I'll be in the army for the next 6 years. My boyfriend says he will wait for me. Do you think he will?

When you say "wait for me" you don't say where. Does it mean he won't see you for six years because you'll be deployed to some far-away land or that he'll only see you periodically?

Either way odds are he won't be waiting for you. Six years is a long, long time and since you're not even married and you don't say that you have kids, I would say there's not enough to keep you connected.

If it's meant to be, six years from now you can re-connect, otherwise, say adios mi amor. The good news is there are plenty of dudes in uniform who will be giving you plenty of attention. You'll forget him in no time.

I hate to say it, but MM has a point here. It's better to say goodbye now than to wait and have everything fall spectacularly apart. Because unless you're stationed all six years at your local military base, it can and it will.

As the girlfriend of someone who's signed into the Navy for 6 years I say it's not worth completely giving up just because it will be hard. My boyfriend and I are taking it as it comes, we got through basic where we couldn't talk at all and now we're just making the time we can spend together special and making the phone calls all the more important. He'll wait as long as he cares about you and you both work to make your relationship special

6 years is too long for him to try to wait and for you to feel guilty for making him. So there's two things you can do here. You can either put the relationship on hold for the six years and make plans to start seeing each other when you get out OR you can maintain a long-distance relationship where both sides are free to see other people. Doesn't mean you have to hear about it, but even having the license to have a good time will help him to feel that his needs are important to you. Oddly enough, it will make it MORE likely that he'll be waiting for you when those six years are up.

No, he won't and it's unfair for you to expect him to. It doesn't work out because someone always ends up cheating. You're young, live it up. There will be others (seriously) and if you guys do stay in touch while you are in the Army, then all for the better. You will be cheating yourself out of many experiences if you do.
