My boyfriend is on his leave after bc and has totally changed towards me. Yesterday he told me he had to talk to me but when he was ready. I told him if he was going to end things to do it instead of having me wait. Today he hasn't called at all, and my best bet is that he will end things even though he says that is not what it is. Any advice???

They all act really strange after Boot just give him some time to re-adjust to live at home. Marines go through phases don't expect him to be right back into the swing of things.

My DH acted very strange after he got out of boot camp. (We were engaged at the time). I don't have any advice for you, but I would just say to see what he has to say. I don't think it will be anything horrible...boot camp does some pretty strange things to them sometimes.
Good luck and keep us posted. :)

I had tried to warn you of this before sweetie, just give him time to come around. They basically brainwash new Marines in boot, give him time to come back into his own skin before jumping to conclusions that he's about to break things off. PM me if you like, I've been in your shoes, and in the end the best remedy is patience.

You have to give him the time he needs...It will take time to readjust, but don't crowd him...let him have his time to figure everything out...

Basically, he just had his world thrown in a jar, the lid slammed on, shaken up, dropped, kicked, puked on, sat on, probably peed on, shaken again for good measure, and then they called him a Marine, told him how proud of him they were, and sent him home to you, whose world...pretty much stayed the same but you missed him a lot.
You're definitely not alone, and you're definitely not in the wrong, but he might want a chance to crawl out of the jar, wobble around, look around at everything so strange, and yet the same, straighten out the wrinkles in his new uniform, and get ready to go back, for school.
They just prepared him for war, so it's almost like a deployment. I'd give him time to settle in and think for a bit. Let him know you care about him (if you still do, but I figure you do). Chances are he doesn't want to leave you (or he probably would have respected you enough to tell you then and there), but ask you if you would still wait, or not. Either way, luck, :hugs, and :goodvibes to you! Keep us posted, ok?
