Also i believe they care more about the wellbeing of the taliban's feelings then mine (extreme army family.) i see him, barely ever, and am in the relationship only because i want to see the kind of person he will become once he is moved out and free of his parent's influence. i saw this side of him when we could actually see each other when we snuck around, now we're watched like vultures, and he's not even allowed at my house. do i stick around all summer watching my friends and their boyfriends? is there any advice for getting through the summer?ANY advice is welcome!

My best friend just moved to the army about a year ago, and his girlfriend was devastated when he left but now they have a stronger relationship than ever before. They keep in touch and he sees her everytime that he comes home. If it's meant to be, which you seem pretty sure about, then it will hopefully work out just as my friend's did. Just let your boyfriend know how you feel, he probably feels the same about leaving you! Hope i helped a little xx

hey there,
Dont give up, you liek this guy, right? then you can just throw away a year and a half of being together, relationships all get difficult, te key is to how to handle the hard bits. it will get extra hard when his family is as controlling as his, but they are just trying to protect their son, you cant take what they say too offensively.
talk to your boyfriend how you feel, but i don think there is anything wrong with hanging out with other couples over the summer htat are your firneds. after all you cant be the only single girl in alll of America!
Relax aboutthe situation and im sure it will take care of itself.
Good luk with it all : D
