My opinion: Let her be. Make sure she knows you're there for her when she's ready to talk about it. Sometimes time is the only healer.

This. I'd give her space. If shes asking you for advice, I'd have her start a journal or have her write him a letter everyday. Keeping busy helps the time move quicker. Good luck to her and her BF

^ this, hope she will be feeling better soon :(

at least going thru this will help her realize actually how much the people close to her mean to her. going thru things like this help you not take those people for granted.
 
Why would she cry? Its not like she is never gonna see her bf again.
 
Call me old fashioned, but what are her priorities in life? Shouldnt she be worried about school and a career, instead of moping about a boyfriend in the military? She needs to get her priorities straight instead of getting involved in all that drama. I hope she isnt naive enough to think dating a future marine has a future for her.

dude are you serious? read the thread before you ignorantly comment like that. i quoted her in case you missed it which apparently you did. she seems to be a bright kid

and what? a person should be a dang heartless robot before they get their life priorities straight?

it's the things like this you experience in life that builds character dude. besides, there is no drama, she just misses a bf that left for a while, is that too hard to understand?

No offense, but I think I have a little more life experience to speak from than you do.
 
Spiritofthesoul = Other than your immediate family, relatives, and friends, it is plain to see you have not experienced the deep feelings of love that : evolve over time, between 2 ppl that were total strangers that turns into a friendship, and eventually becomes a deep feeling of love, mutual respect, and so on. After being at this point for a time, it is hard to imagine your own life without the other person being there to share it all with. If and when you are appart, even when you know you'll see them again, it can cause you to have actual physical pain. Nuff said 'bout this. I hope that when you are 'in love' that the persons' feelings are mutual. :D
 
Got my heart broke once. Swore I'll never be 100% serious in any relationship again.
Relationships break just as easily as they are form. No point getting serious until marriage.

Me aside, maybe her boyfriend could gave her a box of chocolate?
Number of chocolate = Number of days he would be away.
That way, she could eat one everyday to remember him.
 
Thank you so much 'SumoNinja'! You have such a good heart. :D I'm sure you've got plenty of experiences that you are very 'well rounded' (no punn intended), when it comes to life and learning from it. And I'm gonna ignore the extreme negetive poster.
 
I know I'm gonna get flammed for this (USA power trip or whatever), but why don't we ALL bring home ALL our soldiers? American, Canadian, British, whatever... Just send them all home.

The US has wasted soooo much capital fighting this war (I'm not against what they've done, as 9/11 HAD to be justified) but I think it's time to come home? Just my opinion. Maybe start working on strenthening the economy? I had a buddy from school die in his third tour. 24 years old. Brutal.
