    Really a lovely story, so touching! Distance is a hardship but it's just like with a fire and a wind you know. Wind blows out a small fire and fans a big one. I see your fire is a big one so there's no reason to worry) I wish you stay strong and keep that flame for many sweet years of togetherness!

    I spent 23 years in the Navy. It is difficult for the loved ones when the sailor is away on deployment. When he finished school, depending on what his job will be, he may be stationed on a ship and can be gone for 6 or more months. if it is a surface ship, he will be able to communicate via email and online. If it is a sub, he can not do that. Just make sure you are ok with being without him for long periods before you get too involved.

      I agree with you olderguy4! I was a Navy wife for 22 years and experienced the long separations, the lonely days and nights, raising children alone the list of sacrifices are too many to list. It wasn't worth it in the long run for me because we divorced two years after he retired.

    I love your story. It is very much the same situation with me and my boyfriend. That first time he calls you his girlfriend and asks you if you would be willing to move with him when he finds out where he is going to be stationed is so special and is a feeling you will never forget! I am so glad you found someone like him. Many people search for the love that we have encountered (you know that true once in a lifetime love) and never find it! Congratulations :)

    this is sooo very much simular to my story! i feel for ya girl bc im going through the exact same thing!!! it gives me hope to know im not the only one out there thats crazy in love with someone who just left for basic. i havent recieved any letters yet....i got a phone call that i missed!!!!! he left me a message that was like 4 seconds long and it just said 'hey babe, just wnted to tel you i made it here safe, love you" i hated myself for missing that phone call!!!!!!!! im practically stalking the mail lady everyday....lol i finally told her why i was at the mailbox and what i was waiting on. at night i sleep in his tshirt and it still smells like him! i think thats the only thing that helps me right now when im breaking down inside. ive already wrote him about 4 letters...dont know when i can send them but i have numbered them so he knows which one to open first. sometimes i feel like im gonna go crazy!!!! but other times i feel lucky and proud to be his girlfriend. i know he loves me soo much. if you need anyone to talk to to , im here. my boyfriend is wanting me to move to where ever he gets stationed at too. i want to do it but i have a 3yr old daughter and im afraid i wont beable to. even though her real dad is a piece of crap and doesnt even pay child suport half the time. i do not know what my future holds or what is going to happen, all i know is that we are deeply in love and want to spend the rest of our lives together. just stay strong and keep your head up! hope evertything works out for the best for you and your man. our men sound very much alike...the whole gentlemen and opening the car door and not letting us pay for anything..... :) its nice to actually have that for once huh? its almost like its too good to be true. i think i finally found my knight in shining armour! sounds like you did to!

    Your story is so touching! My boyfriend always insists on paying for all my dates too even if I already have my money out :)

    Mine leaves overseas in a few months and I can't bear the thought of not being able to see him whenever I want to. I wrote him a letter telling him how much I cared for him too and that I would be willing to go anywhere or do anything just to be at his side :)

    Aw, this sounds so romantic and sweet! I'm really happy for you! My boyfriend leaves April 11th and I'm super nervous ,we've been together for about a year and half now, so I know we can make it through this! The letters must be a savior! Is it hard not being super close, or not knowing his family very well while he's gone?

    Me and my baby have been dating for 7 months, 8 months on the 19th of this month. I love him so very much and I miss him like crazy. He left on the 19th of last month. We have already talked about getting married one day. He wrote a letter to his family and half of it was for me but I can't wait until I get one in my mailbox, I check everyday. He always opens my car door for me, he does whatever he can to make me happy. I got very lucky. It seems like you did too. Good luck!!!

    the same thing kinda happened to me. We barely met and the time we did spend together was amazing. Its like we clicked and I wouldn't leave him for anything. I know what I am getting into but I'm willing to do it for him

    Your story is really sweet and I hope you guys make it. It is not easy being long distance especially in the military. My husband is in the NAVY and being married gives you more privleges but being a girlfriend may be a little bit more tough. Stick in there when the roads get rocky because you guys actually seem like you really love each other.
