Also phone coverage isn’t that bad in the developed areas. I was able to FaceTime her several times a week
I did long distance for 5 years. Now we've been happily married for 27.
Awwwe congratulations!!!! 😁
long distance only works if you make it work...
I did it for two back to back seasons, not at Yellowstone but for USFWS. it was tough for both of us but we made it through. Maybe plan a time for them to come out and visit, it will give you both something to look forward to, and they can see what your job and the park is about.
You can do it! If it doesn't make it through it, it wasn't meant to be. Better to know now, then later down the road. Have fun! Enjoy working there!
I work with a lot of people who are married but only one of them wanted to come up for the summer. In most cases the other half comes to visit at some point. But, a lot of people do it. If it’s a solid relationship a few months reenergizing yourself shouldn’t be an issue. Good luck!
I did it. You can do it too. All long distance does in the short term is allow you to revaluate your relationship. I had time to seriously sit back and think clearly about my relationship and she had time to think about it too. We are now engaged:). If it doesn’t end up working it’s very easy to see that it was for the best.
