havehope Posted November 8, 2010 Posted November 8, 2010 skydiveaddict you're wrong - you do know much! You know that you deserve someone better than her. You know you're a great guy who will love someone again, someone who appreciates you. and I know that you can do this and you can heal. Don't let one cloud obliterate the whole sky - anais nin. (thought you might like that one, you know with the whole atmospheric-ness of that ;-))

(thought you might like that one, you know with the whole atmospheric-ness of that ;-)) Lol thank you for the Anais Nin quote. I just don't think I could ever love someone again like that. I know I should be over it by now, but I'm just not. It's a lame excuse I know, but still it's how I feel and think. It just won't let go. I think that damn war has a lot to do with it too. Maybe I'm wrong, wrong about everything. Maybe I'm just going crazy, that's probably it.
coltsfan1 Posted November 8, 2010 Posted November 8, 2010 skydive- my brother just returned home from his 4th tour and I can't tell you how many briefings he has went to telling the soldiers to call before they come home, to stay calm, all because things like your situation happen.. People can be so heartless I am still shocked to this day when he tells me stories about his soldiers and the things that they have been threw, just stay strong and know that it isn't you or the tour/tours you did, it was HER and HER alone!!

Thank you Coltsfan for your kind words. I suppose you're right. But I'm an E-6 (staff sgt). I'm supposed to take care of my guys, not come home a basket case. It's embarrassing.
havehope Posted November 8, 2010 Posted November 8, 2010 Don't be embarrassed! Really. Everyone heals at their own pace, and although we write our stories here, only we know the true depth of them, and the amount of pain we have to overcome. I know how you feel about not being able to love someone like that again - I feel like that too, esp since its been 1.5 years since it ended and I have yet to date someone. But there comes a time when we (everyone) are going to draw the line and say 'that's it. I'm done. You're not worth anymore of my time. I withdraw my feelings and emotions. I'm going to start living for me." We're all here for each other and that helps alot.
