I don't want to stop him from his dreams but I can't walk away either so I'm just going to have to accept it. Just wanted to hear other experiences & how yous kept your relationship alive. We're so young we need some sort of guidance. Any advice is appreciated, really need someone to talk to that's in the same sort of situation. He’s away right now and I’m really missing him
Thank you xoxoxo

well only from my perspective 20 is too young to be engaged. i got married at 28 myself. not saying that you two are not in love but 20 is still way too young to be starting to think marriage and kids, as neither of you have grown.
if he does go OTR (interstate) he will be gone for periods of time. how much time? depends on him, his job and other factors. this WILL PUT a strain on two young people.
i say "let it ride" what he is doing for now, do not get married or have kids right now.
if he seems to really like being on the road, MORE THAN at home, then seriously, dump him.
as it is when he will be away, you will basically be a "single parent, single renter or home owner"...
you really ain't gonna enjoy all the responsibilities that 2 should share, which is what a relationship/marriage is.
best of luck to you and him.
