My boyfriend of a year is in Iraq for the second time. I love him with all my heart and I know he loves me. It is just so hard being in a relationship with someone who is so far away. I think of him all the time in a way that is is becoming a distraction to my life. When he was home he was the only reason why I smiled and now he is the only why I cry. We talk on the phone occassionaly and e-mail each other daily. At first I didn't understand how serious the war was but as time passes and the more people are getting killed I fear more and more for his life everyday. When he left it was like I was losing my best friend. I understand that this is his job but it just hurt so bad. I feel so lonely. I definitely want to spent the rest of my life with him and I can't see my life without him. Is this a healthy relationship? Should I break up with him so he would have to be stressed because he is away from me? Maybe I am a distraction to him!?!?

You are NOT a distraction to him, you may be his reason for watching his a$$ every day and wanting to come home. My husband just returned from his 2nd tour, we weren't married when he was gone the 1st time (we met a few months before he left) and we had no children so I had all the time in the world to sit around and miss him like crazy. You WILL make it through this but, please, just stay strong for him and don't walk out now. If you guys aren't met to be then wait until he gets back to break if off, if that's what you have to do. He needs you now more than ever and you WILL make it through this, it's hard but you can do it. (((((HUGS)))))

The relationship sounds like it may well be healthy when he returns.
If you think it's a good idea, ask him not to commit to any more tours, and see how it goes if he manages to come back home.
Good luck.

Dude's a hero and probably needs your support more than ever. I'd say he's worth his weight in gold just for being man enough to join up and fight for his country. Your loss if you decide to break it off.
