AndreaJD Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 I was with Trent (and lived with him) for two years, and just about a month and a half ago he packed his things and left. Of course it wasn't that simple, we had been arguing a lot, but I figured we loved each other enough that in the end that wouldn't matter. During the course of our relationship, as long as we weren't arguing we were very loving and affection to one another, and we were always talking about future plans together. Then one day we got into an argument, and with no warning at all he said he wanted to leave, and he came and got his things and left. I tried to text him once or twice, and once I left a note on his car while he was at work, but he ignored my attempts at contact. In the meantime though I had talked to a few people who were mutual friends of ours, and they all pretty much said he was acting really strange and not very happy which gave me hope that he might want to get back together with me. But it was so hard because I wanted to talk to him so bad, but I didn't do anything about it because I knew it would push him farther away. Then to help myself get over things (yeah right) I went on a trip to Michigan with my friend, and while I was gone Trent left a note at my house saying he had stopped by to ask me a few questions. Well, a couple of days later I called his mom and asked her would she please let him know I was back, and that he could stop by if he wanted. Well the next day there was a knock at my door, but I honestly was not expecting him. But I opened it and there he was, and I was so shocked that I just stared at him. And I could tell he was nervous, and at first he tried to be 'professional' or something. He said he was there to make a payment on some money he owed me, and asked if I would write out a receipt for him because it was a rather large sum of money he owes. So I wrote one out but I was so flustered that I got the numbers wrong, so when I handed it to him he gently suggested I did the math wrong, so I wrote out another one and handed it to him (most of the time he wouldn't look at me). Then I sat down on the couch and stared off in the opposite directions because no words would come out, and he said "I'm going to be joining the marien corps soon...but I'll try to pay you the rest of it before I go in." Well I definitly didn't know what to say to that, so I kept staring off, and then he asked me if I was doing okay (it seemed like he had to muster up some courage to ask that). And then I started crying, which seemed to scare him because he hastily said "sorry" and let out a sad sort of sigh as he walked out the door. Of course, whatever progress I had made about getting over it was quickly shattered. I cried and screamed and hit things a lot when he left. I was also irritated because I had not used the opportunity to talk to him like I had planned. You see, he had planned on going into the Marine Corps, and I knew that, but we always said we would get married right before he went in. So that wasn't as shocking as it could have been, but it still hurt because I know that if he joins the Marines we'll probably never see each other again and I wasn't ready to think about that yet. Once he told me that if we ever broke up he was going to join the Marines and find me again when he had straightened his life out, but he was probably just talking. I'd like to think that's what he has in mind, but then again I can't wait on someone for years who might or might not ever talk to me again. But it hurts so bad. Plus, I'm about to move to Michigan. I decided I liked it when I was up there, but Trent doesn't know I'm moving, and I wish I had told him because now I'm not sure if I'll see him again before I move.
