Hi Everyone!
Thought I'd introduce myself so should I ever come lurking for advice I wouldn't seem like such a stranger.
I'm about to embark upon a long distance relationship with my boyfriend as he heads off to train for the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) for the next 6 months. We've known each other for 7 years now, and I've known all along he has wanted to date me. Timing was never right, nor was my mindframe, so it never worked out. Until now.
In the 7 years we were friends, he stopped talking to me three seperate times as it was too hard on him to feel like he was my boyfriend, without actually being my boyfriend. I admit, I was getting all of the emotional I needed out of him which wasn't fair. After a year of not speaking, he contacted me out of the blue because he couldn't stop thinking about me and this whirl wind relationship started up.
I couldn't be happier, or more in love and as I prepare myself to send him off I can't help but fear the unknown. I feel fairly confident (though nothing is certain) we're going to make it through as 6 months isn't that long, but keep in mind -- they get posted in remote towns a week after graduation which means if we're not ready to make a big move, we'll be long distance for a while longer. Being that the training is military like, it will make it hard for us to see each other as often as I'd like, or talk as often as I'm used to. Single Tear, lol.
The support here is going to be crucial, and I hope I can eventually give back and lend a helping hand once I get confident in this whole LDR thing!!
Any and all advice is welcome
