I Am a Military Girlfriend

It's easier to pretend I'm single. He isn't deployed, he's on ship with bad reception. We text once a week nothing more. So it's easier to pretend I'm single. That way I don't miss him as much. But it makes me think about him more. Sometimes I feel like it's his way of breaking up with me.

Why pretend? How long have you been together? Do you still love one another? It seems like you two aren't close anymore. I bet you never thought it would be like this. And if he gets deployed, what happens then? More distance. Sounds like you need to have a serious discussion in person. When is he coming home?

@PoetryNEmotion I still love him. It's been a few months now. I knew he was going to be deployed soon and I anticipated that I won't be able to speak to him for months. But before that happens, I wanted to spend as much time with him before he goes away. I don't know the next time I'll see him, or hear his voice. I guess knowing that he isn't deployed yet and not even talking to me hurts.

@LostFantasy You said he doesn't talk or show you affection anymore. You would love someone like that? Is he the first person you have been in love with?

Not the first person. I don't know what he's going through. I need to be understanding for his actions. He can be extremely busy or the reception just sucks.
