How to deal with a long distance relationship when unsure of the time length?

I have been with my boyfriend (who is in the army) for almost 6 months. A month ago he got transferred to a different state and I can only see him for weekends every 3 or 4 weeks (if I'm lucky). I am willing to move to be with him because I love him and he is keen for me to move too however there are so many ifs, buts and maybes I have no idea when I will be able to move. Life is stressful with uni work and other personal issues and I miss having him close to me. I know he loves me as much as I love him but sometimes it doesn't seem he misses me as much which hurts. I need a way to deal with missing him so much. He isn't the type to do corny things like look at the stars at the same time etc. He is coping with missing me as he is patient. I however, am not! Please any help would be great..How to deal with a long distance relationship when unsure of the time length?
Being an army wife I know how it is. Trust me. It's not easy at all. Be thankful that you get to see him a few times outta the year, there are wives, girlfriends and fiancees out there who wish they had that opportunity! You are very lucky and fortunate. Mine is half across the world and it sucks. I am happy for you. The only way you'd be able to move with him is if you marry him, army really doean't approve of shacking up with a gf or a fiancee before marriage and in the army.


Trust me he misses you, they just get pre-occupied with things that make it seem that way. They undergo alot of stresses more than we do. If he is not into the whole corny things then you can still be into that, I find it cute. You can write him letters everyday and show him you love writing him and talk about the everyday things you do, like your day your plans for the weekend, how much you miss him. He'll enjoy reading your letters and also you'll get a great response. Send him pictures of you hanging out around town letting him know you are doing fine but still think about him alot.


I have 3 girls and I hang out with them at home. I know how much it sucks to be away from the one you love and I write him everyday it helps speed up time and it makes things alot easier. Keep holding on if you love him alot, love grows fonder with distance and this I find true. Long Distance relationships work. If you have any concerns you can write him your normal letter then warn him if you want to know the ugly truth read beyond this point if not, good night and have sweet dreams. That way he can know heads up okay shes going to tell me something serious. It sucks sometimes because you dont wanna bring them down but then again, its good to let them know how you feel and how you are doing. He cares about you and misses you. Every soldier misses their girl.





Good luck!
