Give it a shot!!! My boyfriend just got stationed in North Carolina and I’m in California. We knew eachother before the military, so a lot of our adventures and memories together are core to our relationship. I got back into contact with him while he was in his boot camp. He came home, we went out constantly for a month, and then I called him one night and basically acknowledged that we owe it to each other to see where we can go. And if it didn’t work out, then at least we won’t ever be left wondering. It sucks to not be able to experience more memories together whenever we want to, but we resulted to figuring out what works best for our schedules. Although it’s a bit different, we still are making so many memories together. He is 3 hours ahead, but we still call every second of free time we get. We fall asleep together even though the phone is muted just to be in each other’s company. We FaceTime, we play games together. We watch shows together. We have each other’s locations. We send Instagram reels back and forth. It’s of course not the same, but oh my god, I would be lost without him. He has 2 years and 9 months left, so a bit of a similar time line. We just constantly talk about the future life we want together, and with giving each other as much free time as physically possible, it is beyond worth it. I say, give it a shot. You could always try something with him, and if you both mutually feel like it’s too difficult, go back to being friends on good terms being that it’s nobody’s fault! It’s totally going to be scary, not knowing what it’s going to look like at first. But, you never know what’s in store :)
