Warning, this is going to be a long story, but its an interesting one.

I'm 25 years old and I used to live in WA, that was 2 years ago. My friend/boyfriend is in the Navy and we had only met once in person, the night right before I moved back to MO. We met at a barcade, a regular haunt of mine at the time, and we immediately hit it off. We must have drank and talked for at least 3-4 hours that night and we had so much fun and so many laughs. When I told him that I was moving back to MO he almost cried and said, "Damnit, ive been waiting for you my whole life and now your leaving me!" Jokingly of course, but I could see the seriousness hiding behind the smile in his eyes.

We kept in contact through Facebook because we really enjoyed each other and we kept in contact for a while, but when I started seeing other people we kinda stopped talking 😢 Fast forward to this October; I'm single and I get a notification that its his birthday, so I think why the hell not and send him a message congratulating him on another year of life and to hit me up when he can. He did that night! Turns out he is already over seas between Africa and Saudi Arabia, but it doesnt matter because we start texting each other paragraphs of conversation covering at least 6 different subjects for hours on end until he had to go to bed.

We have been texting and video chatting every chance we get since then and things have been getting pretty serious between us, even with him being on a ship thousands of miles away! We have talked extensively about our situation and how we both feel about it, and we both have decided that we want to try and make this work, even with the distance, and ive never done well with long distance relationships before! But with him...for him I would do just about anything, there is just a feeling I have in my heart and my gut telling me that I NEED to wait this out for him, that he is the ONE for me. I dont know how else to explain it...but ive literally never felt this strongly for anyone before, and I'm at a lose of what to do or think or feel...like the gods have decided that I need a trial of patience to see if I even deserve him. Hell, ive given up sex until he gets back here and comes to visit me on leave! The longest ive gone without sex is 6 months, I'm going on 2 months now and with him not being in the states my engine is pretty much dead! I just know that I dont want anyone else but him, he makes me feel things that I didnt know I could feel...

I just really needed to share because this is a very unique situation I'm in and I'm not entirely sure of things...what do you ladies think?
