Is it bad that I'm afraid to fall for a Marine?

Everyone is different, it is perfectly normal though to be afraid of this. If thats the case then just don’t go out with a marine, This is not selfish at all this is preserving you heart from aching.

But if he is something you know you could never live without now that you’ve gotten to know him so well, would it be worth the loss?

Your worries are normal. But you have to know that death keeps an equal distance from everyone. No one is more likely to die than anyone else.

No, It seems quite normal. But you can’t help who you fall for. I fell for someone who is far away from me. I would love to have someone close but that’s just not how it works. :) Just go with the flow.

I fell for an army boy. and ive accepted he might get killed. we sat down and came up with a plan for if the unthinkable happened and just make sure your heart is always guarded from some catastrophe like that happening, being a military spouse is one of the hardest things to be in the world, which is why the divorce rate is so high, but if you think your strong enough to go a year without him ( i spent the better part of our first year of marriage alone) then go for it. theres lots of excellent benefits (at least for now) that go along with being in the military.

I’m not one for guarding my heart. I don’t prepare myself for the worst I focus on the best. So the idea of having to prepare my heart with the possibility of falling for this guy, marrying him, and being no longer a military brat, but a military wife and the loss… I just don’t know. But I feel like if I fall in love with him and the situation happens that way without losing him, I will be the happiest girl alive. Finally finding a guy that treats me with respect and gentleness. Maybe the truth is I already do love him and cannot bring myself to admit it because thats when theres no escape. I sound childish I know.

Marriage is alot to weigh in and of itself, much less what sorrounds the military demands of one….not childish at all, to have reservations and questions.

To answer this question, it would be worth the loss because he’s dying for you, myself and everyone else in this country helping keep it free. When they do die from being KIA (killed in action) you would feel sad and maybe a little depressed but you will also feel more a sense of being proud of him for everything he has done. My husband is in the Marines as well. We have been together long before he joined but when we first met he said this is my plan in life. At first I was terrified of the thought of losing him to war but now I’ve realized he is the best thing that has happened to me and I don’t want to lose him but at some point in life we all pass away. It depends on when God calls upon us. And so be it if he dies I know its because he was doing something he loved most.

I am an army wife. And yes it is hard to sit and wait everyday for that call while he is deployed. But when they come home it was worth the stress in the end. Any moment in anyones life can cause death. And as someone said the divorce is high for military. It is a hard lifestyle. My husband came home with ptsd and a ball full of issues. It was hard at 1st to deal with the “new husband” but as time goes by he is starting to be his old self again. Remember everything is about what is in your heart. If you don’t take a chance it can be a what if moment for the rest of your life.
