We've been together for almost 2 years now. Those two years have been alot of fun. But we've had a down moments too. We even split up for about 3 weeks one point but got back together. The problems is that he told me that they are going to extend his tour for 3 more months added on. What am i supposed to do until December?

Put yourself in his shoes, facing death everyday, a complete adrenaline junkie because of that and they add 3 months to his tour. Here you are in a nice snug home complaining. Go ahead push him over the edge. Get something battery operated and take care of yourself, quit acting so spoiled.
Thank you for SUPPORTING THE TROOPS!
You should have dumped him before he left. You are probably his reason for staying strong.

If you feel the relationship is worth it, then stay with him. Don't just drop him because he's going to be away longer than you expected. I know it gets hard and lonely, but you aren't the only person to have to deal with this, and you aren't going to be the last. Military wives go through it all the time, and they manage, so I am sure that you can too. If your relationship is worth it, and you love him, then you should be willing to wait for him. December is not that far away...if you think about it, and also consider that it's going to be longer for him than you. After all, you are here with all the amenities, and family and friends; while he is over there without. In the meantime, busy yourself. Send him cards and care packages, or letters. Hang out with friends. You can do this.

If you really love him wait. all relationships have down moments so don't worry about that too much. A little bit of fighting (arguing) is healthy What he's doing is an amazing thing and I don't think he should be punished for that. It isn't his fault his tour got extended.

I say stay. I spent a year in Iraq recently and I've seen a lot of guys find who out that their girlfriend or wife has been cheating on and seen a lot of guys have their girlfriend or wife leave them while they are over there. It is very difficult for them to go through that while they are over there. It's hard enough just being over there away from home.That is the last thing anybody over there need to go through. Anyways every relationship has it's ups and downs. I say if you do truly love him then stay with him, please. I know how hard it is to be in a relationship when you're so far from home and the ones you love. Just remember that the 2 of you being seperated like this isn't any easier for him to deal with. It's very stressful just being over their and I would know having been there myself. I say follow your heart. If you do truly love him then stay with him. He needs your love and support. I'm sure he'd much rather be back home with you anyways. As far as what your supposed to do till December,I don't know but just hang in there for his sake as I'm also sure he is hanging in there for your sake. It's also heartbreaking coming back home and watching the other soldiers hug and kiss their girlfriend, wife, boyfriend, or husband. If you were to decide to leave him while he is over there, it'll crush him. With him going through that it could have a direct impact on a mission, a negative impact. I'm not trying to scare you into staying with him. I'm just giving you the opinion of a soldier who's been over there. Like I said if you truly love him then stay with him and give him all the love and support you can. He'll greatly appreciate it. I hope this helps.

You knew he is in the military and can be away for extended periods. The extension to his service in Iraq is not his choice. If you want to end your relationship I think you should wait until he returns and do it face to face. What you do while he is away is a problem all wives and girlfriends of the military have.

He needs you now more then ever. He is a very dangerous place (2 brothers over there) and he needs the support. I would never do that to someone. Though it may be lonely. You know what. If it true love it will last. Wait for him and then decide.

I'm in Iraq right now and i would be pretty upset if my girl left me so close to the end of my tour.

you grow up and deal with it. look at it this way, there was someone in your shoes, but instead of having to wait until December she will NEVER see her boyfriend/ husband again.... 3 months doesn't seem so long now, does it

God please don't break up with him right now. Hold on. He is in a very dangerous zone and the added pressure of a break up would be a bit too much for him. Hold on. Stay with him.
