Wow, is your life really that sad? You seem to have a pretty low opinion of young people of this generation. I find that especially surprising since you have a couple of college age kids yourself. I guess if we set the goals low, they are sure to reach them.
Our son and his girlfriend have made it through plebe year. Will they make it through all four years? Who knows. I hope they do. I would not assume that they wouldn't. If they don't try to be committed, I guess they won't will they? Their relationship has not interfered with school. Actually, they have each been able to focus on school and obligations because they didn't have to keep up each other. Is it easy? NO, but relationships aren't easy, even if you live in the same town.
Here's another tidbit - not all S.O. are girls...My boyfriend, later husband followed me in my military career. If you are willing to put in the work, it can work. That goes for everybody.
