I liked your answer to my question so I was wondering if you could help me with my actual problem. This guy I've been so in love with for 2years has finnally opened up to me and wants to be with me. But now he just went into jail and is looking at 6-8 years. I TRUELY believe I love him! I want to wait for him because I want him and only him. I have tried many times with other guys but it never works because I can't help but compare all other guys to him and none of them ever come close to what he made me realize I want in a guy. I just need some advice. How do I do this? I cry all the time, I can't stop thinking about him, and I get soooo impatient waiting for his letters every week!

Thanks for contacting me about this. I am more than happy to help! One of the things that would help me give you better advise would be to know why your boyfriend is in jail. If you don't mind telling me of course.
Until and if I get to know that my advise to you would be to find good things to distract your thoughts. Find things to do that make you happy and I would really recommend finding ways to be of service to others. That will give you a very good feeling of accomplishment and help you focus on happy things while you wait for him. :)
6-8 years is a very long time and there is a lot that you can get done in that time. If you are college aged, I would highly recommend focusing on your education. If you are graduated, I would recommend finding a career that you can be passionate about. These things will both last for a very long time and distract you by helping you focus on growing and achieving success.
I don't know if you believe in God or not but I would give prayer a try if I were you. :)It certainly can't hurt anything and it has changed my life for the better. But if you aren't interested in that, I would still recommend giving everything else a try. If you want to talk about this more I would be happy to speak with you about it. I have one sister who has been waiting over a year for the man she loves to return home and she has to wait 11 more months. I have another sister who is waiting for the young man that she loves to come home and she has been waiting for almost a year. So, I have experience with helping people wait :) It won't be easy...but true love can endure anything.
