It’s about to begin…

We will start this like an AA meeting. Hi, my name is Kristi, and I am dating a pilot. Now you may understand why I would need the alcohol. Let me explain my situation and why I am here. I have been dating this guy for two months now. He has been on medical leave, so we have had a good relationship from the beginning. He has only taken 3 corporate jobs that have only lasted a night or two, so we haven’t spent much time apart. Now, he will be leaving in four days for training, in Dallas and in Paris. I personally am not looking forward to this three-week “vacation”. He keeps reminding me about how it is going to be like this for the next few months and he’s not always going to be around, which, in a new relationship, is pretty damn scary. But, maybe I am crazy, I am choosing to stick it out. Start pouring! I guess that’s what I get for being so crazy about this guy. I know that it is going to be hell, and I know that I am going to get upset, but I am choosing to do it anyway. I’m not dumb, I promise. I just know how I feel, and I have to go with that. I’m going to miss him terribly - should I be feeling that way already? Hmmm… I guess this is now turning into a relationship advice column. So I guess I am here for the advice, and to give some as we go. If you have experience in this department, please, help me out. Anything that can be given is much appreciated. And, hopefully, I will be able to stick around long enough to give some advice too. All I know is that I hope it is all worth it. To care about someone this much and give it up would be tragic.
