I am sorry your dealing with this. My ex was a marine and we were together for three years. He was 5 states away from me and it was very hard. I eventually moved west across the country away from friends and family to be with him. I was very homesick and not very happy. Maybe this is a suggestion. Since he is gone for so long is there any way you could move back home...the place where you want to live anyway...since he isnt there? Would he be willing to relocate his home base at least for the two years he is gone all the time. Then when the two years is up you guys can sit down see where your relationship sits and make a location decision? That way you have a stable location that makes you happy (since your there all the time and he is not) and it will be easier on both of you. If that is not an option you need to really sit down with yourself and him over the phone and talk about your options. Explain you love him and you want to be with him but you are not happy where you are. I say that if you really do care for him then i say stick with it for alittle awhile. Its very hard especially since its just 2 months in. Make sure you talk with him. Communication is very important in a long distance relationship. My ex and i would also have over the phone "dates". We would both rent the same movie and start playing it at the same time and watch a movie "together", we would go outside at night and talk and stare at the same moon and stars and that would make us feel closer (i know i know its corny but it helped! lol). We would send each other letters, even if we were talking on the phone, it just gave the relationship more romance and care packages, i sent a bottle of my perfume and he sent some of his cologne so we could have the smell (yes i know, corny again). There is an online website that helped me out alot! Its www.lovingyou.com it has alot of romance ideas that you can do when he does come home and it has a section for Long Distance Relationships and how to keep close to the one you care about. Good luck.
