My boyfriend is a Marine and is currently deployed. He’s been gone for 3 months already, and we still have 6 months left. We’ve known each other for around 6 years, and have been together for 7 months. Our relationship is nothing like Dear John or any of those stories. There is nothing romantic or glamorous about him being overseas. It’s hard and it’s lonely and it’s exhausting. But if there is one thing that keeps me going, it’s when he tells me he loves me and can’t wait till he comes home so he can snuggle with me every night. We drive each other crazy, but if there’s anything I have faith in, it’s that we will make it through this rough time in our lives and will be stronger than ever when he comes home. And like he says to me to cheer me up, we’ll be together forever and a year and a day<3
