letter! you will be on cloud 9 for a couple days :) stay strong for him.. he wouldnt want you to be laying around crying and miserable all the time. enjoy your time apart from each other and learn who you are and know that the tears and the wait will be worth it in the end :) if you girls need to talk you can always add me to facebook:) ill listen when you need to vent or just need someone to talk to thats going through what your going through.
