My Marine friend has a girlfriend. Should I still write to him and offer my support?

Manderz

Sure keep writing him. Depending on how well you and his girlfriend get along, you should ask the girlfriend first. Some girls may be offended by this. But it is always great to support your Marine as best as you can.

Yes, write as often as you can to offer your support. Just make sure that your intentions are honorable. Do not secretly tell him that you wish he didn't have a girlfriend. This will confuse him and may distract him from the mission at hand and in some cases, could risk his life. I'm a soldier in the Army and I can tell you that every piece of mail we receive is a bright spot on the day. I love hearing from friends and family, especially on a deployment.

Yes, you should. Even if he has a girlfriend you are still his friend and he will enjoy hearing from you.

why not unless your looking to seduce him whats wrong with a letter of friendship don't go overboard

Definately! The more letters and care packages the better. And you might even consider offering your hand in friendship to the girlfriend. You both will be missing him, although somewhat differently. Both, there may be some strength that you can get from each other to get through this. If nothing else, you can compare notes and take turns sending him things.

Yes. Our troops need all the support from us they can get! I am sure he would more then appreciate letters from you, and his girlfriend will appreciate your sending them too!

Since i am not sure if you are a woman or a man i will give you advise as if you were a woman.

As long as your intention is friendship and only friendship and you keep it on the level I am sure he would appreciate that. If your intentions are to get between him and his girlfriend it is best you don't write. He doesn't need confusion during this stressful time. He needs support from anywhere he can get but it should be the right type.

If you know the girlfriend it may be best to ask her if it is okay with her. The last thing I am sure you want to do is cause a rift somehow between the two of them.

If you aren't a girl then why not. I am sure he would love all the letters possible.

Yes.

You can still be a friend.

I'm certain anyone who finds themselves in direct military conflict could use every bit of support from friends 'back home'.

The normality will help keep them aware and help with their sense of self.

Martin

I'm sure he will welcome all the support and letters of encouragement he can get.

It's probably better to ask the girlfriend that question.

Keep writing girl!! The letters you send are his Christmas gifts!! Their his only motovation and contact with the outside world. Send pictures of your guys. Jokes, cards, articles. ANYTHING to make him smile. He will thank you after graduation for your constant support.
