New to military relationships HELP!!

Well this is my 1st relationship with someone from the military and i have to say i am head over heels for my guy. We talked for about 2mths before we actually met so that was a plus. Downside he was just deployed this month. Another up side he said he loves me. Downside kinda wish he would have waited til he came back to say it because it just made things that much harder when he left. Alothough we have decided to keep are realtionship going. threw email.mail etc and i love him very much and don't mind waiting for him I already miss him like hell so to all you ladies who have been threw it already and suggestions on how i keep my self from going crazy (lol) with out him.

Hey Cecy....I'm not a lady,but my sister recently went through this. My brother in law joined the Army and went off to book camp for about 16 weeks. While he was gone there were times she would call my mother or myself crying saying " I can't go through this shit. " But we had to tell her that this will make her stronger and prepared for when he has to get deployed cause she got through with him being in boot camp.
My advice...make friends with the Army wives cause they will help you ALOT. Also my sister wrote to my brother in law EVERYDAY while he was gone. That's something you could do and when he calls...when he gets the time...DON'T tell him things that will bring him down cause that will make him worry and he needs to stay positive. That's why he's calling you. And finally,you're gonna have your days when you want to just break down and that's fine cause you love him and miss him,BUT stay strong and stay positve cause each day that passes is one day closer when the two of you will see each other again.
