For the past 9 months i've been going through a rough separation/divorce. I wasn't husband or father of the year, but i don't think i deserved to be crucified, or cheated on. Due to some heavy slandering, the ex has managed to get a restraining order and get me in trouble with my CO (military). Since then i've made up my mind to do my four years and get out; start over fresh. I have a year left. Recently i met this nice woman and we have been hanging out a while. At first she was merely a catharsis, but naturally it went further. She even took me to a concert recently for my birthday. She tells me that she loves me, but i have a problem believing that these days. I often refer to women as "the other side." As if i'm at war. She says that she is not going to try to force my hand on anything, but i sense otherwise. I'm not afraid of commitment; i'm just afraid of someone being able to destroy me and cut me off at the knees. I'll be leaving this place for good in a year. What do i do?
