Boyfriends deployment

Hello,
My boyfriend and I have been together for 2 months but I just knew when I met him there was something more than "puppy love" there, I feel like hes someone I could spend the rest of my life with. He will be deployed to Iraq(for a year) in March and I plan to stay with him and I know this is going to be a test to our relationship. Is there anyone that knows how we can keep our relationship happy and healthy why he is over there? I am afraid his fellow military friends are telling him not to bother with this because of "cheating" but I know thats something I could never do to my hero! My second question- I heard the war in Iraq is not as bad as it was a few years ago but exactly how bad is it? Thank you for reading. Posted on 10/24/09, 11:10 pm |

Write him everyday.....it is the mail from home that keep them going. DOn't mention anything negative or make him worry about anything. Keep the letters light and happy. Always tell how proud you are of him.
Don't worry about cheating.....he is going to a country where that won't even happen....If he loves you, he will trust you too. Iraq is not as bad as it used to be...Afghanistan is the hot spot right now. The troops are training and working with the Iraqi Police for the transition....so don't worry..he will be fine and so will you. If you ever need to talk, I am here.

If you both agreed not to date other people, the only thing I know to do is be the best person you can be, so you won't have any regrets later. Someone said that if they (or you) are going to cheat, they'll do it whether they are in your own town or in Iraq. So that's the trust part! My boyfriend of 4 months has been in Iraq as a civilian for two weeks into a ONE YEAR term, too. So far he has been able to call really often, and we email and Skype. Oh- we're going to meet up for 10 days in Europe in 7 months! I've been reading up on this and the best advice for you and I is to keep busy. I'm trying to do it with meaningful, healthy things like furthering my education and painting arwork and exercising. Admittedly sometimes I just feel like going home and drinking a couple glasses of wine...
I am much less worried about Iraq than Afghanistan. Although if you are assigned Afghanistan, I guess you gotta go! For right now I'm just thankful for Iraq. Best of luck, know you're not alone!!!But I have hope and faith that things will work out for the best- and that means either way!
