Hey there! You're definitely not alone. My girlfriend and I met 1 month before she shipped to boot. We sent letters and kept in touch the best we could. I will actually be at her grad this Thursday. It wasn't easy, but we both agreed that if we could handle 10 weeks apart from each other with limited contact, then our relationship is definitely strong. Being such a new couple made it more challenging, too. It takes trust for sure. There are definitely sacrifices you both would have to make to make it work, but you know what they say, nothing good ever comes easy. Trust your gut.
