Howdy y'all, my gf (22f archaeologist) and I (21m sociologist) have been dating for about a year and a half now and she just recently started a CRM job working in the field and she loves it. It's everything she wanted it to be and more. However, the time away from home has been difficult for me to manage. We started couples therapy and so far we're both determined to see this through and we've started making long term plans for the future, and to be frank I'm deeply in love with her and I'm dedicated to making this work. But I was a very lonely person before I met her and the transition has been immensely difficult. I want to travel with her but unfortunately I am poor and financially independent, and a full time student so time off is hard to come by. Does anyone have advice? Success stories? I've mentally committed myself to what seems like a very long road that seems difficult and lonely and I'm looking for a spiritual pick me up
