My soon to be fiance leaves in january for bootcamp and things are getting stressful for him. He is worried about leaving me behind. I told him that ill be here when he gets back. He told me last night that hes worried im not prepared for him to leave. Ive tried my hardest to explain how prepared I am trying to be, even though I will never be fully prepared. I told him ill be busy while hes away to keep from suffering and i explained that im going to be spending a lot of time with his family.

I need advide on how to make him less stressed about leaving.

With it almost being april now, I would assume he is coming to the end of training? How did yall do?
