A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

So i have a boyfriend who i have been with for 3 years now. he is in the army. when he first joined we really weren't together but when he came home from basic training we connected again. he was recentley deployed to iraq and will be home in january. I am rethinking him and i.i just don't know how to deal with the pain of him being gone. i mean sometimes i just want to give up and be a normal and not cry everyday. But on the other hand he is the nicest most caring person in the world and would do anything for me. What should i do?

I really don't reply a lot to the questions I approve, but yours was an exception, as I empathize with your situation. I am an Air Force wife. My husband is currently stationed in Iraq, and he won't return until January. I have to tell you, even though it is so painful having him away, it is worth it just to be with him. I'd wait 1,000 years for my husband. That's the question you really have to ask yourself. Is he worth the wait? I can tell you from experience that each time he goes becomes easier and easier, because it has in regards to my husband being away. It doesn't change the fact that I want him back home with me, but I cry less, and get on with life easier. As I said before, it's up to you to decide whether or not this man is worth the wait. If he is, the wait will make your relationship so much stronger in the long run. If not, then move on, and find someone worth waiting for. Best of luck!
