Relationship Fell Fast And Hard For Combat Veteran

[prayerwarrior]

I pray for my vet daily. I ask for help for him, and I ask for patience for me. It is tough. My vet was contemplating suicide, and when I found that out, I realized that I love him, but I am afraid to tell him that, because I don't want to ruin a friendship. Eventually I will have to tell him how I feel, but for now, I am willing to wait, and I continue to pray.

Aw!!!! Noooo!! That brings tears to my eyes! And to know you love him...he has so much value and I want him to feel that. I could offer no advice on admitting your love but I will pray about it. These guys steal your heart.

the hard part is his understanding and knowing his value. So I will support him with all that I can. I want him to be happy, whether he will find that with me or with someone else, doesn't matter. the other thing that is difficult, is that I am so firmly in his friend zone. I don't know if I will ever get out of it. :-)

I absolutely agree with you regarding them knowing their value AND you want them happy no matter what. Men don't think about love and relationships the same way we do. It's a dance (you know...you were married). Just be vulnerable and things have a way of working themselves out :)

No worries, WaveRunner, you didn't take over. :P I appreciate the insight from others experiences. It's nice to know I'm not alone.

You are so not alone. I hope you find the feeling of hope your post gave me tonight. You didn't know it but you spoke for both of us. Hang in there. He'd be silly to lose you!:)

Wow, prayerwarrior, I'm honestly amazed by you. You seem like an incredibly caring and giving person. I don't know if I would have the strength to be in your position. I hope things work out for you.

WaveRunner, thank you. You're very kind to say that, I appreciate it. It is hard, but I believe it's worth it. He's truly my hero, and I'm sure the other ladies here feel the same way. I wish they could see themselves the way we see them.
