writes:I've been with my boyfriend for a little over a year. We see eachother every weekend and only on the weekends because it's somewhat long distance (he lives in NY and I'm in NJ). I love every minute with him, but I miss him so much during the week. I never really thought that I would ever meet someone that I click with so well. We've never even argued let alone had a fight.The thing is, this summer he'll be going into the academy for the fire department. That means 12 hour days and weekends to rest and get done what you need done. He's tried to prepare me for the fact that we'll be spending a lot less time together for that 6 months, and I know it's only six months, but I can't go six days without feeling like I'm missing something. How am I going to last 6 months without him? I don't really know what I'm looking for anyone to say, I guess I maybe just need a little encouragement if anyone feels charitable.

I may seem young in years, but in life experience, I've probably seen and gone through more than most. This relationship is something that I cherish, but it is not something that consumes me. I have other things in my life that come first, but to know that he is there means everything to me. I have a four year old, a job, school, and a lot more that I am responsible for. I am often over stressed, but he is what keeps calm through it all. In just a few hours a week, he takes all the fear and stress in my life and makes it go away. He's the most amazing person I've ever met, and that's what I'm afraid of losing.

 Here's a suggestion that I didn't see posted. Have you thought about writing him love-letters while he's away? ...yeah, that means backing away from the computer and actually using paper and pen! I'm sure that he can get an address to send things to him. That might help the time pass...
And for the record, 6 months will pass faster than you think it will. It's a drop in the bucket in overall grand scheme of things. You can make it!!

Its your age that makes you feel like this.in this age people in serious relationships just want to spend most of the time together and keep other things aside but this is not life all about.you should appreciate your bf that he still considers you in picture and feels equaly responsible to you .all are not this lucky.so put this thing in your head that whatever time you ar sacrficing now will pay you off in future.
one of the loverules says that love gets stronger when two meet after a long time.so just plan out the days that you will be spending together and give him more understanding and care as he will be working 12 hrs a day!!quite hectic!!
Be in love forever.

 True friends are people who are there for you,
people who care about you,
and people who love you.
Wherever they are, they are forever etched in your heart.
Time and distance are important between friends.
When a friend is in your heart,
they remain there forever.
I may be busy, but I assure you,
you are always in my heart!
