I will add to shiners great post
Advice for anyone dating a Cadet or Mid, you need to be a rock for them. They will have much stress, worry, doubt, failures etc.. They will not need added stress by their significant other complaining about them not returning calls or texts, Telling them how badly you miss them and wish they were home. Constantly asking if they still love you.
Or even telling them all of your problems.
Instead listen to them, support them, encourage them, tell them you love them and believe in them and their chosen path, tell them you will always be there for them and not to worry, tell them you’re proud of them, tell them they can call or text you anytime it’s convenient for them and you understand they’re busy, do all you can at the home front to support them, and ultimately, be their rock.
