*EDIT* I was super emotional and misspoke. I did meet some cousins and went on a "family" vacation with 2 of his Army brothers and their families after our 2nd (3rd?) time getting back together. Meeting his parents and kid was such a big deal to me.
Logically I know this (thanks to this...
Hi Everyone, it's been a while! I just read ThorDogsOfThunder's Push/Pull thread below and I could have written it myself! I wanted to share my story but didn't want to jack her thread :)
I met my vet in October 2014. I first posted about it here: How Do You Control Your Own Emotions...
Yea, I think that was probably it:oops:
We've been talking all morning as if it was a "normal" conversation...and he'll be home in March to go to his brother's wedding...to which I'm invited...is this that "push-pull" I've read about?
ARGH!!!
So I resolved (literally this morning) that I would let him be since I've sent two emails in the last month that he hasn't responded to...and what do I see 2 hours later when I check WhatsApp?? A "happy holidays" message from him from his Saudi number:shifty::mad::confused:
*sigh* :cautious:
*digging up old threads*
That works to a T, lol!
I haven't seen him since that argument. He's since deployed and went we 5 months without talking. Then I drunk called him on WhatsApp one night (knowing he wouldn't answer) and he surprisingly texted me back the next day. We chatted a bit but...
I haven't talked to my vet since our argument, two weeks ago today (https://www.myptsd.com/threads/how-do-you-control-your-own-emotions.54346/)
That argument stemmed from his belief that I will cheat on him while he is in Saudi Arabia for a year. I mean he is fully convinced. At first I was...
Thanks. It's officially been a week and I'm missing him like crazy! I did text him twice: "Hey" Saturday and "Happy Father's Day" Sunday. No response, as expected.
What makes it suck SO bad is we had planned to spend most of next week together AND he leaves for deployment on the 17th. BUT...
I also realized that it's not just me. He blocks out his closest friends and family members too. He's recently deactivated his Facebook page, as a way to get his head together...
Thanks @FridayJones and @Sweetpea76!
I think another problem we both share is basic relationship "rules" so to speak. We were both single for a long time before we met, so that alone is a hurdle! But we're a good fit so we try to work things out when we piss each other off. It's funny, I...
He usually goes a couple of days, without warning. Sometimes I can block it out and stay busy. Mostly it drives me nuts tho...
YUP!
Funny, I've mentioned something like this and he gave me that, "are you kidding" expression. As if to say he feels he puts in more effort *shrugs*
I learned these two the hard way this weekend. Showed up unexpectedly, professing my love just got me even more hurt. Initially, I thought we had talked it out but he eventually wanted me out of his space. Said he loved me but he needed to get his head together. *sigh* I'm still learning.
