So here is my situation. I'm in the military and currently stationed in Georgia, and she is in Las Vegas. We meet on face book through a mutual friend. I starting talking to her, and we got along great, and like 4 months ago we officially met. Instantly we fell in love it was magical!

So a month after we met we started to officially date. We are taking the relationship serous. I went a weekend to go see her. I met her whole family, and she met mine as well! And I do come back for sure to Las Vegas in march of 2013. So I have a set date that I'm going back. And we have great communication. We talk every day at least for a hour. And when we have time we can talk for hours like 5 straight. We get along great it amazing how well we do.

But my issue is that with me being so far away, and gone for so long. I can only see her probably once every 3, or 4 months, and that's just for 4 days. Of course the reason for that is because I'm in the military. We love each other a lot. My question is realistically can our relationship really work? I love her so much! I miss her every second I'm away. Please give me feed back.

Sounds like you guys are on the right track. Is there any way for you to visit more often? Is there a possibility for her to visit you?

I Wish is right, it sounds to me like you guys are doing everything possible to keep this relationship going, and you both sound invested.

However, it also sounds like reality is setting in. Because realistically, maintaining long-distance relationships is difficult.

There are two options, of course. 1) Continue with the long-distance relationship, or 2) end the relationship and hope you two will date in the future when you return home. Assuming you and her are still single, the probability of you two having a successful relationship the second time around is greater than most break-ups considering it was left on good terms, and the reason for breaking-up was simply because there was too much space in between.

I'd recommend going with option 2 considering you have another year and a half of this and considering you already are beginning to question the feasibility of maintaining this relationship. I look at it like "quitting while you're ahead". LIt's something to think about.

Glad things are going great and you both are enjoying it. Keep enjoying it, as only time can tell if it's a success or not. When you are old, and have grand kids, then you will know for sure if it worked or not.

If I were you, I would enjoy the experience, and see if it keeps working.

Thus the issue with long distance relationships. What is any are "LONG" term plans, do one plan at some point to move to where the other one is
