A female United Kingdom, anonymous writes:

Last night I got back with my boyfriend. We went out for a year and broke up because he had some issues he needed to sort out. We found we seemed to pull back together and after a long talk last night to give it another go. He is a soldier and next year will go on tour for 9 months. I will be worried but I know this is the man for me. Im just not sure how to get through the time apart. Any advice? Thanks.

I am in the same situation as you, although my boyfriend hasnt got a tour coming up straight away but we have been in that situation before. It is very hard, and more so on the person left at home, as you're left with the gap in your life not them. The trick is to just get on with your own life, and not to expect phone calls exactly when they get promised as it's not always possible at their end, letters are probably the best way as they are more personal and don't have a time limit. Try using blueys which you can get from the post office or eblueys which you can use online, all you need is your partners details and his bfpo or operation name/number.

Also, always remember no news is good news, so if you hear things on the news dont jump to conclusions, wait and see if you hear anything from your partners force/company.

Hope any of this helps you?? Good luck and stick at it, it's worth it in the end. :

BeckyBadger agony auntDistance makes the heart grow fonder the saying goes, when your boyfriend is away it is always natural for you to miss him and be worried about him.

While he is away if I were you I would use this time to see your friends more, take time out with your family, and basically keep busy, this will help ease the pain you feel while he is away. Take up a hobby, or focus on getting where you want to in your job. Obviouly you two can write to each other, and hopefully he will be able to have leave to come see you.

When he comes back you can be a refreshed woman waiting to greet her man!

Hope I helped, good luck!
