don't worry about it. things may get harder but from my personal experience, being long distance only made us so much stronger. We have been together for 5 years and just today he we have been 5 months long distance and honestly it just gets to show you how strong you can be. I mean don't get me wrong a lot of ppl do break up, do cheat, do loose interest but if you think you are strong enough to get through it than i suggest you go for it

:hi and welcome to SOS!

Welcome!!! For me, personally, it's been a lot harder when my bf leaves then when close friends leave. I'm sure you'll do fine!

I'm dealing with the situation where my exDF is in Oki and we're not together right now but we're trying, well i seem to be trying harder, it just seems like things are..different with him..BUT! sorry didnt mean to side track hah..but i'm sure you'll do great just as it was said above me, the distance will make you stronger, you'll build up that connection between you two even if he's not right there next to you :) :hugs

oo and im gonna PM ya!

Just be yourself, that would be my advice. I met my boyfriend online 13 months and because of nearly 12,000 miles between us and 3 deployments we haven't met - our relationship ended after 4 months but I kept in touch and on his return he informed me he never stopped loving me, and we got back together. If anything it's made us stronger, and the distance means we have to have strong communication as it's all we have at the moment. Keep us updated!

Awww, hang in there!
And welcome to SOS!
