He's almost 33 and I'm 39. We had been dating for 7 months. He didn't tell me that he had applied before we met. He didn't tell me until a few weeks before he got the call. I am still in shock but reality has hit that we are obviously on very different paths in our lives. I could never see myself as a military wife or in that environment. I'm a career woman, don't want kids at this point. If he had told me when we first met, I would have ran the other way. I am very attached to him and he is a really nice guy so it makes it very hard but I had to break it off because what kind of future do we have together? At this point in my life I am looking for a real relationship with a man that is available physically and emotionally. Military life is very hard emotionally and physically on the body and mind. He is not in a position to give me what I truley want and deserve. He signed up for 6 years. He's 99% sure he is going to Iraq. We had a nice talk and I wished him the best.

You are correct, the military is a tough life and you move at the drop of a hat, I was single during my time in and noticed the married people have a tough time because of deployments and changes of station, you did what you had to do, hopefully you both will find you true happiness.Good Luck

I had to stop after you said that environment. Because if I read on I was going to say something that I regretted. You have no idea what that environment is or what it takes to survive in that environment and I am talking about military spouses not the GIs. So dont even go there. Get what you deserve? What makes you think you deserve anything? You deserve what you work for, nothing else. SO he cant provide you with what you think you deserve, guess what he is better off without you.

There is a saying that goes, If you love someone, let them go. If they come back, they are yours. If they don't, they never were. There is someone for everyone, & everyone has a destiny. You followed your path, he followed his. Maybe someday they will cross again. Maybe you just werent right for eachother. But for now, be happy. Best of luck...

i'm surprisingly advantageous no be counted the place you flow interior the states there will be some place to board a horse. you probable isn't waiting to take the pony over seas if and whilst he gets stationed distant places. you isn't waiting to flow with him in some factors distant places like Korea, Turkey, and different places. the protection tension is very difficult on a marriage because of the fact the protection tension comes first. Be arranged for this and be attentive to your boy chum will exchange on an identical time as interior the protection tension. this could be maximum sizeable after preparation. stable luck.

That was rotten of him to not tell you. You don't need that in your life if you're not comfortable being in a military relationship.
