I've been with my boyfriend one and a half year. He just recently got deployed and honestly I'm not taking it well. The few times that he's called me I'm just at a loss for words; I don't know what to talk about with him. I also feel apathetic, when I am on the phone with him I just don't sound very enthusiastic to be hearing from him; but I really am excited to know that he is OK. But I want to know why I am feeling this way? Am I beginning to lose interest? Am I getting fed up with the military relationship?

this scares me that I will be going through the same thing when my boyfriend deploys in a few weeks. I hope things get better for you

I can remember when I was stationed in Turkey. I was there 18 months. I left with a girlfriend and we would write constantly and talk on the phone every Christmas and on her birthday in July. Most of the time our phone conversations made no sense. Neither of us knew what to say, but just hearing her voice soothed my soul. I went to Vietnam for 3 months from June to August 1966. I did not call her on her birthday. Couldn't as where I was was in the jungle. As soon as I got back to Turkey, I called her and explained everything.
Maybe your boyfriend just needs to hear your voice to know you still love him. Remember, he is in a combat zone and has enough to worry about. Having been there, it is important to keep your focus on what is going on around you. If you loose your focus it could cost you your life or the lives of your fellow soldiers.
