My son is also in SC in the USAF. Believe me, there is not much going on stateside military base. Sorry, military life isn't fun and exciting. The routine is the same, day after day after day. If you don't find just hearing his voice exciting enough for you, maybe he isn't the right one for you.

How long did y'all date before he was stationed is SC?

Hm, that puts things into perspective. I'm thinking that perhaps all my insecurities are coming internally. There are days where I don't hear from him as much, and that reminds me how much i miss him; and that makes it harder for me. My stress rolls over to other things in my life, and i fall behind on other things, which makes me even more stressed.

And we've been together a total of 6 months, we met online, but we've met up twice now. I know this is a common problem in relationships so I want to change my mindset a bit, so we can both enjoy our relationship a bit.

Yeah sorry, if you are connected for real, you will live for those calls. I had a long distance relationship many years ago that lasted for 2 years, before email, texting, Skype etc, and just the sound of his voice made me feel so happy and content. It was not easy to maintain a relationship like that but if there is genuine connection and affection, you manage it. You guys may not be right for each other.

I've been with my guy for over a year now. He is an over the road truck driver. There have been times when we rode together, but for the past 6 months I've been saving up money of my own, so we have been apart whenever he is working, which is a lot.
Distance can really suck, but I have to wonder if rmb may have a point. Were you "together" before this distance? Or are you trying to start the relationship without any previous foundation of up close dating/friendship? That could be a pretty big strain, I reckon.
A lot of the time my boyfriend calls me without much to say other than, "well, I'm driving... erm... in that one place we went together... yup. Driving along," but my heart still skips a beat when I see my screen light up with his name. And this is over a year into our relationship.
If you're already feeling bored at 6 months, especially if there is no end to the distance in sight, perhaps it's time to reconsider your commitment. It's possible that you just don't have enough chemistry and compatibility to wait out the distance.

I have to move often for work and have done quite a bit of long distance in the past. Everyone is right. Long distance is soooo tough, but the technology these days makes it so much easier! I also think that it strengthens the friendship part of the relationship, because you are forced to dive deeper into getting to know one another and how the other feels. My last long distance relationship we were always sending funny photos or photos of our adventures, wishing the other was there. Verbally communicating how you care, or saying you miss one another, or whatever it is helps make the partner feel wanted and loved, which is HUGE in long distance. Building trust and keeping it is essential in long distance. The reward is seeing one another in person because emotions are so much stronger. Good Luck!

Being with someone in the military is hard. My dad was in the military and every year spent 6-8 months deployed. My mom literally raised 5 kids mostly alone. It takes a strong spouse to be with someone in the military but if its worth it work very hard at it.

Long distance is difficult and if you've only met twice there isn't a lot of 'what's us' to hang onto

When will you see him again?
