InLoveArmy06 Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 Hey all. I am just looking for some advice dealing with a new LDR. He lives 13 hours away and after he graduates he will be going into the army. I would also like any info on that you guys could possibly give me. You know, what to expect, what things are likely gonna happen, etc. I have never been in a LDR or gone out with a military man.
agnf666 Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 I have been writing and talking back and forth with a guy in the Navy. He lives clear across the United States. I have grown to like him but we haven't met. We aren't in a relationship but it may happen soon. He calls me more then he writes to me. So, I know the feeling of having someone live about that far away. What I can tell you is that it is going to be hard. Write to him as often as you can...and hopefully you will get to talk to him on the phone for a little while. BUT... Since he is getting ready to go into the Army you won't be able to hear from him on the phone for a few weeks. Have you met him yet? You guys will both have to have alot of trust within each other. If one doubts the other then it will not work. Here is a website below that will give you some more encouragement for your relationship. They have a section on Military Spouses, and LDR. http://www.lovingyou.com
Israfil Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 You know, what to expect, what things are likely gonna happen, etc. I have never been in a LDR or gone out with a military man. I would not recommend either. End it now, before it inevitably will in the future, after you have experienced immeasurable heartache.
blazer Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 If you have both committed to the relationship, then just continue to live your life with commitment, trust, mutual respect and honesty. Although LDR are difficult, they are not impossible. You can still continue to build your relationship from far away. I would suggest that you email each other regularly. You want to share all aspects of yourself, your friends, family, every day goings-on. You want to continue to be each other's best friend, the one each other turns to for support, to confide in, vent to, etc. Although communication will be difficult, you can make it more fun by sending digital pictures of yourself, writing steamy love notes, just being creative. When I was in a LDR, my boyfriend wrote me these amazing love notes. He was an artist and would draw pictures of us together. Then the excitement of seeing each other again was almost worth it all. Best of luck. For more tips, see http://www.relationship-advice-for-guys.com/long-distance-relationship-tips.html
