Hi Im Kim and my bf is leaving for basic on march 16th. He currently lives with my daughter and me so this is going to be a very big adjustment. We havent ever been apart so this is going to be really hard. Any advice on how to deal with the initial seperation and keep our relationship going?

Hi Kimberly,

 My husband went through a seperation not to long after we started dating. We talked on the phone as much as posible and e-mailed almost every day. We also sent each other cards every so often and I send him a couple care package with things he liked (candy, card, pict., ect). It worked for us, we have been married for 6 1/2 yrs now and together for 7 1/2.

 You will be ok, it will be hard I wont lie. But there is something about talking on the phone. Good luck :)
