writes: Hey..Me and my girlfriend have been together for 3 months. we knew eachother before we started dating thru my ex-girlfriend (they had a falling out before we got together so it;s not an issue). Anyway we didnt talk for a while then before i came home on midtour leave from iraq we started talking again on myspace and realized that we had a lot in common. We hung out every day pretty much when i was home which was 18 days and really fell in love. were perfect for eachother but even after my tour is up in a few months we wont be together. ill be home for a month and then ill be living on the other side of the country. she plans to move with me when she finishes school about 7 months after i get back. she also talks about marriage and spending the rest of her life with me etc etc. is it stupid to base a long term, long distance, serious relationship off only about a month and a half of actual time together?

I am in a LDR for almost a year now. It's going very well. We met online and realized we had more in common than our likes and dislikes...he knows all my family in his area! I have visited him once and he has visited me once both times our love for oneanother grew. I am planning to move to his area in the spring. We will then do the weekends together thing for a while...we will be about 50 miles apart, currently we are 3,000 miles apart.
My point is if you clicked, it can work.
I wish you luck and safekeeping!

It's always hard on relationships being away on tour, I really think if you can hold a long distance relationship with this girl and she is happy with that, then you should give it a go. I'm sure you will both make time to see each other when you are on leave.

No actually, I think you're actually pretty lucky to be thinking about your future so soon. It shows that your girlfriend is 100% happy about being with you without any problems. Your future together may not happen but why not talk about it? People who are in a relationship at your age group most likely think about thier future with thier partner, no matter if they ARE in a in a long distance relationship or not.
Good luck!
