[FilleBelle]

You have to know, too, that it isn't so much the "regional" part of his job that's keeping him away as it is the "reserve" part. Once he's on a line, he'll (probably) be home at least a little more.

I've known my boyfriend since he got his private back in high school and we've been dating for the past seven years. (Where the heck is my ring, already?!?) I live in California, he lives in Texas, and he's based out of Virginia. I see him about two weekends a month. Painful, but doable. As everyone else has mentioned, I have a very full life independent of him.

Welcome aboard!
