How to stop getting upset!
19 Answers
As some of you know my boyfriend is going away in january for a few months. If he talks to me about it I find it hard not to get upset, I really can't help it but I know I'm going to miss him soooo much! As cheesy as it sounds I love him that much that I don't know what I'll do without him. He has been there for me through a lot of things and I can't comprehend him not being here. How am I going to get through the run up and time when he's away?

Maybe keep a diary for him for when he comes home. Try and surround yourself with family & friends for support.
And lastly be proud of him doing such an amazing job!

You're bound to be upset and emotional coming up to his going,and cos he knows and loves you,he will understand that. You'll prob be a bit of mess when he leaves,but,thats only to be expected too...the unknown...you being without him...and him on active service...is something you can only begin to deal with when it happens....You will probably find you're much stronger than you ever thought you could be,cos you'll find the strength within you!..Best wishes to you both xx
I think he's giving it up after he's done 12 years terambulan, so theres a few more years to go yet and no I'm not going to get pregnant so he stays! He'd only get 2 weeks off for that anyway!
Thanks ummmm and lindapinda, I'm glad people understand, I was beginning to think I was a big waterworks and needed to try and stop it! I'm sure it'll be easier once he's gone because I'll just get on with it. The build up to it is worse I think

I've never been in your particular shoes caj,but,my nephew has served in Afghanistan. The family and friends worry etc..but,your boyfriend will be very busy doing the job he has trained for,and will look forward to your emails and fone convos that will bring back the "normality" that he's used to...Just be you..thats the best thing :-)
as someone suggested a diary for yourself to keep while hes away, why not suggest that he keep a diary also so he can share his experiences with you. although it is hard on you that he will be away, it is also very hard on the soldier etc as they see so much. ive seen first hand how it can affect men and they can find it so difficult to relay their emotions of that back so a diary would help you understand any changes to him when he returns. hope all goes ok and he is returned to you safely.
Sorry CAJ1, You will just have to get over it , thats his chosen vocation , and all of us hope everyone in the forces stay safe wherever they are , All you need to do is make the most of the time you have with him now before he goes and pardon the phrase , leave him begging for more , that should make him want to come home to you as quickly as possible , i expect he is looking forward to his time with his mates and will think everyday about you whilst he is away..........
