I just signed up tonight after coming upon this site on accident doing a google search.
I am 31 and my bf is 28 and getting ready to go to Italy for 3 years. I met him in November when he was in port where I live, he is in the Navy. When we met it was instant chemistry in every way. He is like my other half I have looked for my entire life. I never thought I would meet someone like him and he amazes me even more each day. He is the sweetest guy I have ever met and makes me happy by just thinking about him. I haven't had anyone make me feel this way....ever. How we met was unexpected too. I did not want to work that day and my best friend convinced me to go and I am glad she did. If I had not gone to work I never would have met my bf. I feel fate intervened that day as well.
When I met him he lived only 3hrs away and he use to visit a few times a month but July 4th weekend will be the last time I see him until November. He is moving to Naples, Italy. I knew this was a possibility when I met him and I didn't care and it doesn't bother him either. We want to be together and I will visit every 3mths. I have told him I would live there but only if he asked. He has made a few comments about it himself and I would be all for it but only if he asked. We have a great relationship and I couldn't be happier. My friends and family have noticed a difference in my personality since I met him. They say I have come back to life so to speak. I still get butterflies when I am with him or talk to him. Just thinking of him makes me smile, it's sickening to my friends. I have never been like this! For the first time in my life I am truly happy and I can really thank my bf for this in many ways. He has made me see and feel so many things i never thought possible. He truly is amazing.
I joined the site because my last relationship was also long distance, but not a good one in any way. I never should have done it, I knew it wouldn't work. He wasn't the one for me and I knew it. What I don't want to happen with my current bf is to have my fears from my ex and how he was in the relationship creep into this one. I trust my bf 100% that is not an issue, it's the lack of communication I don't want to happen. My ex use to ignore me for days and say he would call and not. He not once came to see me. I drove 9hrs once a month to see him. I finally gave up and moved on and I couldn't be happier. My bf now is great at communication. We dont talk on the phone every day but a few times a week. We text and email and use webcam. I love skype I never owned a webcam til I met him. We would chat weekly on it. We plan on it when he leaves as well.
I also don't want people in my life putting things in my head because of what happened with my ex. I have already cut people out of my life for saying negative things. I thought it would be easier to talk to other people in the same situation, in a LDR. I can talk to my friends but they really just don't understand. Some of my friends think I am a little nuts but the majority of them love my bf so I can't complain. Personally distance isn't an issue for me. I would not let distance get in the way of love esp someone I love and care about this much. I have to say I am very lucky to have him in my life right now. He is very supportive with work and school. I can be my goofy nerdy self in front of him. He is the same way! I love everything about him. My best friend says we act like best friends who are in a relationship. I always thought that was how is should be. I never had this before and I will not let an ocean come between us
Ok I think my senseless rambling is done. Sorry, I am not good at introductions, let alone what to really say.
