I'm the last person that would ever consider getting married. My ex and I have communicated ever since we broke up, three years ago. He's stationed 10 hours away (he's in the Marine Corp). He's my best friend . We both still love each other very much.It was silly why we broke up. When we were together I was affraid of getting married so I broke up with him. We've been talking about it again and I'm ready now. The question is, should we wait until we find out if he's being deployed or should we just do it right away?

Actually, the fact that you broke up & are still best friends is GREAT!!! It is important to be friends & know as much about the other person as you can before you get married. That way, hopefully there are no surprises.
I think it is also a good sign that even though you pulled back, he obviously understood why & accepted it. Now that you are ready, so is he. You are no longer going in separate directions. Since both of you are now facing front, maybe the time is right!!!
Good Luck to you both.
Thank Your friend for protecting my family, his family & his country. Merry Christmas to you both & God Bless....

If you're ready, go ahead! My coworker got married to a military guy and has been married for 50+ years. She laughingly has told me that it's the secret reason why it worked out, because he was absent so much for the first 10 or 20 years. (Absence makes the heart grow fonder, as they say!)

If you love each other why wait? I mean you could be saving up memories of each other right now in case he does end up getting deployed. Not to mention the fact that it will give him a good reason to get back in one piece if he does have to go. Good luck!

i think nothing should stop you from being married. so what if he gets deployed that just means you have to wait alot longer. If you love the guy marry him why wait.

Don't look for or create reasons why you shouldn't get married. Your feelings speak well enough for themselves. I think you have more reason to get married now than to wait.

I say marry him now. If you all have still been talking, still in love, why not? You're still going to talk and still be in love, even if he moves away.

good question. being away from your spouse in the first years of your marriage could prove trivial. I would wait.

I believe you should wait, it would allow both of you time, to reevaluate your relationship.
