Is there any chance you might be able to reconcile??? I don't think so. He wants to join the military since his dad has passed away and I'm not sure if that's the lifestyle I want. Oh that's too bad. ): I don't want to overstep but I always like to encourage people to hold on to their love for each other no matter what trials come up.  I think we're going to try long distance while I finish up school (3 more years). But it's just scary thinking of it all. I think that's good! If you are meant to be together you'll feel it and it will work out I think_comma_ if you just keep your conviction and stick with it. Good luck with it!  We have dogs and chameleons together_comma_ so it's like we're already a little family haha Aw_comma_ that's sweet! I really am hoping y'all make it through this together. (:
