Help...6 wks before leaving my boyfriend broke it off out of now where... WTH?!
My boyfriend of a year and a half blindsided me yesterday saying he cant invest in our relationship anymore. I was completely shocked and heart broken... he is the love of my life. We got in a stupid little argument the day before about sneakers of all things (things have been kinda emotional the last few months between us, but nothing real bad... our relationship is amazing, so I thought.) and then the next day he said he couldn't do it and wasn't ready. Literally 20 min before this ridiculous argument we were talking about our future and how much he loved and missed me.
I am in so much pain but I know him and I'm positive that this is because hes leaving... hes tried to pull away before but after we talked he realized it was him just gasping for anything to relieve his stress. He is having a hard time balancing time between his children and I... I don't demand any if his time and I'm happy to give it up for his children, he knows this. He wont talk to me because hes "still hurt"
Please, what do I do? I cant see my life without him.

I don't have a ton of advice for you, but I do know that new sailors/recruits are under a lot of stress. And don't know what to expect to happen. Since you aren't married the thought of being away from you, and deployments are a lot on them. The unknown is really hard on sailors from what I've learned and a lot of them freak out a little. Maybe give him some time to adjust. Obviously military life is so crazy and sporadic. Also not sure on this but my husbands recruiter always had horror stories to tell my husband about wives and girlfriends cheating on them while they are gone. To them it's funny. to a new sailor/recruit not so much.
