IWalkAlone Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 Over the weekend I watched a documentary about Iraq, and one of the solders made some unkind remarks about girlfriends who leave their solder boyfriends and the guys back home who date their them. Well, I'm the guy on the other side of that. For the past few weeks, I've been dating a woman who's ex-boyfriend is serving in Iraq and is not happy with the breakup. My point of view is that I've found that women who show a romatic/sexual interested in me and weigh less than 200 pounds are few and far between. This is the first sex I've had in more than a year, so I don't feel its fair to be told I should pass up the opportunity to date someone attractive & fun to be with. I've been dumped by women for other guys many times and have been told that's just the way it goes so suck it up and move on. So am I not entitled to romantic/sexual attention because some other guy thousdandsof miles away conciders her his personal property?
Gunny376 Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 Well there Jody, (That's what we military types call guys like you), its all so much bitter grapes, bitchin' and complaining. I wouldn't sweat it ~ any Solider, Marine, Sailor, or Airman knows that just part of the deal, a chance they're taking when the signed the contract. Is it fair? Hell no! But, what's fair got to do with anything! Its just the way it is!
Enema Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 Without trying to turn this into an enlisted vs civilian debate.... it was his choices that put him in this situation. If the woman chooses to break up with him and see someone locally, that's her choice. You should be only paying attention to what she wants, not what her ex-boyfriend feels is fair.
