Send your relationship question to loveletters globe. When we first met, I was still recovering from a series of rough breakups, one of them with my high school sweetheart. After about two years of missteps and talking, we started dating in the late summer of We remained friends, though we were both standoffish in our own ways, and it took until our deployment this year to fully reconnect and start talking again.
I told her the other day that when it comes to her, the only hope I have for the future is happiness on her terms. Maybe someday in the future. Making massive decisions about her over the next month seems unnecessary. Just see her, say goodbye, and then let this deployment be a real departure. There are other people capable of engaging with you that way. Welcome to the yo-yo treatment: She pushes you away, but keeps the string attached to pull you right back in.
