New military relationships, long distance?

i recently became envolved with a military guy while he was home for 2 weeks. we were friends before, then when he came home we hooked up. for 2 weeks we were a couple, acted like a couple, and spent practically every min. together. then he left to be stationed 16,000 miles away. we agreed to keep it simple, since neither of us had much faith in long distance relationships. plus he isnt supposed to come home again till christmas. so for 2 weeks we talked on the phone ofter about how much we missed and really cared for eachother etc. but all the while he would tell me that if something else came along, i should take it. he said he would probably just end up waiting till christmas for me instead of having a relationship with girls there that are known to cheat. so my feelings for him grew and grew, and after not talking to him for a week, he called and said that he was talking to someone else..deep down i knew this would happen. but im having a hard time dealing with it. what shoud i do?New military relationships, long distance?
Military relationships are notorious for adultery. I've been married to the navy for almost 9 years, and I see it all the time. Most younger people are not emotionally equipped to deal with long distance relationships, especially young people with high stress jobs, like those in the military. See the guy when he's on leave, have fun together, but don't expect a monogamous relationship. You're too young, and it's too much pain and drama to put yourself through for a guy who lives thousands of miles away.New military relationships, long distance?
i think as long as things are working out and you both are happy...then stick it out... if something happens atleast try to work it out. if you cant and it comes to an end you can atleast know you did what you could to keep it alive.

hello!!! he's a single guy in the military! why should he have a long distance relationship when he can have an up close and personal one? leave him alone and find someone closer to you geographically
i know how u feel, when u really like that guy it doesnt even matter if he's that far, u will always love him and like him and miss him. for me, it's never impossible to work things out the way both of you wants.anyway, if you know that he's good,kind and trustworthy.. please work it out. i know one great guy of the navy,he was in love with me.. calling me all the time, sending me presents even he's away. one day, i got fed up, i kept thinking that he cheats and just trying to use me and all those negative things. i told him i found someone else and wanted him to stop calling. so we now no longer a couple but he was so nice and trustworthy guy. and i hope that he can be the one. anyway, long distance relationship is a struggle that i never wish to work out.it's emotionally hard and you will end up getting hurt.the question of ';when can we meet again?'; is just the hardest thing.what if u never gonna see him again..?ull live in doubts all the time. anyway, make the best decision for ur self.. Good Luck, the choice is in your hands.
