How do you make a long distance military relationships work?

My fianc茅 is in the army, and currently we live 1,100 miles apart. Soon we are getting married, and I'm moving with him on the base. But eventually, he will be deploying.

What im wondering, if there are any military SO's out there, how do you deal with movingnaway from your family, and then being left alone.



Some advice would be amazing.How do you make a long distance military relationships work?Get involved with base activities, get a job, go to school etc. There are spouses who decide to move back home when the SM deploys. There is no reason to be alone. There are plenty of support groups.How do you make a long distance military relationships work?You will be alone alllllot of the time. My husband left at 5 30 am and usually came home for lunch, then got home at around 5:30pm....sometimes later sometimes earlier. You will be lonely. No doubt about it. I was 17 when i got married and it was AWFUL at first. but it was also worth the sacrifices. i had neighors at our apartments who were dating soldiers, we all hung out allllllot. we lived off base. I advise having a job of a sort for sure as you will be so bored. Also, cherish the time hes with you at home( though sometims hell just be tired and want to do nothing after work). its very hard some days. just remember, you CHOSE this life. You knew what you were getting into. *** i also suggest going home while he is in training (for more than 2 weeks or whatever) and while deployed. its refreshing in a way. and it will help you while he is away. i did, and it was great.How do you make a long distance military relationships work?You get involved. The one thing you can't do is sit at home and throw a pitty-party for yourself. I won't kid you, it's not that easy. Every base has hundreds of ways for you to get involved. You just have to do it.
