5 Things You Should Know BEFORE Dating Someone In The Military PART 2

[@susalkasarahi]

I just wanna add that you are never ready for the military life but you must be WILLING to go thru the struggle and hardships because you love that person

[@BritCon2]

Susalka Luczek Yes! Sometimes I think stuff in my head but forget to say it! 😄 Totally agree! Thanks for the input!

[@claudiaescobedo3159]

I have a friend request from a military man he will be back in two months he want so fast with plans to be married and buy a house and I got scared I cut all source of communication but I keep thinking about him, I feel like I miss the guy that I haven't seen in my life. I really want to know him but I don't know how to connect with him.

My partner is at AIT (has their phone) and said they don’t want to talk for almost the full 7 months. Is this normal? Or a red flag.

Last advice..... DO. NOT CHEAT

[@ArtemisKost]

What I found the hardest was the fear of my partner never returning home. It takes time to learn how to support them when they could be going to their death but you need to do it. Remember that your husband/ wife is already worried and probably scared when going to fight and you must give them courage, strength. Share your thoughts but don't make them feel worse or choose between you and serving their country.

i just started dating a military guy and im going through so much. im up all night crying sometimes

[@jozelynmoreno1279]

Ive known my boyfriend since high school, after we graduated we spent around 2 years without talking and he joined the navy during that time. We eventually started talking again and when he asked me to be his girlfriend I didn’t think it was going to be that hard being with somebody in the military. I’ve gotten through a few underways and a deployment is coming up...like you have said before, it is difficult and we do get lonely. Being in a long distance relationship and having him in the military has been the hardest thing in my life but I wouldn’t change it for the world, I love him so much and I pray for his safety every night. Thank you Britt and Con for motivating me and making me smile with every video that you make. ♥️

[@savdeb7973]

Your first video got me through my SO’s deployment training. I didn’t see him for 26 days and didn’t talk to him for 18 days... but these points and the advice was super helpful. Thank you for all that you do and your husbands service :) ❤️

[@christinamcgriff9257]

Thank you for these videos. As a military girlfriend, it can be hard especially since he’s in a different state. but your videos are encouraging.

[@Myadanxelle]

I love this video Brit, you are amazing! My sweet boy is in bootcamp right now and I miss him like crazy and these videos help so much. I just want to add to the "get a degree" portion. I think more importantly is to still "follow your dreams" even while being away from your partner. That doesn't always mean a degree but definitely still follow your own dreams, aspirations, and goals when things seem incredibly hard! ❤️

[@Alexis-pq4zf]

Thank you for your advice!! I’m so brand new to this. We have known each other for 6 years as good friends and started something on the 10 day leave after boot camp and now he is gone for 9 months. Left this morning and I’ve been up late looking for encouragement and advice! thanks!!

[@Bianca-dh8iv]

I love your advice on loneliness, I'm still learning to cope with it especially being so far away from my boyfriend.

[@Camille-td8xr]

Such great advice. I totally agree with you, we are never ready for a military relationship. But I learn and grow everyday, it is a journey!

[@reneebreckler4015]

My husband is in basic training I miss him all the time

[@Aschebeauty]

I am not married to someone in the military but I have met someone in it and we like each other very much we aren't dating yet but only bc he is still getting to know me & same for me bc it's a big deal dating someone in the military I've never done this before so it's a learning process but after talking for a few months I finally saw him and it's so amazing then just videocalling and calling and I only saw him for 4 days and then he had to leave he's coming back at the end of the month but I feel so sad I have never felt like this with anyone and experience this sadness that I may have to deal with for awhile even if we date thank you for this video I know I am not married but I wanted advice on how to deal with the sadness bc he's my baby & I'm his baby girl and I miss him so thank you

[@denig2000able]

How are things going? I am where you were 11 months ago. Very sweet guy and when he was in touch said he cant wait to spend quality time together. I am learning alot from Brittany's videos. Thanks Brittany.

[@lightoooo13]

any updates?

[@bpkdhillon]

I’ve been dating my Marine for 6 months now and I’m going to be the one to leave first, for medical school. We’re setting up for a long distance relationship for 2-4 years (at least). It’s hard because it’s my first relationship and the uncertainty is difficult for someone like me, who plans everything out, to deal with. He may also be getting deployed soon, and I’m worried about missing him too hard because we talk every day. But in the end, I know I love him and it’s worth dealing with these hardships to be with him.

[@victoriapickett567]

My boyfriend leaves in 31 days for Navy Boot Camp, and your videos really help me cope. It's nice to learn things about the military and things like that, it's soothing for me to learn new things :) I love watching all of your videos!

How’d it go 🥺 mine left for bootcamp last night and I genuinely love him. I’m willing to stay with him because he’s just so special to me and I do see a future with him. Any advice 🥺?

[@paytonmonzon8853]

Hello! I just came across your video in search for advice for military lifestyle. Right now, my boyfriend of two years and I are currently in transition for him to join the Marines. This has been the most terrifying thing for me. I honestly don’t know what to expect or even think sometimes. He is a worship pastor and we are both involved in ministry. I have finally gotten to the point of where I feel prepared to do ministry, but now I feel like God is throwing a whole different type of curve ball my way. I guess what I am trying to say is thank you. I know that I am to support, love and encourage him through this entire experience. I am just so scared, but I love this ministry you are doing through KZbin! I feel as though this is a gift and opportunity rather than a punishment. God has a reason and purpose for what He calls us to do; we are simply called to obey and love Him through it all. My prayer request is that God will continuously put peace and encouragement in my path as we take on this new part in our lives!

Thank you so much for this video (and part 1). I don't have a boyfriend going into the military, but my best friend is going into the Marines and I'm spazzing out a little. I know I won't be okay when he leaves, but I'm so proud of just being able to watch him grow into the amazing young man he's become/becoming. He's also taken an interest in reading the Bible, and when he first told me that last week, i was super happy that the Lord is working in my best friend, even if it's slowly but surely. Thank you so much again for this video, your advice is super helpful and I will use what i can in my friendship to support my friend. God bless you and your husband, i will be praying for you both! ❤

I started date a military guy and we are already so inlove, I love him with all my heart and I know he does too, he textme and call me every day but not for many hours, I am ok with that. Right now he is in a training for 6 weeks in california without any communication and that is killing me. I have 3 kids from my previous marriage (by the way I am older that him) and even been happy and doing all my job at home is so hard, I am constantly crying missing him so much. When he comes back, he will stay and then leave for 9 months to Korea. I don’t know How I will handle that if this one is already killing me and make me depressed. At this point I can’t see my self without him and neither him, we have talk about getting married but we want to wait until his contract end in 3 years 😢 I am christian too, I have pray a lot but still I feel so sad!

[@thereaderbug398]

This was a really good video. It will be interesting if you choose to continue to do these every few years (I don't know how long you guys plan to stay in the military) to see how your perspective changes or if it changes. I mean, life in general continues to move so thoughts are always changing, military or not, but things definitely go to a different level when you have kids and the way the military impacts you as a family and a mother. Now that my kids are older, my views have changed dramatically from when they were babies to toddlers to smaller kids and now teens. Some things are just rough and doing some things alone at this point has taken on such a heavy burden that I wasn't prepared for. But I think you are right about not being able to be ready for something until it happens. That's where I am at right now. My husband has been in the Navy for 15 years now and I am still dealing with new curve balls that are getting thrown my way. It's always changing and challenging.

[@chaidannah7255]

[@sagem4512]

Thanks for this video... I do feel quite lonely. My SO and I got into an argument yesterday because he hasn't been there for me while I'm grieving a loss in my family because he feels distant while deployed. He wants to take a couple days without communicating with me. I'm not the top priority right now and that hurts...

Thanks guys. It's gotten a lot better, we are much closer and stronger now. I think we are the strongest we have ever been.

My boyfriend is a year older than me and going into the marines. He'll be a senior in high school this year, I'll be a junior. He leaves for bootcamp a year from now, so I'm going to have to do my senior year alone. Im an artist and I plan on going to art school, hopefully RISD. How do we make it work where I'll be in college and he'll be doing whatever it is they do? What is the time frame for marines? Like bootcamp, 10 day break, then what ? Specialized training or straight into their 4 years active duty? And is the specialized training part of the 4 years or is it prior? I just want to know how its gonna work to be with him once I'm done school. If he's actively deployed, can I meet him wherever he is or do we have to initially go together? When should we get married to avoid any bumps in the road regarding timeframe? Can I even go with him if we're not married?

[@lauraklabe2259]

@Toulouse Berlioz thank you so much for your reply. I know full well the likelihood of these sorts of relationships not working out, and I'm not disregarding that, but I also dont want to set myself up for failure by expecting it to not work.

[@lauraklabe2259]

@Toulouse Berlioz thank you so much

[@nicolediamond391]

@Laura Klabe, I am currently in a Marine relationship rn. Once he’s done with his 10 day boot leave, he will be going into the School or Infantry (SOI), and will be put into either Infantry Training Batallion or Marine Combat Training depending on his MOS. If his MOS is Infantry he’ll be spending 59 days in ITB, if not he’ll be spending 29 days in MCT. Once that is done, he will go to his MOS school wherever that is for however long. Then it depends on whether he’s Active or Reservists.

[@lauraklabe2259]

@@nicolediamond391 okay thank you, and where does marriage and living together fall into that? In 5 years I'll be done college. Will he be actively deployed then? Can I join him during his tour or do I have to wait for him to come home? At what point will I get more communication than just letters?

I really care about him and think we can make it work but because of the distance and the worry of deployments I’m just nervous about it.

Like career goals? My plan was to go to the military before I even knew my boyfriend & now that we are together, we’ve discussed that if I did join while we were together that it would be very hard especially because I know he wants a family so we both agreed that I would not join. I still have other goals but I guess I’m kinda needing reassurance that this is a great idea still. Lol

Its about a month into deployment and its so hard having him gone. Trying not to be a brat but i miss him and need him.and i told him that. I feel like its been nothing but small talk lately nothing deep. Its getting very frustrating. Trying to be understanding but its so hard. Any advice on not giving him a hard time even tho im feeling he is being distant?

[@cathysdilemma1872]

QUESTION: how do you get your SO to be more open in conversation and responsive when it comes to talking about his feelings?

[@BritCon2]

It definitely takes time, especially if they haven't ever done it, but slowly creating a more open and judgement free environment helps to start off with. Many people, particularly men, don't like sharing feelings out of fear of judgement. Once they can feel safe and conversation can start to deepen. If they have a lot of baggage in their hearts though, it can take quite a bit of time, so patience is important.

[@beccadalgleish9143]

How do u deal with not know if he is ok when he is deployed

[@BritCon2]

For me, I have to just trust and pray that the Lord is taking care of him. If I worry that just puts unnecessary anxiety on my heart. I have no control over his safety, only God does. So I continue to pray. These are two great verses for deployment! "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:9 )"We put our hope in the Lord. He is our help and our shield. In Him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in His holy name. Let Your unfailing love surround us, Lord, for our hope is in You alone." (Psalm 33:20-22)

This isn’t my first time being I am in a relationship with a military man. But I have a question. Are there any support groups for people who are girlfriends/boyfriends to somebody in the military? My boyfriend is on deployment and won’t be back until April. Feeling kind of lonely without him.

[@abbeygalelaura722]

hey @Brit+Con I've just started seeing someone who is the British Army and I feel like there is no one I could relate to as all my friends don't know what it is like. That was until I found your channel. I feel so much better now that there is other people in the same situation as I am or that have been in that situation. Would it be okay to have your email.

[@poppyrandall5577]

alfie_and_ abbey hey I’m in the same boat and there’s like no vids from girls who’s partner is in the British military!!

[@abbeygalelaura722]

Poppy Randall I know it's crazy

[@sharmainmonte5096]

how’s your experience having a british army? do you sometimes exp. not hearing anything from him? like it sucks coz’you don’t know what’s happening already.lol.but all you need to do is wait for him to reach out..

Thank you so much

Hi! So I have a question.. My boyfriend and I are planning to get married soon when he comes back. Once married is it possible that I will be able to move in with him where he gets stationed as soon as possible? Or will it take a couple of months do that to happen? Should we live on base or off base? What should I expect once I move with him? Also I want to start college I took a year off but I want to go this fall is it possible that I can do college where ever he gets stationed? And if he gets stationed somewhere else I can change schools and still stay on track with college?

[@AndreaPerez-ci2et]

Gailineee Mejia You can move in with him that same moment. Also they will need your marriage license. As to living on base or off or all depends on you guys. Some people hate the on base military housing. It just all depends where he gets stationed at. For example my husband and I are planning to live in on base military housing when he comes back from deployment because we have heard great things about that base. You also have to consider if they have open spots on base. As for school it all depends on the college. You can transfer schools but not all of your credit may go through I know this from a personal experience. Hope this helped.

[@heidyreatiga874]

Because you two are not married yet, it is not guaranteed that he is going to be stationed in the States (college :$ ?) ... If he was to be married before assigning him to his command he would have to stay in the states for his first contract. Do you happen to know what his MOS is? aka rate?/ job?

[@pouringwithrobyn4365]

I'm in a 2 months relationship with a military man but we haven't meet I'm so nervous and scared I'm Australian he's American .
