Alternative Long-Distance Relationship Advice...?

I've been seeing this particular individual for several months now, but unfortunately, he is in the military. This means that by next week, he'll be out in San Diego, while I'm here in Chicago. We agreed to keep the relationship alive, but allowed each other sexual freedom to make up for the fact that we can't be there to satisfy each other's immediate needs. We agreed to let the emotional part be reserved only for us, and to only be physical outside of this relationship when necessary. I care for him very deeply, and I'm afraid that this ';sexual freedom'; could lead to a break-up. We would be able to spend summers and Christmas together, but other than that, we can only communicate with e-mail or phone. Can anyone please give any advice? Anything at all? I care deeply about this man, but I'm afraid that in opening up the relationship like this, it could do more harm than good. I only have a few years of college left, as does he military service... Any advice?Alternative Long-Distance Relationship Advice...?
I'm with you...the sexual freedom probably isn't going to end up well. I wouldn't agree to that if you are really serious about him. There are other outlets than sex with someone to satisfy your needs.Alternative Long-Distance Relationship Advice...?
I would almost guarantee an ';open sexual relationship'; will lead to a break up.If you really both love each other then you can wait for the times you can be together.My parents were married and in the service for 37 years an managed to survive. Remember, you're talking about two different things, real, lifelong lasting love and cheap, one night stand sex. Not to mention the dangers of casual sex, pregnancy and disease! Be smart, if you love him, wait, it will be worth it.
