Long Distance

I'm a U.S. Soldier deployed to Iraq. My girlfriend is currently stateside and shipping out for Air Force basic training any day now. The thing is, being that we are in two different branches, we probably won't even see each other for at least 4 years (since she doesn't plan on reenlisting), not to mention the fact that I've witnessed some soldiers in initial entry training remove wedding rings and cheat on spouses...should I keep the faith and ride the four years out or am I just being naive?

You need to trust in her an thy faith as well as thyself, some people actually can stave off that other attraction, just focus on what needs to be done an write lots of letters to thy love one, if you notice a change in her letters since she is only a girlfriend, then it really doesnt matter, but only then. I am Very happy to hear from you an Proud your doing good, I am American Muslim, alot of the Iraqi's I have communicated with the females are Happy Our Soldiers are there. God Bless America an you an all Our Soldiers there.
It you really love her and want to be with her and if she feels the same way about you I think you should ride it out. 4 years is a long time so if you don't truly her I wouldn't waste my time with it if I were you. I was in a long distance relationship once and it didn't work out. And that was only for a couple months.
I thought about it for awhile...I guess I'll ride it out. Besides, I wouldn't want to give up now, and then wonder if it would have worked for the rest of my life...that would really suck. Thanks 4 all the advice guys! :)
I think that you should know that the love you guys have for eachother wont change, with distance and time, but it would be selfish to think that you each wont have desires and needs that should be addressed. maybe you guys should have an open relationship, if you have tried the long distance thing and its not enough.
