thelostgirl89 Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 So my ex was in the army did a few tours in Afghanistan/Iraq came back and got out and was diagnosed with ptsd ... I met him a few yrs later. We immediately hit it off and I couldn't have been happier. I have a small child, and have always been so cautious to whom I date if ever. A few months after he had an episode which I stayed through and we broke up when he said he cheated on me. Now about a year later... He came back to tell me that he still loved me and just wanted me to know that he never did cheat it was just his way to get me away from him when he got bad. That the whole time 'our love' kept him through everything and he owed me the truth. ... Enter navy guy... I have known him for over 6 years always have been able to talk to him about everything and he has never done anything to hurt me. We never really dated since we live too far from each other and we both don't want a LDR , but now he wants to put in to move closer to me ... Whom do I choose? The ex army whom I fell in love with, still care for but hurt me terribly in the past (I understand but it's still hard after so long) sigh.... Or navy, who I could see being my best friend through life if dating worked out. The friend or the chance to get hurt... What path do I take.... They r both important to me, and I would have tried moving on from my ex with navy guy soon if he hadn't shown back up. ... Too much pressure What do I do... And no I'm not dating either yet too confused. P.s. I just joined the army and haven't dated since my ex.
will1988 Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 go with the navy guy... even though I'm more partial towards the Army in general... in this situation I'd go with the sailor. Or door number 3! Which is, be single and wait until you find someone you can feel the spark for.
GorillaTheater Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 Definitely the Navy. Anchors aweigh, baby. 2
Sith Apprentice Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 It's not going to work out with either of them especially if you joined the army. Navy guy will be out to sea 6-8 months of the year. You'll have no time for him in the army and he'll have no time for you. I recommend being 100% single going into bootcamp. 1
