I have been with my boyfriend to close to 2 years. During that time we have had a high school relationship and a long distance military relationship. I am a year younger than him so i experienced all of his senior year, my junior year, together. But when it was time for my senior year he was in boot camp, trainings, and finally his new duty station. So I didn't get a "normal senior year". Which is totally fine. It was hard, not only because my best friend was far away, but also because none of my friends understood what was going on with me and they all basically left. That was hard. I've now graduated and am going to college about 4 hours from home and 7 hours from my boyfriend.
I never saw my life turning into what my parents were. My parents were both Army. I had never thought that I would end up in love with this teenage boy turned Marine. I love him, and would do anything for him but lonely nights turn into lonely weeks, to lonely months. I haven't seen him since Easter, it was only supposed to be a week until I got to see him, and at the rate we are going it won't be until November or December. I miss him so much and with his job we never get to talk anymore. He goes out of communication for a week or two at a time. So while he is states-side, we never talk. This is hard to explain to other people who just get to call their significant other whenever they please.
I am just ready for a normal "civilian-life" with my boyfriend.
But we have years until that will happen....So for now its a hurry up and wait kind of life.
