Relationship Stress / by greenTurtle4480

...See more So I've gone through a lot of relationship issues. I've been cheated on and left for someone else in almost every relationship that I've been in. I gave myself a break, spent 2 years just trying to get comfortable with myself and worked on regaining all of my confidence before I started dating again. I met this girl and we started off very casual, which I liked. I wanted to take the relationship slow and let it progress naturally. "Whatever happens, happens." I told her. I was happy because i knew I had time. She confronts me within a month of the relationship. By this point I find myself in adoration of her. She says shes going to join the Air Force as an officer. I'm happy for her, that was a dream of mine once too. She then told me that she doesn't want a relationship going in. We agreed that we would end it when she goes to basic training.She hasnt really applied yet, as they aren't accepting applications. So I dont even know when my last day with her could be. It could be next year, it could be in 2 years. Now I feel rushed, anxious to spend as much time with her as I can and make as many moments with her as I can. I find myself hoping that she'll come back when shes ready after 4 years of service. Now I'm scared that all of my anxiety is ruining the relationship; not allowing for things to happen naturally. I'm terrified that I dont have enough time and dont know how to handle these thoughts so that the relationship stays healthy.
