Hey Guys..............

Ok.. SO i just had the biggest argument wuth my partner..

He is away with the army at the moment and cant call me everynight as he sometimes has no recweption.... So yesterday he said he would have no reception.. so that was fine... But then we realised my friends partner would be with him and he would have reception.. so when Kane (my friends partner) called Margeet (my friend) she said for chad to call on kanes phone if he wanted...

So about and hour later i get a call from chad.. He yells at me and says he cant always call me and he doesnt have reception on his phone...

So i calmly told him it was just if he had time and if he wanted to call me.....I then hung up...

I feel sooooooooooooooooooooooo hurt that he would just blast me on the phone.. It wasnt even my idea.... He got so upset and i dont even understand why.

So in the past half hour he has tried calling and my friend has said for him to call me tomorrow...

So im thinking does this mean i like talking to him more then he likes talking to me????????????????

sad sad sad

your thoughts would be much appreciated
he was prolly being teased by some smart azz GI about being "whipped" but ya, it was pretty inexcusable. he will have to decide if he wants the relationship I'd imagine, and correct his behavior accordingly...as I'm sure there are plenty of guys out there who'd love to talk to youflowerforyou

gee how would you feel if you woke up this morning from your dreams and you were in the army...................duh


I am not sure how I'd feel entirely

but I know I would not feel all of a sudden entitled to yell at my partner on the phone

Hmmm Amy didnt put that chad is on his way home from a short drive to deliver stuff, well i guess its 8000 ks, but it is just him and 7 other mates, all except 2 are single and are stopping for meals and have had a few days to enjoy the pubs around a couple of towns.

And yep he does have a job with huge responsabilities, and he is in charge of what he is doing.

But being the one left behind, is not an easy thing, Getting a phone call the night before to tell you they are leaving the next day and knowing that they can be called overseas at anytime does not exactly make for an easy life.

In actual fact the girls who are involved with the army boys, Have joined the Army..

Let's get real here. Sometimes, a man's woman is not the first thing on his mind. It doesn't mean he doesn't love/care/miss her. Just means there are moments when his woman isn't his first thought. Sure. You miss him cause he is over there, and you pray for his safe return, and you wish he were with you. He misses that too.

Now, the fellas there could be ragging him about how he is whooped because he always calls you. Sounds childish, but guys do this to one another. We get our "man card" questioned when other dudes feel a chick has a guy wrapped. So, this could be going on (Not saying it is, cause hell...it could be many things). Just keep cool and love and support him. If he keeps happening, then maybe make a choice to speak on it.

noway his behavior was potentially red flag abusive - he needs notice - can't happen again

I don't know Sweet.. I mean there are far bigger things going on than a phone call.. I mean they're nice but sometimes just not convenient.. Besides we don't know if she's ever yelled at him or if it's a pattern with him.. Most lose their temper at some point and some people if pushed against the wall with their private lives being made known to all might get upset..

Or, he is just a typical Aussie boy, who is going to cop it big time with his mates if he dares to want to talk to his girlfriend.

there is nothing manly over here about wanting to talk to your girl, or even acknowledging that you might possibly want to talk to her.

Hmmm . y

Men, in general, when ragged on by the fellas will try to act more manly. It's an ego thing, and it is a downfall that majority of men have. Why? Because men do not want to be "thought of" as being controlled by there woman. When you hear a dude say "I wear the pants in the family". Or, "I can do whatever I want. I don't have to clear it with her". That is the dude feeding his ego. And saving face. And blah, blah, blah. laugh

then again, sometimes it's just easier to ask for forgiveness than permission

People hit it on the head with the P whipped comments and also being told about the cell phone thing from his buddy instead of you magnified it. As soldiers we have a lot of frustrations in the military and it comes out in our voices though we don't mean to. Unfortunately we vent to those we care about. He knew he screwd up because he kept trying to call you.

If he is getting ready for deployment he is going to need you. There are things I wish I could tell you. All I can tell you is to love him and don't let the little things interfere in your relationship. If he is combat arms then don't try to coddle him or be "understanding". Trust me you have you idea what we go through and it pisses some of us off when people try to be "understanding". Just love him and let him know he is loved.
