Hi, I'm 16 years old and I'm scared. I've been with my boyfriend for 14 months and he left for the navy yesterday, I'm a very emotional person and I'm scared about how I'm going to feel when I really start to miss him. I'm surprised at how little I cried when he left but every time that I remember that I can't see him whenever I want to my heart jumps and I feel sick. I'm OK at the moment but I've been on loads of navy sites and all the women on there seem like their world is crashing down. Please do not doubt the strength of my relationship, me and my boyfriend are deeply in love and just because we are young (he is 18) it doesn't mean we can't have strong feelings, I saw him cry for the first time in 14 months when he left. He is my best friend and I love him so much, what is going to happen to us? Please help me... abbi-melissa x

Keep in contact, Tell him you love him(he knows that) and that you are waiting for him.
Keep busy. Stay away from the ones with world crashing down, or give them support. They sound like in same boat. Take Care

Thank you very musch for your help but do you know what I can do to keep me from feeling sad when he's away xx

I would be with friends or family. Enjoy yourself, He doesn't want you to be miserable.
This is not my area of expertise. I do wish you well.

I know this maybe a very hard time for you. It would for me if that happened. If you begin thinking about him just think about all the good times you guys have & know that when he comes back you will spend those times again with eachother. I Lost my father when i was 11 years old & it was the hardest time of my life. I just think positive about things now. I know that my dad is always watching me. Just remember think positive. Dont let your life crash down. Dont let your heart break. Remember that he loves you & he will be home soon

Thank you everyone so much for your support, thank you rockstar for sharing your story with me, I feel a little selfish for thinking my problem was big when another person has acctually lost somebody but you have all made me feel very reassured, your right I do love him very much and I will be here waiting when he gets back thank you all xxxx abbi-melissa xxxx

your welcome. dont feel selfish your going thru a sitituation that is hard for you. my dad was IN & OUT of the hospital constantly. he was very sick waiting for a liver transplant. he was the next one on the list to get it. but he did before he got the liver. I cried my heart out. & now ever since he has been gone i felt liek i lsot something precious in my life. its hard because my dad was one of my best friends. he was there to lsiten to me. laugh with me. but remember stay positive. wait patenitly. love him as long as you can.

Thank you x
