Hello all
First, thanks for taking time to read this thread. I'm new to this site (actually new to forum writing period) and thought I'd give it a try after my sister's suggestion.
This past year has been made up of the best days of my life. They've also been some of the hardest. My boyfriend (yes, I'm gay) recently deployed to Afghanistan. We aren't sure when he's going to return (hopefully - but not guaranteed - by February). Prior to this, we were only separated by about 1,000 miles No big deal - I'm serious. We've spent ALOT of time together - more than some who live in the same household ever do. The distance has never been an issue; when you know he/she is the one, it works.
Now, we are approximately 6,750 miles apart Since his deployment 2 weeks ago, our means of communication has become somewhat "faulty". The wifi and internet over there is crap. Sometimes it's a couple days before he can even get through to Skype, email or iMessage. Plus, his schedule is insane. That has been the hardest thing for both of us. We have spent the last year talking consistently throughout the day and ending every single night (unless we're together) with FaceTime or Skype.
I know there's not much y'all can do about it, but I'm just asking for a little encouragement. Maybe suggestions from people with SO overseas? In the same situation?
Distance really means nothing when two people are meant to be together. (It just sucks for the time being.)
Anyways, thanks for reading and my best to you all!

Also, occasional meaningful messages help too. Having them so far away does suck and I didn't stay strong long enough for us to stay together. But from what I've read, I think you two will make it work really well
