hi everyone, so a little bit of context, my boyfriend and i have been together for about a year and half. things have been going really well until he got hit with orders about 4 months ago to go overseas. (he is in the military) this has been very sudden, and fast paced for both of us as we didn’t have a lot of time to adjust. he left this morning so this is day 1 of it all. he will be finishing the rest of his contract over there, which was originally about a year and a half however since they are sending him overseas they are having him extend 1 year. so around 3 years total. i of course was heartbroken, and scared, but i never changed the way i viewed our relationship and wanted to make it work. since this news we’ve definitely had ups and downs and emotions have gotten the best of both of us but i have been at all time stress (to be expected) but i am having a hard time finding comfort with everything that’s going on and all the changes to come. he assured me and says it’ll all be okay, but i just have to overcome my own issues with this because it doesn’t seem to make me feel any better. i’m worried about our future relationship, what will go on while he’s over there, will he find someone new, etc.. it really is just my own insecurities.
we’ve talked about marriage (a few conversations here and there) and we both ultimately decided to just wait it out and not jump the gun for us to marry and for me to go over there with him. which i feel good about. i of course love him with everything i have and i believe he feels the same way but it just isn’t the right time or circumstance for such a big decision like that right now. we spoke about maybe after around a year or so of him being out there we could possibly speak more in depth and serious about that. but for now he will be there and i will be here. but if things go well i would of course be more than willing to take that step further and marry and move over there with him.
i plan to visit him over there, and he plans to make time to come back to the states for us to meet as well, also facetime, phone calls, and messaging as much as we can at least since the time difference is about 9 hours. i just know things will change, and it will be a huge test for both of us, and i just don’t think i’m ready for it. (would anyone ever be ready for that though lol?) he grew up his whole life in a military family so he knows the ropes on how all this goes, and he seems much more relaxed and not so worried as me. even though he was pretty heartbroken when he found out, and has made it very clear that he doesn’t want to go, but doesn’t have a choice. which i get, i just never have had to deal with anything like this and im just scared. i trust him and love him like i said but it’s just the fear of the unknown.
i suppose im here just to vent a little bit because no one i know knows how to comfort me, as they’ve never experienced it either. so if anyone out there has any advice on what to do to make the relationship fun and exciting while still being long distance or even just things to expect and explore i would REALLY appreciate it. i feel like im driving myself crazy.
thank you so much ☺️
