Today, I told my boyfriend I was afraid he would no longer love me when he returned from basic training. Hoping he would reassure me his feelings wouldn't change and we'd still be together, he replied instead, "Shit happens." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend told me he loves me. Instead of saying it back, I had a panic attack. FML

Today, my boyfriend of two years sent me a text message saying, "Don't worry I'm gonna break up with her soon. Love you." FML
Today, my girlfriend's dad returned home from deployment. Being the grade A fucktard that I am, I got flustered and asked, "So um, did you make it back?" He looked me dead in the eyes and said completely deadpan, "No, obviously I died. Moron." FML
Today, I told my boyfriend that I love him. He replied by telling me to fuck off. FML
Today, my boyfriend called and asked me why I love him. I told him because he's always there for me and continues to put up with my bipolar disorder. He promptly said "not anymore" and hung up. FML

Today, my boyfriend graduated from boot camp. After the ceremony, I rushed over and tried to jump into his arms. This would have been romantic if he was expecting it. Instead, he fell over and we crashed onto the floor in front of everyone. FML
Today, my boyfriend wanted to tell me how much he loves me. He said a lot of wonderful things, such as not being able to live without me and hoping that I would want to live with him and marry him someday. He ended his loving speech with his ex-girlfriend's name instead of mine. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me love is like a drug. I started tearing up because this is the most romantic he has been in a while. He then went on to break up with me, telling me that my "prescription is up". FML

I can understand why she'd be devastated. But, honestly, that's a ridiculous question to ask. If you honestly have to ask that type of question, be prepared for heartbreak, because you're not going to last. Have some trust in your relationship and support his decision. Don't make his leaving for basic training about you. Asking a question like that shows him that all you care about is whether or not he'll still care for you. It's not about you. It's about him. Stop being so selfish.

Sounds like a typical female to say something she doesn't mean to get a man to say something he doesn't mean..... YDI

YDI for being manipulative and immature, and for dating a jerk. FYL- sounds like you guys deserved each other.

Joining the military has probably been his dream for most of his life. Hooking up with you until death do ye part has probably not been on his mind that long, if at all. He's about to embark on a major life-changing event. He doesn't know what he's facing, how he'll handle it, nor how he will be if he succeeds. It was a self-centered question to ask him and his answer was probably about as honest as it could get.

Shit does happen. My husband it at boot camp right now. I had the same worry as you, but he was nice about it. He did the whole, "romance movie" thing. But we're married so it doesn't count. But unfortunately for you, you are a girlfriend and not a wife. And to the military, girlfriends are disposable. And even more bad news for you, once he graduates you still won't see him a lot(if at all) until after A-school because you are a girlfriend. Even then he could be stationed somewhere else away from you. If you were his wife you could move with him. Sorry. Shit happens.

I agree! I definitely know what it feels like! I have been with my boyf for a while and they have a really different attitude to us. These boys are surrounded by mates who can be bad influences and do things (like travel everywhere) that make it difficult to keep up with them if they aren't married. The guys in there who have wives are loving and are faithful to their wives, but as saint_faith89 said, girlfriends aren't a high priority. You have to realise they go through so much that they realise, today you are with someone and tomorrow you aren't. You can't base your whole life around someone!! If it's meant to be, it will be!

Honestly, I don't see how this counts as fishing for compliments. It makes perfect sense to be concerned that distance will affect your relationship with someone, and to voice that concern. It could've been worded a little differently, but I don't think the OP was looking for 'OMG SAY YOU LOVE ME'. She probably just wanted him to say 'we can write/text/it'll be okay'. And even if she was fishing for a compliment, if it's someone you're dating/emotionally invested in, you should care enough not to be an outright ass to them for such a small thing.

YDI for making a scene and presuming he would automatically be different.

Can I also ask, what would you have expected in the situation? Because the fact that he's going away would not change and I'm pretty sure whatever he would've said would have probably not been good enough! Even if he said I love and will try and keep in contact, I'm sure you would have found something wrong in that! It's easier to be angry at someone when they are leaving then to be happy they are gone! Just a thought!

dump him. he doesn't deserve you. BT is tough enough for you without a guy who's in it, and just not willing to tough it out himself.
