I have met an amazing guy who is in the Navy, at the moment he hasnt been given a date of when he will be going to sea for a long period so he is able to come home to see me fairly regular. We have only been together for a short period but he has turned my life upside down in this short period, I didnt realise it was possible to feel so comfortable with somebody so soon. At the moment whilst he is on land he is ringing and texting me every single day. Im just wondering if it will be able to survive when he does go away for long periods with minimal contact, because he is submarine based contact is pretty much nil. Any success stories would be great to give me hope and strength. Thanks x

When he goes away he'll be cocooned like a sardine with all his boatmates. (for some reason, submarines are called 'boats' not 'ships', and he'll be most impressed if you let him know that you know! Also, in a submariner's eyes, there are only two types of vessel - submarines and targets!) But I digress . . . .
He'll be unlikely to see the light of day from the moment it dives to the time it surfaces and you're the one he'll have been thinking about all the time he's away, other than what he sees in 'Mayfair' and 'Playboy'. Basically, you'll have no cause to doubt his fidelity once he's gone.
The big question is whether you'll find that you get a bit too lonely and seek some companionship elsewhere. If you can avoid that, there's no reason at all why yours shouldn't be a success story along with countless others in your situation.
One more thing - if you can - get yourself off to one of these professional photographers that do the makeup and supply the props so that he's got a nice reminder of you every time he slips into his bunk. And if you've got a polaroid, one for his wallet too. (:o)
