I guess to some extent, you get used to being alone. You get used to not expecting phone calls & having nothing to do at night. You don’t expect to turn around to open arms any longer. All in all, being alone isn’t terrible, it just hurts like hell, But that moment you see him again, will make all that worth it. So Ill take being alone, for as long as it takes, as long as being alone leads me to you. ♥
it’s become routine.
I vow, no matter what challenges might carry us apart, we will always find a way back to each other.
Patience is key in any relationship though and that always tends to be the hardest for everyone. I know it is hard not to think about. If you can, I would just talk to him about it once more before he leaves and just see what happens. That is what I would do if I were you.
I hope this is helping. :)

patience, patience, patience!! You HAVE to wait all.the.time. with military relationships. You will never know exactly when hes coming home and when you are going to get to see him. I guarantee dates will be changed a million times before the day of. So you will need to get used to waiting!
that aside, its never good to be in a relationship because you NEED someone else. You should be two complete people on your own. Your s/o should not be your “other half” but rather accentuate who you are…but that is just my opinion. Rushing into being married isn’t going to guarantee you will be together forever. Hard work and dedication and PATIENCE will keep you together. Rings or no rings!

I hate to say this, but A LOT of guys who are about to leave for boot question their relationships. My boyfriend questioned our relationship a lot before he left for boot camp. Maybe he just wants to be sure that you are ready for that kind of commitment and can prepare while he is stationed somewhere. Or maybe he is saving up for a ring…
I know men are confusing and I wish I could give you all of the answers, but I can’t. All I can say is that, if you know that you two are meant to be, then timing should not worry you. Hey, at least he is talking marriage and not ignoring the subject.

I was responding at the same time as Kali, so I’m going to add my two-cents in here as well :)
Guys see marriage differently than women. Women think “why wait?” and (most) men think “why rush?”. He is probably just content with where things are. He might also be nervous about the commitment even though he knows he wants to spend forever with you, its an idea that he will need to get used to. He could also be taking money in to account. When he gets back he should have a good chunk of change saved to buy you a beautiful ring! If he wants to marry you, chances are he wants to do it right. I don’t know your guy personally, so I could be wrong, but maybe he just wants to do things by the book. Such as ask your Dad permission and plan the perfect way to propose. Have faith in him! I can understand wanting to be engaged, it makes things feel more permanent and it reassures you on those long, long nights you don’t get to talk to him…but just remember, if you guys are meant to be together forever, waiting a few months is nothing!
