I'm so scared.


Question Posted Friday July 29 2011, 2:26 am

This is probably going to be long, and I'm probably going to sound clingy and pathetic, please bear with me.

A little less than 2 months ago, I met the man of my dreams. It sounds bizarre that I'm so sure of myself because it's only been 2 months, but I'm completely confident that I'm in this for the long run. He feels the same way. I spend literally every possible minute with this man. Here are a few problems.

He's going back to college for his sophomore year at SUNY Albany, which is a little over 2 hours away from my house. I'm going to our local community college.
Problem 2: He's a Marine. He's most likely getting deployed for 7 months in December. The thought of going more than a day without him upsets me. Thinking about 7 months without him makes me literally nauseous.

I've become so attached so quickly, which is so unlike me. I've been in love before, but I've never been so in love with anyone in my life. How can I cope with the thought of him not being in my life as often as I'd like him to be? I'm terrified of how much it's inevitably going to hurt.

Well, there are certain compromises you make when you go out with someone who is active military. You can't control it, so all you can do is look at his deployments as part and parcel of who he is. Moreover, while you may need him on a personal level, our country needs him more.

What colleges you guys go to shouldn't be any sort of problem nor should the distance. Don't get hung up on it. Just do the best you can in your life.

Well do what your heart tells you , like the person said if its meant to be it will be dont force anything upon it , look.. hes two hours away and if you guys feel the same way , whats the problem? you guys can visit eachother still and cam and text and call eachother not a bad idea.. it can still work out :)
plus the whole marine thing.. I mean if he does feel the way he says he does.. theres no doubt about it that he will come to you , yes it is a long time , but it will be worth it , its his job.. the future is like that for him , so you are aware of how it will be if you really want this to work out!
Well.. hes always in your life.. just not there physically.. dont worry it will help you build yourself up and you can depend on yourself. yes he wont bve around often but you can still talk to him and text him and everything... I know it will hurt for sure not going to lie, but in the end you wont be hurting

First of all you have to realize it's only been two months. BUT I know how you feel. two hours is not that far away. If you truly love each other you will both learn to deal with the distance by talking on the phone,. texting and webchatting.

As far as the marine thing goes,. It will be very hard not seeing him. Maybe see if you can write letters to eachother? Not sure if this will work or not. But this is how they did it back in the 50's. When people were in the war. And their love faced the long challenges and they Got through it.

So as my best friend says,. If it's meant to be it will be,. Don't try forcing anything into something it's not.

Hope this helps:)
