writes:Hello people,I've never asked for advice on this type of thing before but just needed some unbiased opinions from people, so here goes.My boyfriend of 6 months is in the British army in the Infantry, he has just recently gone to Belize for army training for 6 weeks. He is due to return this weekend.Now I knew I would miss him a lot but decided to focus on other things, so I've been keeping myself really busy, and to be honest i've not felt that lonely, quite enjoyed the freedom to some extent! Howevr, in the whole time he has been there I have had little contact from him and its just weird. Dont get me worng, I completely understand that when he was in the actual jungle there wouldnt have been any reception on his phone or access to computers, but for the past 11 days hes been out of the jungle with some time off. (He's gone scuba diving and to Cancun for a few days).so I'm finiding it a bit odd that he's not bothered to keep in touch. I appreciate he is probably just enjoying his time off after the crappy jungle experience, but makes me think is there not time to at least ring once? even if from a payphone? I just would have appreciated one quick phone call so I could hear the sound of his voice (how corny does that sound).all ive had is 1 message on facebook from him in the last 2 weeks, which was really lovely, but makes me wonder if he cares about me at all. I mean I have been waiting around for him for the past 6 weeks, missing him, (even turned down a date lol) and then in his final week it feels like he just wants to have fun before he comes home, but when he gets back he can pick me up again.now believe me, im not some sort of bunny boiler, I know we've only been together 6 months and everything but it just makes me think. after all, when he is home he constantly rings and texts all the time (which can get actually quite annoying) so its the contrast that's worrying me.anyway would just appreciate some honest advice about what to do. It sounds selfish but I just dont know if I can handle this whole military relationship crap. I mean he's only been gone 6 weeks, imagine what its gonna be like when he gets deployed somewhere for months at a time? so really im thinking of the future, is this what I really want?anyone with boyfriends/girlfriends in the army or anyone who wants to comment, please do, your comments will be much appreciated.ThanksEmma

i know how it feels when you just get 1 message in 2weeks.Anyways i think you need not bother a lot about it.Think it once,did he call or had sent message to any one else, i mean his friends or relatives????He sent you a message that means he cares for you...After all you know guys.. they are a bit forgetful & its just about 6 weeks then he'll be back...My boyfriend is going out for 10 months...even i am feeling sad but i can't stop him.He has to earn & for millitary people duty comes first....If you need any more advices mail me on - [email address blocked] Devika
