Hello everyone!
I just wanted to take a moment and introduce myself, and make my presence known. Also, I wanted to give a little bit of a background on my situation.
I guess I am sort of pre-gaming my long distance relationship by coming to this site and registering. I am currently in the military and stationed overseas. I met my SO, who I adore more then I can possibly put into words in a post on a forum, last June. We've been inseparably together since October, and unfortunately this June will be my time to return stateside, while she'll still have to be here until December time frame. Sadly, this means my heart will be broken for 6 long months. I know that compared to some of the stories I see on here that is nothing, but to me and my world, that's everything.
At the moment we're still physically together, but as the clock ticks away and I start to do more and more to prepare to leave I find myself getting more and more in a funk - which is why I've come to this site and hope to get a lot of good and useful tips, along with most importantly, a support group that is going through the same kind of situations. As much as i'm saddened to learn that are so many people that have to be separated from their loves, i'm comforted knowing that i'm not alone and that there are others with whom I can get some comfort in.
I am truly grateful however that I am also separating from the service, as that means when her time here is done, i'll be able to follow her and be reunited with her at her next duty location. So I guess for the moment, while we aren't separated yet, i'm going to maximize my time with her and love every second of it. I dread the fact that I know it will be ripped away from me and there isn't much I can do about that.
Anyway, again, I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself.. and get a little of this off my chest. Hopefully, I don't sound too distraught.
