Hello everyone!
I have been feeling rather sad these past few days. Boot camp was hard but I am glad that it's over. I think bootcamp made our relationship stronger. Right after graduation, he was sweet and very attentive. My boyfriend is now in A school and on the first week that he was there, he was sweet and was calling me everyday. However, once school started, he rarely called or texted. I tried telling him that I would really appreaciate a 2 minute call or even just one or two texts a day, and he tried to fulfill my request for two days and now we are not talking again. When I call, he wont even pick up. We would just text back and forth. This had been going on for like a week now. When I asked why he couldn't even spare a minute or two on the phone, he says he is really busy. I understand he is busy (I am busy too, but I could always find time to talk). But is it really hard to call your girlfriend for just one minute to make sure she is okay?
Anyways, thank you for reading. Any advice would greatly be appreciated. Otherwise, I just really need to get this off my chest.
Happy Saturday!

It's fun coz u know u havent seen him for 2 months.... then you will see them again. It was a great feeling, it felt like we appreciated each other more than before. He was so proud of himself. He got mature and sweet. Treated me with respect all day. However i think most of those qualities were short-lived. =( But you know, everyone is different....
awww poor thing. well im here to talk when he doesnt have time for you :) i gchat all day and obvi facebook
Thanks Rani!!!! I appreaciate it..... i hope it changes when A school is over. I guess I gotta be tough... ugh =( I will add u right now... =)
Thank you Crystal for your reply... however what do u mean by u wouldve done things a little different?
He is at Fort Sam Houston, TX
You are right Dina... that's why I am having a really hard time accepting that he is "busy" and dont have time to call or text. Cant even remember the last time we said "i love u" to each other but i know i could be asking too much. It's been a week already........ i dont think i feel appreaciated right now =( I just hope it's just coz he is in A school.
I know Dina.... That's why I have been feeling down these days... Don't know what to do yet right now. Deployments would suck!
