Need support... can it work?

[Cora]

I've met the most amazing girl. She's everything that I have wanted and more. We have so much fun together, we can stare at each other for hours. We get along so well, and have so much in common. My problem is that before her, I've had trouble getting serious. Have been hurt too many times, so a relationship was out of the question. I don't like commitment and don't ever have serious relationships. She's been hurt too, and she was a huge player. Now that we've been seeing each other, things are getting serious really fast. The funny thing about it, is that I don't care. I really like her, she really likes me... and I actually want a relationship with her. We are very open with each other and have great communication.

Well, the problem is that now that I have finally found someone I really want to be with, she might be getting deployed in February. She's in the Navy. I'm scared that I might actually fall for her, and then she'll have to leave. We both have trust issues and we both have problems with commitment. But we can't help but like each other. I see her every day and it's awesome... I really just want some support. If she gets deployed, she'll be back in 6 months, but by that time, I'm probably going to move again... I really don't know how this can work. Yet, the more time I spend with her, the closer we become and the more I realize just how much I like her. That's a big thing for me, considering how extremely picky I am and how I always find flaws in people.

What do you guys think? Can this work? Maybe I should try to control my feelings for her?

I started seeing a guy and just when things were new he signed up for the Coast Guard. I didnt think anything of it, because it was well over 9 months or so away. Well we became very serious, very fast and as the time got closer, it just became harder. We talked about it and decided that after his training was complete and he was finished with A school, I would move out to wherever he was stationed. Well I am very needy for the attention of the man I am with and I wasnt getting that from him. So after several talks we decided it would be best if we split for now and then once he was ready to be stationed, he would let me know and we could see where we were at...
Well after a few months I started going out again with my gfs just for fun and sure enough I met another guy who i am currently with and things couldnt be better.
I still get random texts from CG guy saying how he wishes things could be different and is glad that I am happy but he really misses me but it really is HARD WORK to stay in a relationship especially while they are at work for our country. They keep them very busy and its hard for them to find time for us. We basically become their last priority without them knowing.
I would suggest continue what you have now, but its best to let things go once she leaves...

Thanks Beckerr... I really appreciate that. You're right. That's what I'm gonna do.
I have such an amazing time with her... and I have sworn off everyone else. So I'm gonna just let things happen. I can't be afraid of being with her, especially since it would hurt her if I wasn't. She texted me today saying that if it was up to her, she'd never want to be without me. So, I'm gonna be there for her for as long as she needs me.
I liked your story by the way, it's sad but it really worked out for the best, didn't it?

Thanks again :)

You are welcome. I try to help where I can.

Yes, things honestly worked out better than I could ever hope for. Some people are stronger than others and can make it work but its hard work... I cannot stress that enough.

Just continue to make the best of things while she is here. Remember, its better to have loved and lost, then to have never been loved at all! :)
