Advice for military relationships?

Payton

My boyfriend is my best friend and he leaves for army basic training on Monday. We do literally everything together and I won’t see him again for at least 18 weeks. I have no other friends besides my family. I am going to try to keep myself busy so I won’t have so much downtime but there is still going to be a hole in my life.

Does anyone have any experience with having their spouse leave that can give advice for how they handled it?
