Single Mom-Militray Relationship?

Question

I am a single(not single at the moment) 23yr old mom with a 5yr old. My sitiuation is my boyfriend and I have been together for 8months and are happy together. Though I know eventually I would like something more within time. The other day we were talking about our realtionship about my expectations and his. We both are on the same track. I am ready to transfer to a university soon and start on my career. My question is I know eventually he will get deployed it is just a matter of time, how do you make it work? I know I love him dearly and I know it will be hard but I just want to hear some advice? I also look at my son because they get along so well he acts almost like a dad to him since his father isn't too much in the picture. My BF is in the navy but attached to the marines and has four years left. And Another ? is what about when he returns from deployment how are things usually do you pick up where you left off or start all over again to the beg.?

Answer 1

Well first and Foremost Good Luck On Your Path to a Education, second it takes alot of Work Being a Military Dependent, If the Love is there You and He will Not have to pick Up where You Left off it is a automatic feeling, one thing that should Be established is the Moral Support that You can Give him and He give You , That is what will make Any Military Relationship Work

Answer 2

From a Military brat....it is going to be hard. My whole family is military or married military and they all tried to express the frustrations of a military relationship as I got older. I took their advice and steered clear, but that is just my opinion. If the love is there, then why not throw caution to the wind a go for it.

Answer 3

You if your man gets deployed, love & support him and everything will be fine. It sounds as tho your headed in the same direction and that's great. I hope everything will turn out the way you want it to. GOOD LUCK
