Alexandra-Girl Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 Hello, I am new to this forum. This is my first post. I am looking for advice on my current situation from individual's who may have similar situation. Perhaps someone from the "brotherhood". Details: I dated an Officer in the Military a short time ago. The relationship went South. He turned out to be one of the most disappointing relationship's I have yet to encounter. I had decided once the relationship commenced that I would do my best to avoid any *military* relationship. (Yes I am aware this is stereotyping). I have recently developed a friendship with another man who is extremely nice. We have a great time together, he is funny and we are like minded. The problem I am seeking advice on is that I have been notified that he too is a Military serviceman. First, let me state that this alone has made me a little distant. Because this is a new situation for us both, I am hesitant to mention this ex in my past. I am weary that once I raise the issue that I have known another military member who is stationed at the same Base, he will have many questions. This will be awkward to say the least. I know that there is a "brotherhood" in the military. I am pretty sure he would not like to hear my comments on my ex's cowardly behavior. I could be disgracing one of the "brothers". Will this past relationship cause a stickiness to anything new with my friend? Additionally, I have some military stickers on my car that my friend has yet to see (I have always had a different vehicle when seeing him). How would I explain them without opening a can of worms??? Advice would be appreciated, Alexandra
