As a member of the Armed Forces, I know that there are few words in this world that are able to sufficiently console the fears that you, and so many others now face in this time of war. To even begin thinking of what to say, causes a welling up of emotions in me so great that my heart begins to ache and the screen to blur with my tears- the quiet suffering which you at home go through for us strikes the very depths of my soul and I stand in awe of your ability to cope with it. Those of you at home truly have the love and admiriation of your sons and daughters, who through your strength find the courage to stand together in this time of need to defend you and the ideals we stand for.
I may not be able to fully remove your fears for him, but I hope you may take comfort in remembering that he is not alone- he is surrounded by his friends,his allies, and every member of the Armed Forces who will do their utmost best to ensure that no harm comes to him.
I would like to personally thank you for the pain that you have gone through. I know your ex does too. The love and support that we get from all of you at home helps us to grit our teeth and bear the burdens set before us, and to remind us of what it truly is we're fighting for. .
I pray for his safe and speedy return, and for your strength and courage to never fail
Yours Sincerely
Airman 1st Class Timothy Detchon

Who says you have to stop caring?
I don't know who usually give a rats behind what happens to an EX but it's understandable that someone you know going to a war zone is frightening!
But there's absolutely NOTHING you can do about it.
Pray.
If you're not the type to pray then all you can do is find something constructive to occupy your time. But this is out of your control. Keep living your life.

An ex is an ex....! He became an ex to you because he or you did not love or like each other any more!!! He left you because he can manage himself in this world and hence just believe that everything and everybody will be ok whether he /she is in the warfront or elsewhere!!!
If still woriied, strike the ex out of him and re-invite!! Ha! Ha!

It all depends on how you are listed on his military support. If you and him have children then you will be notified.
I pray that you never have the knock on the door from an Officer and Chaplain. I have been through that as my sons are in the service and although both are alive, one has been discharged for injuries received in combat.

Looks like you ain't ex yet or you'd wish something terrible happened to him. Pls keep praying for him to get back home in one piece, alive and let him know you ain't ex yet, then become a real ex or get back with him.

Stop caring about him as your EX and worry about him as you would any other soldier in a worzone. They got enough to worry about to have their families and friends worrying about them. If you talk to him, don't tell him that you are worried, just have a normal conversation and wish him luck.

Its sweet to care about your ex ,send a message and ask him to keep in touch like that you will know that he is doing well.Don't feel guilty or stupid because you care about him ,it's normal ,i mean you loved him in the past and the past is what builds our future !!!!!!

still got feelings for him? how about taking your mind off him? get a hobby or a pet. do something productive. work out and get a drop dead gorgeous body. exercise will occupy your mind and you will be too tired at night to be thinking about him.
