Hi ! My boyfriend is in the airforce and hAs been for sometime now and we've also been in a long distance relationship the entire time we've been dating now we have one month left to go before we move in and it couldn't come slow enough ! but I feel like everytjme were apart its hard for us to focus on our relationship cuz we have two diff lives going on.. Although we have one month left I feel as if though this is the ultimate test waiting for this last month and living together.... Anyone have any advice that's ever been in a LDR? Maybe another military spouse
I've had a girlfriend move away before and we kept it going. It's definitely possible as long as you both keep your heads cool. You also have to be really sure that you want to make it work, it is not easy, but if you want to put in the work you need to have your own life. Too many people get obsessive in a long distance relationship because they are working so hard to keep the relationship going they forget about the rest of their life and everything around them starts to suffer and they rely more and more on the person they're with and that's why you see so many jealousy problem in a LDR.
So my advice to you, is to keep an active lifestyle, go out with your friends as much as possible and have an overall good time and don't let being in a LDR inhibit your life in any way.

@burgler09 Thanks for that advice ! That's something I definitely need to start focusing on is my independence before we move in together. My family says I'll miss it ! & i have notices the jealousy before and i know its because we cant be a part of eachothers enjoyment right now .. So thanks for that little piece of advice ! Appreciate it !
My niece just got engaged to her boyfriend who has been overseas for a year. They didn't date that much but they talked a lot using skype. I never thought she would get married at least not for a while. She was totally against marriage until this guy came along.
Wow ! That's awesome because i can kind of relate.. I definitley know he's the one just us having stuff going on through out the day on top of not seeing one another makes it so hard to make sure we're both happy .. Reason being we're moving in together ! I'm so super excited ! Thankyou for the advice !!
Before getting married my wife and i were in a LDR the $300 long distance phone bills were worth every penny. I can remember that last month apart and how much of a toll it took on both of us. We both worried that we wouldnt be able to have that same fire we once had and i clearly remember her ending our last phone call pleading with me to hurry home and never ever leave her again. To this day i never have and we never talk about that period of time- it was like it never happened.

You have a month to go. Take up a hobby or read the Harry Potter trilogy or something. Your problem goes away soon.
