Hey, I understand your plight because my boyfriend to is in the Navy and we have only been seriously dating since Dec 05. Luckily for me he isnt deployed until April of 07. I dont know how my scenario is helping you butt......
Dating guys in the armed forces has its pros and cons... My best friends husband who happens to be in the Navy, is always being deployed but their relationship works great. Being that you have only been with him for a month, the relationship is pretty new and your still stuck in the honeymoon phase.. I think this 6 month deployment is going to be a test on both your parts but its really going to be hard. Honestly though, you cant expect a deep commitment after a month of dating but anything is possible.. Good luck!

You didnt mention how old you were, but I would have a talk with him...where are you now, what do you want it to be, how do you feel about each other? Is it a relationship you see potential in, or are you just casually dating. Have the talk, at least you will know. If he feels strongly about you, six months will feel like hell but it will be over before you know it. If he says that he wants a steady, serious relationship and you are a "couple", be LOYAL to him while he is gone. There is nothing worse than a woman who cheats on her man while he is serving his country. He is a brave man, and a good man for doing that. Patience isnt always easy, but it pays big dividends in the end!!!!

That's a tough one. I dated a guy that was in the army and he was sent away for basic training and that alone was hard. We had strong feelings for each other so we stayed together. We wrote each other as often as possible and it helped a lot. To make a long story short, in the end it didn't work out. We didn't think it was fair for either of us. We stayed friends though and still talk from time to time. Although that was us and everyone's different. You have to ask yourself these questions... do you believe that this relationship is strong? Do you trust one another? Sit down and try to talk to him, tell him how you feel and see if he feels the same way. At least you can then set your mind at ease. I wish you both the very best of luck.

BOY HOWDY! you want to dump him just because he's a brave Navy-man...what a cold-hearted bizatch you are. Wow, I guess you're not wanting to be what he thinks about on those long nites at sea with nothing but d*ck around...hum, doing your part to keep our "boys" fighting happy, aren't ya. I feel so sorry for your boyfriend...hope he finds a real woman that cares enough to wait for him.

if you really want to be with him then hold on to the relationship...my fiance has already been to Iraq for seven months (he is a Marine) and now he has to go back for another seven months to a year... since he has been back we have spent all the time we could together... I wanted it to last so I just waited for him... thats all I could do!!!

I WOULD LET HIM KNOW THAT YOU ARE STILL GOING
THROUGH SOME THINGS, AND SINCE HE WILL BE AWAY
FOR 6 MONTHS, THEN YOU NEED TO REALLY THINK
ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT. IT ONLY BEEN A MONTH
IN TO THE REALTIONSHIP.
