Big Subject!!!!!!! Big Surprise!!!!!!

[Thumbs18]

Ok so for those of you who don't know my bf is in the US Army National Guard and I'm extremely proud of him. Well he and I were talking last night with my mom about basic training (my dad was USAF) and they well HE brought something up. He said he wants to go full time army but he doesnt want to leave me. He asked me if I would go with him 2 base wherever he's stationed ... I wanted to cry. I said that yes I would but was wondering what he was getting at . . .he said he wants to spend the rest of his life with me . I'm kinda scared bc I feel he same way I mean I'd follow him to the ends of the earth and beyond but I'm only 18. . .my mom is all for this and calls it a "proposal" of sorts. Is it weird to be thinking about getting married b4 I'm even out of high school? My bf is my bff (seriously). I do want to marry him. . .but is this weird? would any of you guys be considering this at such a young age?

i'm not going to lie...i WOULD be married right now if I could be lol.
I feel the same way about my BF that you do about yours it sounds and I would do just about anything to be with him forever, and I know he feels the same about me.

We've actually talked about marriage before (not like...'hey let's get married' or anything like that) but I mean...we've talked a bit about it and since we're both in university we are going to definitley wait until we both graduate.

But honestly, I'd get married to my BF right now if I could! lol

So best of luck to your BF & you! And it's great that your mom is in agreeance with you too. (because I know BOTH my & my bf's moms would fuh-lip!)

My mom married my dad right when he came back from basic training. . .from the first time she and my dad saw me and my bf 2gether they said they knew that he was IT for me. I would go to base with him. . .in a heartbeat. He told me I was his world. . .he never wanted to lose me or let me go. Whenever we talk about it we both end up crying. . .not sad crying but that OMG I can't believe we r talking about doing this crying. He is absolutely amazing. Our friends swear that we'll be engaged b4 he leaves.

If your in love, then your in love theres no stopping it
ahh your soooo lucky, i have always wanted to marry into the
Army, something about them I just love. We have a training base
not far from our town, so theres always alot near by, we'll pass
and I'll be able to point them out from far away.

haha, but good luck to you and your army-boyfriend-soon-to-be-army-husband-maybe.

I'm so happy for you. And tell your (fiance?) that I said thank you for keeping me and my family and my country safe.

 

[XxCuriosityxX<3]

He sounds like a great guy.
And love doesn't have an age restriction.

I wish the best of luck to both of you.

And give him an extra hug for me for keeping our country safe.

 

[BabyPiglet]

Congratulations. This is a start to a whole new life. Have fun.

And tell your boyfriend good luck with the Army.

Thanx guys. There is a chance that he will be deployed on December 8... 1 month from my 19 birthday . His recruiter called him 2day and told him that since the deployment times have been shortened to a year his depolyment date might get moved up (he's in the 2nd platoon of Charlie Company in Fort Jackson. . .no idea what that means). He told me 2day that he wants to grow old and wrinkly with me (ew. . .but cute) . He is so sweet and absolutely adorable. I love him with all my heart . Right now I think we are more of a promise ring phase (minus the ring) and thats fine with me. . .he and my mom keep talking about him leaving and he says that he cant turn his back on me to get on the plane but he doesn't want to see me cry. When I see him at his graduation I know I'll be the crazy one who cant wait to hold him. It's getting so close to his leave date. Only 58 days left. Everynight when I see him it gets harder to watch him leave and to let him go. I don't know if it's bc I won't get to see him for so long or what. People at school are giving us heck over it. They keep telling us we're too young and that we think we'll last forever but we won't make it through BT. I know that they're wrong but it still hurts. I may only b 18 but I'm in this for long haul.

I've dated the US army(though it wasn't as serious as this is for you) and its so hard to be without them. His RSP drill weekends should get you a little bit used to being without him though. don't think of it as in 58 days you'll be without him, think of it as 58 days to be with him. don't let your time together be clouded by dread of leaving one another, just love each other as much as you can and you'll get through it. I promise.

you can always pm me if you need someone to talk to.

I am and am not in the same situation as you.
My boyfriend is not in the army, but he does go to a different university than me, and it's about 2 hours away.
So all year it's been a struggle to be away from him for weeks at a time (he comes home on weekends sometimes, or i'll go up for the weekend to visit occasionally)
Obviously, it's alot different being 2 hours away at school than being continents away in the army, but it's still tough.
And from my expirience really the only thing you can do is stay positive.
There have been times were I cry for days because I miss him so much and I just get really down and upset and scared, but then I think about how much we love each other and about how after we're done school we'll be together forever.
So just try to keep your chin up when he's gone, and think about how after he's finished his tour you guys will have the rest of your lives to spend together.

And during your 58 remaining days together, spend as much time together as possible, smell him and smooch him and touch him as much as possible.
I know one of the things I miss most when I don't see my BF for weeks at a time is just touching his arm or something.

Again, obviously it would be way harder for you because the situations are alot different, but that's all the advice I can give.
And I am so happy that you & your BF have really found true, real love. It's the greatest feeling in the world.

We are with each other pretty much all the time. At school, after work, sometimes we even go c each other AT work. I leave him little notes and stuff on his car when I know he had a bad day. Tonight I was at wal mart with my mom and he came 2 c me after work. It was a big surprise bc I knew he was tired and figured he'd just go home. It's little things like that that I know is going to get me thru this summer. . .just the memory of him doing things like that.

Love knows no bounds.
If you feel it's right and you're mature and responsible enough and are of age or parents approve,do it.

Good Luck and Congrats to whatever comes you way.
And I just want to echo what Shelby said...

And tell your (fiance?) that I said thank you for keeping me and my family and my country safe.

My mom married my dad a couple months after she graduated high school. And I know a girl who graduated last year who was in a similar situation. Her boyfriend who was in the military proposed to her near the end of her senior year. She said yes, too. I think it's sweet. Congrats and good luck!
