Ok.
I don't really know what I want with that Thread. I just feel like I Need to write some things down, get it off my chest preferably to be read by People who know what I'm talking about. ( I got another "it's only this and this many weeks, you'll get through" yesterday - urgh)
During summer Holiday I met this guy and started talking to him in a bar. Soon enough, we were talking Jobs. I guess i expected anything but the answer I got. So I almost choked on my drink I think when he told me "I'm a Marine", and had him repeating it about three times until I was able to process the Information. (no, I can't by the life of me understand why anyone would join the Military. No offense, I just don't seem to get it). Anyway, we talked for a Long time, went out together that night and the night after.
The day I left I gave him my number. We haven't stopped texting and calling every now and then since then.
He told me on Holidays that he will be away for a time in autumn. Before he went, we saw each other twice, and it has been amazing.
Well, now he's gone (and we are through more then half, luckily) he does have wifi every now and then and then we message and call if we may.
But we can never know if he has or hasn't got a way of getting in contact. Like yesterday he told me he might not have wifi till he gets back home.
And I know i can consider myself lucky as others don't have contact with their Military SO for month and month at a time.
I arranged a flight to see him on a date we thought was just a week after he returned home, but of course, all the Dates have been changed and now he's home even earlier. I know I should like that, and this is good, but I arranged a flight close to his return date because I thought that I can't have him so close and not see him as soon as I can. Argh!
Shortly after I met him this summer, they thought they had to leave four weeks earlier then scheduled but then they didn't.
How do you men and women cope with those constant change of plans and the never knowing what/if/when?
I am trying to keep busy, but there have got to be other things I can do.
I know I'm in a very comfortable place, and have it great compared to other couples in the same Situation, I have just never been through anything like it and sometimes I feel like I can't cope.
Also, before I met him I have been single for quite a few years. This is the first guy that blew me away in ages, and he really did. He is a hero in making me feel special and he goes above and beyond to let me know I'm on his mind. We've not talked about if I'm his girlfriend or not officially, but the way we talk, there's not much to talk about, it's just how it is.
Sometimes I feel like it's typically me - I don't have a man for ages, and then when I do, and when I manage to open my heart and let one in, it has got to be the most complicated and inconvenient option I could think of.
