Leaving for the army.

[myapocalypse]

I have a girlfriend of a year and 10 months. I love her with all of my heart and want to spend the rest of my life with her. I am 17 (18 in may) she is 15 (16 in may). We plan on staying together for the rest of our lives and i am really happy about that. BUT, there is one issue.... I'm leaving for basic training for the Army on July 12th. Ill be going to georgia, and all of my training will take AT LEAST 3.5 months. She said she will stay with me through the time im in the military, even if i make it career ( i might). But im scared that over basic, or when i get to my first duty station things will get bad and she will start regretting being with me and eventually leave me. I want to make the make the best of the time i have left here, but we have been fighting lately over stupid little things and i think it because of the stress from the army and everything else.
Im just really worried about loosing her because i cannot imagine my life without her in it. She is my one and only true love.

Any help would be really nice. Loosing her scares me more then anything. :(

If she really loves you, you will be the only person that she cares about. You shouldn't have to worry about her being in love with someone else, or losing interest in you while you are away. You said that you guys are going to keep in touch with each other so that should be enough.

Even if things do go for the worse, it's not the end of the world. It just wasn't meant to be. But I'm pretty sure that if you guys have been together for 2 years, I doubt she would do that to you.

If you're really the one that she wants to be with, then I believe that she will want to stay with you even while you're gone. I know a lot of girls who are dating/married to guys in the service, and a lot of their relationships have worked out just fine. Just let her know that she's very much loved while you're gone, I know that you can write letters while at basic. The only relationships that I've seen fail due to one being in the military is because of a loss in communication, which can really pull people apart when they aren't being reminded that they're loved. My sister's boyfriend is currently in the military, and they're always talking on the phone and IMing in their free time, and writing occasionally as well, and they're making it work out just fine :)
