Is this going to be as hard as i think it is?
Here it is,
I've been going out with this amazing girl for 5 months now, she really means everything to me, she's kind, loving, passionate and very attractive, also, she's about a year and a half older than me. But I'm in the Royal Navy, and I've been based in HMS Caledonia for the past 6 months or so, which meant I could return home frequently, so we could see each other, but now I've found out that I'm going to be going away for 3 months or so, then I'll be back for a couple of weeks, and I'll be away again.
Now comes my problem, I'm not too sure what to do, my dad was in the Navy too when he met my mum, and they've been going out since they were the same age as us and this year they're married 25 years, I'm just not sure what to do, I've been told it's going to be very hard for the both of us, but I know i can stick it out, I'm worried about my girlfriend but, I'm so deeply in love with her, and I do genuinely believe she's the only one for me, but I don't want to put her through all this, even though she's insisted on waiting for me.
What should I do?
