So a lot of you have been following the tests and trials of my relationship with my Marine. I'm sad to say that we broke up two weeks ago. I love him more than anything in the world and my hope is that we have a shot again soon. This is the second time we have broken up this year, due to the stress of the Marines and due to the fact that he doesn't have enough time home. So here's my advice to all of you fine ladies who are reading this today, tomorrow, or whenever you do...
I was talking to a Marine fiance today. She told me I was strong. By her saying that, I wanted to say no I'm not because I'm hurting. I'm breaking down and I am falling apart. But instead this is what I told her:
"Strength is determined by the effort an individual is willing to put into a specific passion and their ability to overcome obstacles. You do that every day by being with a Marine. You may not see it but it is the easiest thing in the world to give up on but you have chosen not to. You are stronger than you think, you are braver than you believe, and your inner strength continues to build as you take on the battles the Marine Corps throws at you."
This goes out to all military girlfriends, fiances, and wives. No matter what the situation is, no matter how bad it seems, you just need to have faith and hope. It will get you through anything. I don't know how many of you actually have thought about this, but the last time you went through something difficult you probably thought things would never get better...am I right? Guess what? This is the same thing, once you are past it you will laugh about it, cry about it, and smile about it. It will teach you something new. I'm just like all of you in every way. I have my hopes, my dreams, and the fear that this won't get better. But you know what I've decided? I'm going to make it better with time. Last time he and I broke up, I thought we wouldn't ever get back together. He's saying the same things he did last time. I realize that time, time is what will heal both of us and empower us to make it work again. I love him and I will remain faithful until we can work things out or until we go our separate ways for good.
Don't give up hope ladies. Love is worth the fight and the wait. It's the easiest thing in the world to give up on, the hardest thing to keep, and the worst thing to lose. So fight, don't give up.
If you need anything please email me. I will respond as quickly as possible. Believe me, you aren't the first to do so and you won't be the last. Keep your heads up and Semper Fi!

Hi. I came across your blog when I googled "How do I keep my relationship with my marine strong?" and let me tell you, your entry made me realize that I should just keep faith and be strong. I've been wanting to give up lately because we're going through a hard time. He just recently went to California for training and it's hard being on the other side of the country and not being able to see him & talk to him as much. Thank you for making me hope everything will get better. Thank you for giving me hope.
ReplyDeleteI hope everything works out between you and your significant other :) Good luck.
Thank you, I need all of the luck I can get right now! I'm glad that it inspired you to keep going and to not give up. That is my hope for all of the military girlfriends who are struggling right now. Keep your head up and I wish you the best.
