How do you deal with a long distance relationship?

I saw this on a tv show once. The husband was stationed in Iraq and the wife was back in the States. You and her should both get webcams. That way you can see each other in person! And you talk to each as if you were both in the same room. After the couple on tv got the webcams, their relationship improved a whole lot as well as their communication.
I hope this helps and everything works out.

Good luck!

I would definitely talk to her. let her know how you feel. maybe she would think about moving there. just let her know how your feeling. this should be something you decide together.

I know exactly how you're feeling. All of my exs were marines, and they deployed a lot.
The first long distance I had, was for a year. I didn't think it would work, but it did, and we ended up together for 2 years. The other relationship I had, he had to go to Iraq, and that was REALLY hard, with how crazy his schedule was, but we stayed together until he came back.
Itz going to be really hard, for you and for her. The most imp thing is communication. That is what helped us get by. Emails, calls, etc. We were always there for each other. And whenever we felt lonely, we would call... not go out and get drunk. And when we were having an argument, we would resolve it right there and then. I always informed him of what I was up to, so he wouldn't worry. And he did the same for me. I know you really love this girl, so give it a shot. She might be feeling the same way you are. Talk to her about it. Open relationships will not work. My friend did it with his long distance girl, and she ended up leaving him.
I have so much more to say, but this is getting long so I'll end it here.
This long distance thing, is a really difficult, but effective way to know if you two are really meant for each other.
I really do hope it works out for both of you. Let me know if there's anything else I can help with :)

I know how that could be. I was in a relationship for about 2 years and about 6months of it was a long distance. And we broke up because (you're right) I felt lonely and and we were both too busy to see each other( we were only 2 hours away). Long distance relationships are tough. I would say they usually don't work out. But I believe what's meant to be is meant to be. Because 3 years later, I'm back with that same guy. We've been living together for about a year now. And we are very happy together. If she means a lot to you, go as far as you can but when you do break it off, keep in touch with her once in a while. Who knows, maybe you guys are meant to be. But not just right now.

You need to talk to her about this on the phone. You both need to open up about how you are feeling. She maybe feeling lonely but that is no reason to cheat. If she is no longer in love with you then she needs to tell you so and not just let you linger on like this. If she is not willing to speak openly then take it as she is no longer interested and is probably up to no good. Does she write letters to you or call you or are you doing all the work? I guess you will get your answer from here.

First question soldier, is this a local or native? or is this one of your co-workers? Give me that info and the magic 8 ball will have an answer for you
