DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

Starting to sound like a broken record.

I really am starting to sound like a broken record. My boyfriend and I can only see each other every other weekend so when our plans don't work out it hurts. We don't talk very much because his work schedule is very different so seeing him is a good way for us to connect. I know things will change this summer because I am moving back home (closer to him) but I'm torn as to what to do until then. I understand that many people in LDRs wait months even years to see each other but I am not ready to start distancing myself until that time actually comes.He is set to be deployed or restationed July 2014 and I have told him that I'm willing to do everything it takes in order to be close to him. I've tried to tell him how I feel but I'm not sure if he actually takes things to heart. For example, we haven't had an official date in a month or so. Why should I have to tell him that the next time we see each other I'd like to go on a date? Shouldn't he be able to figure that out automatically? He's a Corpsman I know he's got a brain in their somewhere haha For those who had to learn to adjust to distance between your loved one how did you manage this? Is it worth trying to communicate my frustrations to him or should I take another approach? I am in no way shape or form willing to give up because we love each other beyond words.

Well like my husband used to say: "Dina, I am not a psychic!" 

It seems like he should know but he is under a lot of stress with his job, so give him the benefit of the doubt. If you want to go  out, tell him. Tell him exactly what you want to do the next time and he'll understand. In fact it will make things easier, you're in a relationship now. Communicating about anything shouldn't be a problem, I know it seems funny to tell someone what you want them to do but how else do you expect them to know?  

Good Luck!

Haha yes that was my mistake for thinking all men are psychics. I guess it would be better for me to be on point and specific about things instead of "beating around the bush".
