I need relationship advice. My man is leaving for 2 years?

So i have the love of my life and i stand behind him in everything he does, but he has decided to go on a mission (lds faith) and he will be somewhere else in the world for 2 years.. i want him to go but i am scared that i am going to miss him too much. I love him so much but not being able to hear his voice for 2 years and only getting a letter or email once a week is going to be a complete change from the seeing him everyday that i have now. i need guidance and advice to how i can be okay and make it through all of this... help please:)I need relationship advice. My man is leaving for 2 years?

It's not going to be easy.But if you love him enough than you will wait and just continue to support him and write him. But keep in mind its a long wait and you might end up breaking up with him. And when he comes home hes going to be changed, but Changed in a good way.It's up to you if you want to stay with him or break up. You could always take a break for 2 yrs and you could date other people and maybe when he comes back you could start where things left off.But its really up to you when you wanna do.Just saying its going to be a very long and hard 2 yrs.
Love is not selfish, it gives and that appears to be what he's doing. Show your love for him in another way, join him by reaching out and become a volunteer where you live now and the 2 years will seem to pass quickly.
I would suggest a web cam so you can hear and see him regularly. It's 2 years that you'll have to just accept. If you love him then don't stress so much and don't put the pressure on him and make him feel guilty.
You should be grateful he left and puts God in such a high priority in his life.





This happens for lots of girlfriends of missionaries. I'll bet you get to know him even better through writing.





It'll work out just fine.
It seems like he loves Humanity more than individuals. Try pointing out to him that you are also a part of humanity and get married while you are at it.
If he really loved you, he wouldn't leave.
ask him to bring a laptop with wireless web and a webcam.
ditch the dude or go with him
Wow, with the exception of tj there were some really bad advice-givers today. I'm sorry about that.





You're going to miss him. That's fact. It may not work out. It's almost a given. But it might not work out even if you were in the same town. It's just part of life. It might work out for you. But that doesn't mean you can't try and still write to him, record cassette tapes and send them to him (I know several girls who did that with their missionaries so they could still hear each other's voices). Keep living your life and ENJOY it, know is a great time in your life- everything's changing. Learn and grow while he's learning and growing, and keep reminding yourself why he's going and why it's worth it. Talk to women you know who married return missionaries. Don't try to hold yourself or him back, because that won't help anyone. And don't forget to pray.
You'll eventually start cheating.. Just break if off now....
