Angelo Rotto dA fUnKy mOnKeY Hello. I'm currently dating an army man. Looking for women with more experience in this. How do you deal with never being able to know anything? My guy got deployed recently and is now in iraq. I always feel stupid cause he's upset but can't say why.He works on the line. I sleep with my cell phone on my pillow waiting for a call , im text anything so i know he's alive. Is there anyways to make the time between calls easier? I was shocked when he got deployed as we had no real warning. We knew it was comming but all of a sudden it was like we're going tonight and bam he was gone. sweatdrop
Keep yourself busy if you sit around doing nothing, waiting it'll make things worse because you'll be doing nothing to distract your mind which'll make you think/dwell about it more which then will cause more stress and problems.
It's always nice when the Military surprises you with deployments rolleyes They say it wont happen and then a very short time after they say it wont it does. Pain in the a** it is.
Oh and it helps to not watch the news, really it does the media just twists things a lot and seriously just don't.
Thanks for the advice. We aren't getting on so well. We've been friends for a while but only dating a very short time before his deployment. He's very possesive and jealous which is causing major issues. I have two kids from a previous marriage so i am very busy. He gets very angry that i "Don't have time for him". When i go out with friends he gets very angry and jealous and demands i go home and stop going out because he wants me all to himself. I understand he's far away and going through alot but is this normal behavior? he didn't act like this before he left. He's constantly saying i don't love him which honestly is making me drift farther from him. He was angry the other day because my litle one (17 months ) was very sick and i could only talk to him for a few minutes. He made a big stink about how long it took to get a phone line and make the call ect and abruptly just said bye. I'm kinda at a crossroads on what to do here. My friends are sick of him ruining the few times a month we can actually get together and i'm getting sick of him making me feel like dirt because i'm not at home crying for him 24/7. Advice on how to get him to understand that i love him and im sad he is gone but i still have a life and need to carry on till he gets back.

 I think what's going on is what happened to me once is pretty much insecurity/paranoia that you're going to run out and cheat on him. This could be because you guys haven't dated long so he doesn't know you well enough as his girlfriend (major assumption there). What I'd suggest is e-mailing him or talking to him about this. Ask him why he acts that way, why he feels the way he does, tell him how you feel about what he says and does and reassure him that you love him and wont cheat on him. Keep in mind that this'll take time for him to learn to trust that you haven't and wont cheat on him. Just be firm and go out with your friends and stuff, you deserve to have a life. What I mean by be firm is to just go out and let him know you're going out and you're not going to stop because he thinks you need to spend all your time with him.
The relationship may work out and it may not but communication and trust and understanding is the key. I mean wouldn't you be paranoid if you had no way of knowing if your loved one was cheating on you or not and you hear all the time of partners of long distance love relationships cheating?

This is true. Thank you for your help. I am going to email him. He is still mad at me and ignoring me for not talking to him the other day. That boy has an iron will i tell ya. I tell him i will never cheat on him and how much i love him ..i guess i'll just keep doing that. About a week ago he said when he gets home (in 13 more months ..about ) he wants to get married o.o ...i was shocked but happy so i'm hoping we can get through this. We loved eachother long before we dated lol. It was a double crush love trhing in secret. I am hoping that he will relax and go back to his normal self. I know some bad stuff has happened there although i don't know exactly what and he seems very depressed so im starting to worry about PTSD. Could that be accounting for the mood and behavior change?

Your welcome smile I'm sure you can get through this. If you're worried about PTSD check the sticky we have about it and see if he has any symptoms that you notice. There's a lot of things that can cause mood and behavior changes even just stress can cause that sweatdrop But if you're worried do some research 3nodding

Hi, Enlisted here, i know the situation well but from a different perspective. my wife to be left me while i was in AIT b/c i could not talk to her very often, and when i could it was very brief. my advice is to try waiting it out for him to get back, then address these issues in person, he may be under alot of stress, but tats no excuse for hi to be any less caring or supportive. he just needs to realize that its as difficult for you to have him over there as it is for him to be over there! just my opinion, hope this helps
