I fear I’m losing the plot. Tomorrow is my boyfriend and I’s 10 month anniversary and he is deployed. He was for our 8 and 9 month anniversary and I need help remembering why I’m doing this. My very best friend of 20 years just revealed to me that she isn’t supportive of our relationship because he is very very preoccupied with his job. I love him but I’m hurting and lonely. Why do those of you who aren’t married stay in it and stick it out? I have ups and downs but I’m just in a negative place right now and I need some positivity from others who can relate. Please remind me why I’m doing this if you can.
