Moving and coping mechanisms

Hi, everyone. I'm very new here and very new to being an army girlfriend. Currently, I'm struggling with the fact that we are long distance, more so than him being in the army. Recently, we've had conversations about what our future might look like in terms of living situations. He is due to be relocated to another base in about 18 months. I want to be closer to him, but this could potentially mean moving twice. I hate the distance between us, as I just miss him so much, but I'm not sure if moving is a viable option either. I value my friends and families opinions, but they seem very mixed on the situation and have no understanding of how I am feeling which make things even more difficult. I know ultimately this is my decision and should do it for all the right reasons, I guess I'm just nervous about moving to a new place and needing to start all over again.

Anyone else had this to contend with? How did you deal with it? Also does anyone know of any support groups for army girlfriends, I feel things would be easier if I could speak to people who can relate!

How long is “very new” to being an army girlfriend?

do you or he have any children?
