We spent every day together, I didn't have school or a job so we did many things together, his sister was very upset with me and started stuff, but his family was very supportive and understanding, now on leaves they don't get upset as much, his sister still does, so we always just prepare for that, but don't worry about all of the emotions, i was the same way! (we only dated for not even 2 months before he left) so spend time with your marine and have fun :)

it's okay, I was too, it was really weird on family day, just because we hadn't talked in person for sooo long (besides a 5 min call he had earned).  But that also came with the Marine mode, I felt like he hadn't been able to be himself in so long he was kind of different, but once we got off base the next day, he was himself.  I wouldn't think too much into it, even though its hard to do.  It was a relief for Chuck to know that I stayed with him throughout the entire thing and it made us stronger, so I'm sure your boyfriend will feel the same way, it made things soo much better when he was home.
