Is it okay to let my boyfriend know I miss him at boot camp?

It is absolutely ok to tell him how much you miss him, and I promise it won't make things worse. Honestly, he is going to be very homesick anyway, and writing him letters telling him how much you miss him will help him remember what he has to look foward to when he graduates. I think it is wonderful you have wrote so many letters so far, keep it up :)

No, they should make him feel loved and special

best thing you can do for him is what you are doing.

I was in Naval Boot Camp and really looked forward to mail from my girlfriend. Stop being so insecure about it and do what you feel.

It's okay to let him know that you miss him but remember he is extremely busy. He has only been gone 3 days give yourself some time to calm down. It's okay to write him but don't overwhelm him with letters. Receiving an excess of mail will get him harassed. It's the honest truth. You also have to know that his boot camp may be longer than 13 weeks if he fails or gets put back.
Being with a Marine means constant separation for long periods of time. If you feel you won't be able to handle that you should really think things through. I don't mean to be harsh but i have seen too many wives divorce their Marine because he is gone all the time. Understand what comes with being with somebody in the military.

I think it is good for him to know that you miss him and care for him. If you stop saying that then he'll think something is up. Just keep on being supportive of him. Both of my bros are in the army and the appreciated any letters and knowing that everyone still cared for them and didn't forget about them.

Yes, let him know that you miss him. Your support will mean the world to him. :)

eric johnson

more more he'll love it, and add some nice sachet powder n the envelope

make what worse? the way you feel? the way he may feel reading that? etc...? I think that if you bottle that up it will make you feel worse eventually, and i don't think that it would make him feel worse (this, ofcourse, not knowing how he responds to emotional things) I would think that most people would like to know that they are missed, it gives them something to look forward to, knowing that when they get back someone will be really glad to see them.

Yes and no. It will make him miss you more but it is exactly what you are doing that will motivate him to work hard and succeed. Just make sure you are offering you're encouragement and telling him how proud you are of him, and be careful not to run out of stamps.

Not at all darling. Keep sending him letters. He needs your support more then ever right now. Send letters but no pictures or food (cookies) because everyone will see that or eat those. I remember the letters from my girlfriend (now wife of 9 years) were the most prized items I had.

poor girl.. it will be ok. I would send him the letters, but for him, don't put stuff on the outside of the envelopes, for other to see. They will make fun of him sooo bad. My son is graduating from the marines next week, and it's been hard to have him away from home. It will be hard, but he probably needs to know in your letters that you are going to be there when he comes home. I think my sons gf will not be there for him, as she is a little... well.. you know. You can go to a site to keep track of what he is doing every week while there, and there are message boards also with others that have boyfriends/sons in the same boot camp as your bf. it's : www.marineparents.com Hope this helps!

no, he probably will love you just more

britt

It can but it depends on the guy. I would think he would like to know how much he is missed.

Keep telling him those things. I'm sure if he doesn't hear those things from you, he may think that you don't care he is gone and have moved on....however, I would try not to go on and on about how hard it is on YOU with him being gone (even though I know it is) because he may just start worrying about you and it will just put more stress on him. He is lucky to have a girlfriend that cares about him so much...

WRITE OFTEN!!! say how much you miss him but also keep his hopes up with all the cool stuff y'all are going to do when he gets home. At PI, all you do is think about what you're going to do for that 10 day leave. So give him something to want to come home to. They won't let you send cookies (junk food), but see if his Senior Drill Instructor will let them get powerbars (enough for the whole platoon (60-70 guys)), and if the SDI allows it, send them.

It's okay to say you miss him, but don't over-do it :) When my husband was in boot camp (we weren't married at the time) he loved that I sent him interesting tidbits about what was headlining the papers. None of the other guys had any access to that information and were pretty interested when he shared. And even if the other guys make fun of them, it made my husband feel good about having someone who actually cared! My husband works at SOI near Camp LeJeune if he gets stationed over here we can extend a night of home cooked dinner :)

starry answers!!! ask me!

Of course not, you boyfriend will get how much you love him, but don't say it too much or your boyfriend will think you are very annoying. If saying a little bit, your boyfriend might think that you don't want him to be your boyfriend.

klt

Not at all. Send at least 5 letters a day. Don't stop. But if you send cookies, send enough for everyone!!!!
