Monte,

A long distance relationship requires an enormous amount of work. While I am in no way underestimating your feelings for one another. I could’nt help but ponder over you saying that in order to be with her you have alot of “life changing” decisions you have to make. Relationships require some sacrifices on both parts. You can’t change your whole life to be with someone and nor should they ask of you. I think you both need to find some middle ground and if there’s a way to make it work I say go for it. But realize the work and effort it will take. But most importantly know your limits as well. It will be hard to love and stay optimistic when the one you care for is thousands of miles away. But if you both want it to work then great. If you want it to work and will do whatever to make it happen, including giving up what makes you happy. Then I think you will be in for a rude awakening.

Dear Monte,

Considering everything else you and she have on your plates a long-distance relationship certainly seems untenable.

While you are away from each other communicate as you can – old-fashioned written letters, email, etc. – and see each other when you both agree to do so. You can’t make her do anything she doesn’t want to do, only let her know how you feel.

I’m sure it doesn’t help to know this, but considering your age chances are this woman is just the first of several loves you will have in your life.

Sincerely,

Suzanne White Montiel

You need to realize that long distance relationships just don’t work. You can stay in contact with the girl but let her know that you are moving on and then do it. There are a lot of girls out there.

It is time for you to mature and grow here. Going into the military will help you to grow up and take responsibility.

Best Wishes
John Wilder

She is the most important thing in your life because you don’t have a life of your own. You grew up under your parents’ care then ran off and joined the military, which means you have never had a true taste of a real adult life. So how exactly do you expect to have a real adult relationship with someone else who is clearly in the same boat?

Forget about her and focus on yourself. Learn to make your own rules and what truly matters to you. Figure out who you are and what you want to do with the short time you have on this planet. Use your fleeting youth to travel, explore, take risks, and learn to love yourself and respect yourself as a mature independent person. Then and only then can you meet someone else who has taken the same journey and then and only then do you have a shot at a truly long lasting committed relationship. Have as much sex and as many flings as you want in the meantime (without getting a disease or making babies). Just do not, under any circumstances, take any of this seriously at all.
