Sorry, man, but I think the time and distance are taking their toll on your girl. You are not there, she misses you, and eventually will find ways to overcome this longing.

I'm not saying she's cheating, just that not all girls can handle a relationship with a Marine.

I'll search, while you Cool wait.

Well Jarhead, it appears that she has met someone else in college.  Don't waste time mending the relationship.  Imagine if you were to marry her and go on an overseas tour of duty without her.  If you are having problems now, just guess what would happen then?  You've dated a very long time, and it will hurt you to move on.  So I suggest that in the days to come, if she fails to provide your ear with sweet nothings, then please give up on the relationship.  As we say in the Army...suck it up and drive on..and as you all say in the Marines...Semper Fi do or die.  But I say don't die, just endure and learn from this experience.

if you love her, let her go because she feels way too distant from you. she probably still loves you, but doesnt know how to do long-distant. try and be friends though.

Live simply, love generously and  care deeply.

 

Hi,

     The fact that you are away on military assignment and she is in college would really make a difference  in your perception about her not being sweet anymore.  I don't think you should jump to conclusions right away.  Perhaps she is very busy in school and she wants to concentrate in her studies or possibly she met someone else.  You are not sure until you 'll ask her and hear it from her.  So don't stress out right away.

    If in fact she changed her mind about your relationship, so be it.  Young people change their minds so easily especially in long distance relationships.  You both are young and should enjoy life without being too serious about long term relationships.  You are young only once.  You both need emotional and mental maturity before committing to anyone.

always think positive!! my favorite quote to you would be ...... embrace the good and expect the worst.. thats life and it can be cruel at times. a long distance relationship is hard on anyone who really cares. but be real to yourself. if you were away at college and not training for the core and she were the one mandatorily away from civilization wouldn't you venture out and meet people. i'm sure there is plenty of guys telling all the reasons why she should move on believe me i myself have been there being married to a sailor and believe me i fell for every line fed to me until he showed me other wise.. now those tall tales by guys about my sailor dont mean shit becuase now i know how things really operate.time heals all wounds.. dont be scared to ask her straight out put your mind at ease!!

Well, I would tell you that she is probably not use to having you around. I use to travel allot with my job. I mean allot, I was only home on weekends and really only Saturday. I noticed the longer I was on the road the more distant she seemed. The reason was simple it wasn't that she didn't love me anymore it was life went on. She was having to make decisions with out me. I actually resigned from that job just because she was more important. My advise to you is to find out if there is a spark left to kindle. If there is do whatever you have to do in order to save the relationship, if there isn't a spark left, keeper as a friend and move on. Either way you need to sit her down and open up. You need the truth, regardless of how much the truth may hurt.
