people dont realize - Long Distance Love

USAF_GF · 04-23-2009, 02:00 PM

that being in a long distance relationship AND a military relationship is one of the hardest things to do. They assume that everyone cheats on each other and thats all. They think its hard in a normal relationship???? They would die if they were in our shoes. So ladies and gentlement that are in one of these relationships....GO US! I think we are strong...*weak a little mentally in my part* We show that our love is true and it will with stand anything.

Okay im a senior in high school. But i cant stand when i hear my friends B***** and and moan how they cant see their boyfriend or girlfriend for one day or week and go ballistic...I mean how horrible it must be to be them...ugh i get so irritated by that

Missing someone is missing someone IMO.

I do understand what you mean when you say it's irritating. You'll hear over and over in this thread that "missing someone is missing someone". While I agree with that to an extent, time and distance makes missing someone a little more painful.

I know how you feel. I had friends who would complain their DB didn't text all afternoon while mine was in Iraq. Yeah, maybe they miss their DB too, but its a little different when you don't know when you'll be able to see or even just talk to your DB again. Its stressful.

hey girl i get you im in college and alot of people are exactly like that and i try extremely hard to ignore it and its really hard to ignore it but i do it. i understand where you are comin from because i am in a military relationship but when he is home im still a good 6 hours away from him at my home. but i am going to school about an hour and half away from where he lives not by choice by chance but my pm box is always open

i can really relate to you and keep your head up it

Yeah my best friend says it's hard for her to hang out with me on the weekends because that's the only time her and her girlfriend really see eachother. Eh...I haven't seen my man since the beginning of January. I guess sacrificing one day is too much for her.

txgirl06 · 04-23-2009, 02:09 PM

I understand how you feel. Sometimes I just don't feel like my friends that see their boyfriends all the time understand what I go through with the distance. But at the same time, I feel like I have a stronger relationship with DB for dealing with the distance than if he were here, so I feel luckier too.

USAF_GF · 04-23-2009, 02:10 PM

Good im not the only one like this. One of my really good friends is dating this guy. Me and her signed up for this program to symbolize how bad drinking and driving is. And we had to stay the night at a retreat. and because her and her boyfriend had to go one night without seeing eachother. Her bf went ballistic on me and now wont have anything to do with me. JUST FOR ONE NIGHT! Dont know how they would ever be okay in a relationship like ours

I was sad that I couldn't see Andrew (then boyfriend) when I'd go camping for long weekends with my family in high school...

and I'm just as sad now when I can't see him for any period of time because of his job.

Being away is the hard part for me... not the why or the how long... just the being away.

Steff Bo Beff · 04-23-2009, 02:12 PM

I think that when someone says "I miss my SO more more than you" because of the distance, it's not really fair because you can't expect the other person to know how you feel since they haven't had to deal with it. Being apart for 1 day or a week is hard for that person because that's all they have had to deal with. If they were in your situation maybe it would be different and they would be understanding. But like I said, that's all they know. So I can see where you're coming from, but you can't expect a person to know what it's like until they've been where you're at. Sorry if this doesn't make sense

ETA: When I say "you" and "you're" I'm just talking about in general. Not directing at anyone in particular.
