<human>: My boyfriend just graduated and was lucky to snag a really awesome job within weeks of getting his diploma. He went to a maritime school so it was pretty certain that he would be taking a job involving the ocean and shipping out. Basically, he'll be working on an international cruise line that does 4 month tours. He leaves in a little less than 2 weeks and his first tour begins at the beginning of August. He will be gone for 
4 months and will return home for 2 months at a time. The money is awesome and the opportunity is amazing. He gets to travel the world! 

I love him with all of my heart and it sucks that he's leaving but I am so proud of and happy for him. I wanted to know if you guys had any similar experiences. Basically, I'm begging for success stories, relationships combating the long distance and strengthening due to the distance. We are staying together but communication will be sort of minimal I've been told. Internet on the ship is expensive and he works long days.  I want to marry this kid and I'm not miserable that he's leaving. Of course it sucks, but life will go on here at home. 

Thanks for reading!
