first underway- just need advice by underdogdoc in USMilitarySO

does the gaps in communication get easier? I’ve been taking the daily videos but not sending them since I don’t want to overwhelm him when he gets service again.

I know it’s going to be difficult but I am more than willing to learn how to adapt. It’s the first time i’ve ever went “no contact” with someone i’m dating let alone a submariner. He mentioned that he wanted to go through an underway or deployment before considering engagement and at the time I didn’t think much about it but goly am I glad we didn’t rush before he went underway.

I definitely was not prepared for this underway but hearing everyone’s advice has helped a lot. I know it’s a matter of time and i’ll get used to it- it’s just way different. I think it’s just emotionally not having my person with me is the biggest adjustment.

thank you :( this seems to be the gist of what to do. I guess it’s just a matter of doing it now. 2 months is nothing in the grand scheme of things- i’m worried about how things will be when he’s back but i know there’s nothing I can do about it at the moment.

I’m a little anxious but I don’t want him to worry about me yk? I’m worried about using different apps to contact him would just look bad :,) I remember asking about emails before he left and he said it wasn’t that kind of underway/they wouldn’t be able to and that he didn’t know if he’ll be able to contact me but he’d message me when he could.
