Long distance blues

I'm so sorry this is happening. I know when my husband and I were dating we were long distance for a bit and we ended up breaking up, but then we got back together and I moved in with him where he was living. Long distance relationships are very difficult and take a lot of work to make them work so as long as you are both on the same page then it should be fine.

View Quoted Comment Thank you! I know we will be ok it’s just really hard not to be with him when we’re planning to spend our lives together starting so soon.

I am so sorry. It is not direct and soon enough you will be happily together as husband and wife. I am so sorry and I can imagine it's hard.

I will give you the same advice as I give military wives. Despite him being away, remember that you have goals. This provides you a perfect opportunity to focus on them. Maybe it is weight loss, a college degree, a small business startup. Try to shift your focus into something for yourself besides wedding planning. Enjoy your YOU time.

View Quoted Comment That is great advice. I’m trying my best to do so and really enjoying developing my hobbies

Im so sorry. Just think you will soon be married to the love of your life. I hope everything gets better🥰

I’m so sorry. long distance is always hard. We are not long distance now but we were at the beginning of our relationship. We were best friends who lived in two different. At that point, we had already traveled outside the country together and visited each other several times. We decided we were worth a shot, and were long distance for 7 months before I graduated and moved to the same state he was in. During that time we were also fighting a lot (my hormones were way out of whack and he was especially stressed out from work) but we made it through that. We loved each other but it was such a perilous time because our relationship was so new. If we can do that, I believe in you guys too! I’m afraid I’ve got no good advice, but talking on the phone whenever possible helps. He would also text me every day to wake me up, and it was awesome. Hope that helps!

View Quoted Comment My fh will be deployed the first 10 months of our marriage. I already have some ideas! Visit the wineries, visit new places, work towards my masters. It will suck being alone but I have to give myself something to look forward to!

I am in the EXACT same situation. My fiance also lives in FL for school and like you we only get to see each other roughly every 2 months. It is really hard. It is hard for me because there isn't anyone around me that relates to our situation. We Skype every night and do plans in the YouVersion bible help so we communicate everyday and keep God the main focus (which is really important to us). We also write letters to each other and send 'care packages' for fun. I understand what you are going through. We aren't getting married until June 2022. Hang in there and you'll be fine. It'll all be worth it!
