Where have I been and whats new!

Tuesday 12th April!! My last blog update! If I have any readers left you must be totally disgusted in my lack of loyalty to the blog since then.
My apologies but I do have a very interesting update tonight, first off both myself and my partner in crime have met men! Proper, actual, real men! I know it's hard to believe but in the space of a couple of weeks we had both met men who seem to be turning out as totally amazing, nice gentlemen.
I can't update to much about AJ's without her permission but needless to say it's going VERY well.
Mine on the other hand, well I'm not holding back on the information i'm about to enter in this post.
Navy, 26 (only slightly younger), Scouser (gotta love that accent), 6ft 1 1/2 (taller), cooks, cleans, and is the one of the nicest men i've ever met. In the whirlwind 3 months we have been together we have been on holiday abroad, met both sets of in-laws, he's even passed the test of meeting my friends and surviving! I'll even go so far as to say i'll bet my bottom dollar i'll have a ring before the year is out! In fact I may go to Ladbrokes and see what odds I can get!
I thought my days of actually finding someone to settle down with had passed and I'd had the one serious relationship I was ever going to get in life but whilst it's only been 3 months it feels like years. We have so much in common, he is like the male version of me. Everything we say, think, do is the same, it's actually quite scary for others to know there is a second version of me out there but there is and i've found him!!!!
I think the blog may take a different turn now i've become a navy girlfriend (NAG) it's not quite as attractive as WAG but you have take what you get I suppose.

Just how do you cope with a man in the forces?

The longest he has been away is 3 weeks but I managed to speak to him pretty much every day as he wasn't far from land and by the miracles of mobile technology was able to communicate. Then came summer leave and we spent every single moment together, now he has has gone back and delivered the news to me that on Monday he is going away for 2 weeks, he will more than likely be on duty the weekend he gets back and then they are going away for 6-8 weeks. So it will be a minimum total of 8 weeks most of which he won't be able to phone so it will only be email communication when the computers are working. So what I would like to know is how on earth do you get through it when they go away. To go from spending so much time together to nothing is quite scary, whilst we haven't been together long I can't remember what life was like without him. How do you cope? I am dreading Monday morning, saying goodbye just for a few days is hard enough but this feels like a lifetime that we will be apart.
Bloody typical, I've met an amazing man yet he's away all the time, I've already told him I am compiling a list for when I manage to corner the captain and explain to him just what I think of the unacceptable amount of time away. I think he will keep me away at all costs now, let's face it, it's pretty likely I would actually have that conversation.
