needing support.

hi.

im 23f, gf of an almost marine. we have been together since we were 16, on and off because we were so young, of course.

he’s already enlisted and his date has moved up. with the war going on im sick over this. he’ll do bootcamp, training- and then what? get deployed to die in iran?

im terrified.

i can’t sleep, i can’t eat, i can’t breathe, all ive done is cry. he wants to be a guard, but will he even get to do that if the war is still going on?

all ive been trying to do is prepare for his death- to preface, but please do not equate my feelings to my diagnosis- i have ocd, so all of this is a constant battle.

how do all of you strong and wonderful women do this? i literally cannot function.

he wants to do 20 years too! we won’t ever see eachother, we’ll barley be able to talk- i just don’t know if i can adjust to this and be comfortable with worrying for every second of everyday until he makes it to the finish line.

ill take any advice anyone has- and if you think he’s going to be deployed to iran or if that’s what genuinely is happening to a lot of people, please warn me- i try to stay in the international news like canada. (im pro-human rights, but do lean left due to the awful administration and the lies we’re all fed.)

thank you in advance. 🩷
