Molinit, I understand what you're telling me but I feel that it would be going against my heart. Why would I date other men if I love him? I don't want to put my plans or projects on hold for him when I go back home. I'll start new things on my own such as classes and work. However, I'll try this long distance relationship and see where it leads us. I'm 26 and I'm just ready to build a strong and long-term relationship. Unfortunately, school is in the way right now but I try to remember that it is temporary.

A part of me want to run back home and quit. On the other hand, I feel quite silly considering to give up because of distance and school - which is actually great to have ambitions. I knew we were going to do long distance relationship at some point in time. It was inevitable.

He didn't know he had more credits to take for school. I think he is telling me the truth; he left school for the navy and thought these credits would count. They do not really count after all.
He's also disappointed because he doesn't feel like going to school another whole year. But here he is!

He subscribed to school before being in a relationship with me. I know he left the Navy to have a better life and now that he's with me, I bet he wants a better life for us. I just don't know how to cope with the reality and the grief. I don't know how to accept the reality without losing him - I don't want to.
