Tonight, I am going to blog about the the urban legend that most girls leave their boyfriends while they are in army.

Though I doubt it will happen to me because I am one very loyal and committed person. So yes.

It will not.

Unless, possibly, perhaps, maybe if I happen to meet a very smart, intelligent billionaire the next day who is willing to buy me a whole lifetime's supply of Heather Bailey fabric, and give me an allowance of about 10K SGD to spend every month.

MAYBE.

Maybe only.

Note the criterias: Rugged, intelligent, billionaire (cos millionaires don't quite cut it lol)

But what are the chances of this wonderful dream happening. Like 0.0000000111 percent?

Hmmm.

Okay, quit dreaming. Anyway, back to my topic of how many people always assume that it is so easy for couples to break up in NS, just because the girl's heart gets swayed.

Let me tell you.

I do not think it is true.

Seriously, NS puts guys in a difficult situation.

1. Your boyfriends do not have it easy in the army.

Girls, listen out there!

Your boyfriend does not have it easy in the army.

In army, they have to tolerate all the shit from the upper ranks, go through torturous training every day (unless you're in PES C and working as a clerk, good for you) and the occasional 'problems in camp'.

Therefore, when they call us at night feeling damn groggy and beat and actually all we want to do is to hear them say those 3 precious words, it just never comes.

Sometimes, he calls and do not talk.

You can only hear the ah bengs in the background.

Do not feel pissed or annoyed.

Do understand why he's so quiet. Maybe he only wants to hear your voice before he sleeps.

Do not nag at him when he calls or tell him to do something for you this weekend.

It would make things a lot better.


2. Understand his needs

3. Do not force him to tell you about his troubles.

Guys will talk when they want to.

They're straightforward, simple, one-way. They communicate for the sake of communicating.

Girls, on the other hand, treat communication like a double-edged sword. Girls are emotional. They derive pleasure from sharing their problems with other people and just want people to "hear them out".

Common Scenario 1:
Girlfriend: Why are you so quiet? You okay?
Boyfriend: Camp got problems...
Girlfriend: Wanna tell me about them?
Boyfriend: Aiyar, tell you, you also won't know.

Do not cajole, force, tease your boyfriend into sharing his 'army problems' with you.

















Maybe it's because I see him every week without fail?

It's becoming like a ritual.

Book out, call, arrange to meet, meet, eat, watch movie, walk, talk, send home, sleep, book in.

Yup, sharing your weekend with a boyfriend in NS is quite miserable.

We are fast becoming people with no lives.
