i'm not crushed over this or regreting my decision, was just curious as to how difficult military relationships are. it's one thing nobody really covers except to say avoid certain types of women.
Consider youself lucky. Many get their 'Dear John' via phone or email. One bloke I knew was so devistated, he drowned his sorrows by eating a box of Kit Kats (and I mean a box) and drinking tins (and I mean tins) of Coke. To top it off, she left his apartment open and it was cleaned out, including his medals from previous trips. He was gutted. In Nov 08, the police found his medals and other stuff.
As for me, my now ex, left me after 6 days back from Baghdad. I was home less than one month out of 15. All ones plans (early retirement etc) and future down the toilet. A home which was paid off had to be refinanced, and my life was turned upside down by this and post deployment issues. I nearly did a crash and burn, but had a little common sense left to pull my self up from a nose dive. I now struggle like anyone else. I am alone by choice.
Like I said, consider yourself lucky. As for me now, nearly 3 yrs later, the more I date the more I love my two Siamese cats.
