Stop this madness. Now.
No good ever comes of long distance relationships.
Seriously, stop.

I wish you the best of luck, a safe deployment and a happy family.1. I deploy again for a year in 4 days. This puts me at over 12% of my life in the middle east until I am 31 years old (I am 26). Newscasters continue to downplay deaths overseas as if it were a video game.
I grew up as an army brat an experienced much the same with respect to my father's deployments.2. My daughter will have spent 40% of her life, and my son 60% of his life not having dad there because of the "war".
It is rather sad that for the most part, Americans today can forget we are fighting a war. The disconnect between the civilian and military worlds is nearly total and unfortunate.3. Americans complain about hurricane sandy taking out their utilities and that life is so hard, when thousands forego this luxury daily in the "fight for freedom". 7-11 not having power is a more important news story than the X number of Americans killed by cowards that day.
Stop this madness. Now.

I hate to agree with salty mud here given TK's recent painful breakup. But long term relationship do not in fact fair very well in the long run.
Well I don't know about that. I've been in a long-distance relationship for the last 6 months now. It's hard; probably the hardest thing I've ever done in my life, but it's working out.
In short: it's possible; hard, but if you work at it, and have a great deal of love and trust in each other it can work out.
Did it start as a long-term relationship?
If not, then it's a different situation.
If so, I concede the point that my observation is based on personal bias and anecdotes.
Also given the fact that a rebound relationships normally don't work at all.<I double posted only because I don't want my comments on this post to have any reflection whatsoever on my last post because it was a very serious post from me>

Not all relationships are interefered with by attacks from members of the Fire Nation.That's a fairly naïve thing to say.
Who the hell gets engaged as a college freshman (or maybe sophomore) anymore?
