    Hi Matty, I’m a Marine currently engaged to a Marine and we have been stationed a part for the past six months. We are roughly 4 hours drive apart. I feel ur pain! Long distance relationships are difficult. I believe that you must possess maturity, commitment, trust and love. The little things do drive u nuts! I can really relate to being sick of phone conversations. Arguing is draining. Little things make you so angry because in the end,all you want really is to be with that person! I’ll tell you what has helped us. The whole mental side! We strive to be more patient and loving. We try not to react in anger- to breathe and wait until we can discuss things. That’s not to imply that we don’t argue, they are just less frequent so that lessens the break up factor. Daily we come up with sweet things to say and do for each other. Like you, our main thing is texting and face timing. It got to a point that I would feel anxiety if we didn’t communicate in a certain period of time, because like you said, it’s not like we can just see each other. I feel like I’m rambling, but u control ur emotions and ur part of the relationship. Try to turn around any negative feelings or routines. U will be surprised what a difference it can make. I know that you guys will see each other next month, but is there an end in sight as to when you can permanently be together? I know that this helps most people immensely, working towards the day that they can be together. 🙂 Hang in there!
