I used to say that I would never date a military man, but here I am engaged to one. The truth is, until you have been there, you dont understand. You may think "that is just too hard" or "thats just dumb" (believe me, I did!)
The thing I love about our relationship is our ability to talk to one another. (I would really hope so, since that is really what your relationship is all about) You always know within the first couple weeks whether or not its going to work, if you run out of things to talk about, chances are, it wont. A military relationship is rarely "purely physical" because the truth is, you may go months at a time without seeing him/her. (Ever heard someone say "Im sexually deprived for your freedom?")
Im not trying to say that military relationships are easy, they arent. It sucks that I dont get to kiss him whenever I want to, or get a hug when I am down, but the truth is, my fiance is so worth it. There is nothing like that first kiss when you havent seen them in months. The point Im trying to make: it takes a strong person to be in a military relationship.
