First of all talk to him, tell him whats on your mind dont let the days pastby and the next thing you know he was leaving that day, there no harm in talking heart to heart conversation with your love one. i know he's waiting for you... ofcourse he thinks about the marrage and baby and so as the days go by never seeing his child grow. anyone or may i say everybody loves to see his/her child grow. if you have something in mind tell him rather than keep it in yourself nobody will knows it ever... ^__^

i guess you have to let him go abroad. I'm sure it is for your future (his family). Just wondering why can't you bless your child if not married yet. I know it's hard to be apart, but if the family's future is concern. Sacrifice!

Marine love - I bunk with a Marine, what do you bunk with?
My fiance works abroad. Sort of. He's a US Marine and is stationed on the east coast, about 1400 miles away from me. He's been overseas twice and we've been fine. Just stay strong and love him more every day. It'll all be okay. If you feel like you should get married before, then get married before. If you would rather wait until you're not rushed, then wait. Trust me, it will all work out. Just try not to worry too much about it. that's what I try to do!

It is natural for all of us to be anxious of our partner not being with us. It is really different if our boyfriend or husband is always near for different reason such as comfort, companionship, and the feeling or knowing that there is someone near to us is something. But it will also be unfair for your partner to make him stay if he doesnt want to, because it can be a reason for him not to appreciate your presence because you obliged him to be with you. Sometimes its nice to let someone do what they want to do to make them realized by themselves which is more important, than telling them. It is enough that you let him know how you feel and maybe he could do something about it. He might consider your feelings and do something that would put you at peace, or atleast make you feel more secure with your relationship.

I think you need to talk to him about what you're uncertain about, so that he can try to see your point of view. After all, a long distance relationship can have a lot of difficulties, and especially with a baby, it can be very hard on a family. Does he need to go for his career? Or is there somewhere else he can go, maybe someplace where you'd be able to work too.

Reading that, I kinda feel that you have the right to feel however you feel right now. Afterall, you did have a baby with him. Did he ask you to go with him? I think that he should not be so selfish to leave you and your baby alone and go work. I mean, yeah..money is important and all that but what about the two of you???

oh its kind off lill critical situation for you i guess.. well ill suggest you to ask him that you guys get marry before he leave for abroad because 2 years is really a big time to be seperate. so its better and safe for you to ask him get married and then leave the town , so that you guys bond into a legal relationship and then he can also take care of the baby bys sending some money for him. i am not saying think negative but i just want togive you more postive points so that it wouldnt be wrong in future.

My boyfriend works overseas. He is a U.S. Merchant Marine and I believed he is doing it for our future. You'll be okay! The first couple of months of being separated with your hubby would be very difficult but believe me, you'll get over it! I mean just think about your future! Don't you think he's doing this for your future and you need to motivate him and support him more. Many families tend up to be away from each other but I believed that if you have faith, trust and love...you'll definitely get through it. Just keep on praying and communicate with him as much as possible. Just update him on whatever's happening in your life and always tell him how much you love and miss him. Goodluck and God Bless!

When my husband had to leave for a job outside the metro, at first I felt really bummed! I cried like hell. But of course I didn't stop him coz that's an opportunity for his growth as well. Back then it was just me and him. Recently he had to leave for another job, this time outside the country! Luckily, this time I was much occupied with our newborn that I didn't feel his absence so much. Just remember, if this happens, trust your partner and support him in his endeavor coz it will contribute to his career development. :)

hi! i was thinking of not letting go my partner when he was going abroad. fortunately, he was always here every one month because of problems with his visa. but i can't imagine living far away from him for months or year. i told him i can't bear being far for such long time. for the baby, our baby was baptized even we're not married. i really wanted to be his wife. i still have to go on annulment. don't worry too much because you can't think clearly if so many things are blocking your mind. if you really love him, trust in whatever his decision. just pray and have faith in God. =p
