I’m aware that this is probably a thing many people struggle with, their loved ones in the military. I’m one of them.

I’m proud of my gentlemanly fiancé. After all, he’s joining the military. But that’s the thing, after he turns 18, he will be signing up. My parents are very strict and we cannot actually see each other in person unless it’s somehow not considered a “date”. I have to be 21 to actually go on dates even if I am legally considered old enough.

Even so, he will be in the military, where there will not be a lot of time to go on dates.

I will not break up with him over this like one of his exes did. I am very proud that he’s joining, but I don’t know what to do when he’s away or to cope with loss.

Whatever I do, I won’t lose feelings for him.

    You are only 17 and you are his fiance?

    This world is vast and right now things aren’t looking good. It is takes many sacrifices for you and him to make it work. It is unfair to ask either of you to take such rush at such young age.

    With time, both you and him will change. They will be good people and your life will change. In 5 years, you will be a lot different from now.

    I don’t want to dismiss you but we all know it is inevitable. You should tell him how you feel but just remember life may throw you a curve ball. The key is to know how to hit a curve ball but not to make the curve ball straight.
