I have been with my boyfriend Liam, for a year and a half now, and it has been great, but has not come without its difficulties.
I have had to deal with scheduled and organised weekends, last minute changes to plans, not being able to see him on those lonely bored nights and most of all his month long trips away.
All of that, has been fine I can handle all of that. I, myself, like time to myself and don't feel the incessant need to be with someone constantly.
However, I have just been told he will be serving in Afghanistan for a tour of duty come September for six whole months. I seriously can not imagine not seeing Liam for four months and only having the occasional phone calls, its going to be tough, granted.
Yet, somehow, I feel that this could be a big, huge step for us that could turn into something positive. It will make me appreciate the time I do spend with him, rather than having stupid little spats at each other because one of us won't help each other cook tea or the rows we have for leaving wet towels on the bed. It sounds ridiculous, I know!
I intend to throw myself into my uni work, and now I have been giving the job role of DEPUTY EDITOR of Bullet Magazine, I feel my spare time will be taken up by this. I actually cannot wait. I hope that because I will be so busy with my uni work, my 10,000 word dissertation, my deputy editor role and fingers crossed a part time job, that the 4 months until Liam does come home for R&R will fly by.
I am hoping to turn my experience of this into an ongoing feature piece/diary entry into Bullet Magazine or at least on my blog so that I can look back on this as a sort of time capsule. Try and make something positive out of a bad situation.
Plus, Liam has promised me that we will be moving in together once he has come back and ive finished at uni, and I actually can't wait, I'm already looking for pink utensils to fit in with my PINK kitchen hahaha!
