You don’t say how old your boyfriend is. I would guess between 18 and 20.

Joining the Marines was a major undertaking. It was an event that is destined to change how he looks at things. It is also a situation that will help him gain maturity.

Right now, while he is in training, he is trying to absorb this new world that he has entered. It may make him seem distant but it will get back to normal after he completes his training.

The best thing you can do is to support him. When talking on the phone or in letters, be positive and upbeat. Try not to burden him with any problems that you may have that he can’t do anything about because that would just depress him.

Things will get better as time goes by.
