Rachrad Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 A guy that I used to go to school with started messaging me back in July while he was in Afghanistan. We instantly hit it off and he ended up inviting me to the marine corps ball. We continued to talk on Facebook almost everyday. When he came home for leave for about two weeks and we saw each other almost everyday. He took me out everywhere with him and intoduced me to his entire family. He even gave me one of his dog tags to wear and has repeatedly stated how much it means to him that I wear them. He met my family and formally asked my dad if I could go to the ball with him which is about 8 hours away from where I live. When I went down to visit him at his base he was always a gentleman. He payed for everything the entire time and intoduced me to all of his friends and higher ups. We took quite a few pictures together and he even payed $60 to get our pictures professionally taken. He added a few photos of us and so did I, tagging him in them. All of our friends and family commented on them saying how beautiful they were and what a good couple we seemed to be. After the ball was over I stayed with him on base for a few days until we could drive up together when he had leave for thanksgiving. When he was home we spent almost every day together, he was always the one to inneciate it. The morning that he had to leave to go back to his base he stopped by just to get the pictures of us we had taken together. During his ride up he called me many times. The next day he didn't really text me that much which was odd so I went on his Facebook to see if he had posted anything. I noticed that every single picture of us was hidden on his Facebook. The ones from the ball, ones that he had posted and even one of us and his family together. He has mentioned that he has been in a bad mood lately but I don't see why he would go out of his way to hide our pictures together on Facebook. At one point I mentioned how my dad didn't like me spending time with a marine because they are known to mess around with women to which he responded, "why would I post pictures of us together if I didn't want everyone to see us and if I had another girl?" But now he has hidden them. I know this is a silly thing for me to worry about but it's really getting to me. Should I be worried or am I just overreacting?
LivingDeadGrl Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 It seems weird he would do all of that with you and then hide the photos. Maybe he's not aware of it? Why don't you just ask him?
ExpatInItaly Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Strange, indeed. It sounds as though he doesn't want someone seeing that he has a love interest. He could be seeing someone else now or maybe he's reconnected with someone from his past. Who knows? Ask him calmly why the pictures are hidden now. Let him explain it. 2

If he seems instanty.annoyed or angry aftrr you ask him, thats a pretty good indication that he's being shady about something. Or just a belligerent person by nature which is a big red flag too. 1
winny Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Ok let's not imagine the worst immediately. You are pretty close to the guy... Just ask him frankly... His reaction/answer will clarify...
Author Rachrad Posted December 6, 2013 Author Posted December 6, 2013 I'll ask him once he is in a better mood. He said work has really been stressing him out causing him to be in a bad mood. I don't want to ask him something personal like that when he already has enough on his mind. I just don't understand why he would add the pictures, introduce me to everyone important in his life, and then just remove them. Obviously everyone has already seen them and knows we have something together. And it's only been about three day. I don't know how much of another 'thing' he could get going with a girl in just that time. Plus I was with him almost every day for a month where he was hardly ever on his phone and he was never sketchy about me seeing who he was texting. And he is still continuing to talk to me, not as much as usual, but that's understandable since he has had a lot going on at work. I don't think any new relationship could be forming in this situation. But I don't see any other reason why he would hide the pictures that he was so ready to show off before.
