I was wondering if you could give me some advice..
I met this guy a while ago we have been together for 5 months and we love eachother but theres one thing in the way of our relationship.. he's leaving for the airforce this april. and we've talked about it not in depth tho.. he says he wants to stay together and hope for the best its a six year contract but you never know he might not like it and wanna come home. Im not the kind of person that needs someone by thier side to be complete.. I just am lost and want to stay with him without a doubt i seriously have been in alot of relationships 2 other serious ones.. and somehow i think that im gunna marry this one someday. We have so much fun together we are best friends.
I would just like someone elses oppinion. Thank you alice.
Much love ally x

Long distance relationships can be very, very difficult to keep. People change over time, and when you don't see eachother or talk to eachother as often as you like, it's easy for two people to drift apart. Six years is a really long time. However, if both of you are really committed to staying together, it can work. You have to keep constant communication going. He will have leaves where he can come home and see you, but it won't happen a lot. You guys will both have to work really hard to keep the relationship strong enough to endure the distance. If it can't work, then it can't work. It's not something you can force and some people are just better with relationships that are close.
