But putting off romance at 16 or 17 and replacing it with an emotionally strained and physically non-existent relationship with a girl in bloody Israel is not healthy.

Hooah, You have needs and she has needs don't do this simply because.
He always had the option of not doing so, and ending his relationship. I inferred from his post that he didn't want to do so. A "physically" non-existent relationship may be important to some; and even though I prefer physicality, a great many people wait before engaging in relations, and many people have done long term relationships involving temporary absences; such as members of the armed forces. If they wish to try this, there is no reason why they shouldn't.

But I am not so arrogant as to think I have all the answers. I am sure we can let Hooahguy decide whose advice he wishes to follow.
