Fiance just shipped out to boot
My fiance just shipped out to Parris Island today. Left the airport with his family, all decidely depressed and still crying... Myself? I've been wandering around my empty house unsure of what to do with myself. It feels and sounds pretty pathetic but there you have it.
It seems like everything reminds me of him and I just want to break down and cry when it happens. Maybe it's because it's the first day and the wound is still fresh, so to speak. But I need to talk to someone about it. If for no other reason than to get it off my chest to people I know will understand...
I was wondering what good ways to cope with his absence would be. I know that they get 1 hour a day to write but... I don't know how to make the transition from seeing each other every day to writing back and forth every other day. I intend to write him even when I don't get a letter. He actually wants me to do so, which I was happy to find didn't seem overly obsessive...
But this is a question to those of you that have been, are in or will be in the same situation as me... How did you do it? What do you plan to do? Do things even sort of transition back to how they used to be once bootcamp is over? I'm so terrified he'll come back and either a) not be the person he was when he left or b) change his mind about me.
I know I can wait. 3 months ultimately isn't that long. But I also know he's in a lifechanging period of time... I just want to know what I could or SHOULD do?
