Seven years ago I started a relationship with a Marine and the whole first year was a fairy-tale. We had a fabulous relationship though I lived back home and he was away in the military.
He asked me to marry him and I said yes but we decided to wait. I spent my summers in California with him, he took leave to come see me.
Every year, our relationship seemed to get worse. By the 3-4 year I was constantly in tears, he would ignore me for months and was very cruel. Even when we were together he was cruel. It seemed he didn't care.
He came home from Iraq in Dec '03 and asked if we were still getting married. I thought on our history and though I loved him DEARLY I couldn't see a future with him. I told him, "no" and we parted, never to see each other again though he called once two years later to try to get me back. He was discouraged to find I was married. A friend tells me he is still hurt.
If he cared enough to pine away for three years, why didn't he treat me better?
