I Am the Girlfriend, Fiance, Or Wife of a United States Marine
Well... I haven't been here for a while but I need advice from girls that know what waiting really means.
For those that don't know the story here it is--- When "my" Marine left for boot camp we weren't a couple, we had dated and stuff but he said he wanted to take it slow and he knew how much waiting sucked and he didn't want that for me.
Once he graduated, I didn't get a chance to see him, he was busy with all his family. When he left he told me that he just really wanted to focus on his education that he wasn't telling me no, he was just telling me not right now.
Well while in Palm Springs he met some chick that lived around or close to base or something like that. And by this time, I was crazy busy with school and work and getting a promotion, we barely had time to talk. And I feel like this is where I went wrong, I lost him. He started to go out with this girl, and he told me he said he was sorry and that he loved me and that I was super special and sweet and he never meant to hurt me and he would always love me and that if I ever needed a friend or anything he was there for me.
They dated for 5 months were we sorta kept in touch, and then in May he got stationed in Japan. And the girl cheated on him.They broke up. He was badly hurt and still is hurt.
So we talk more now, sort off than what we did when he had this other girl. But we still don't talk as much as we use to or as much as I would like to.
A week ago I told him that I still felt the same way I had when he had left for boot camp. That everything I said then still stands now, and I have been waiting for him. I haven't dated since he left and I really don't want to.
The thing is that he wont give me a straight answer, he said that if he came back from japan and I was still here for him, then we could talk, then we could sit down and have a relationship. I don't understand why he cant have a long distance thing with me. I do not mind, and I've been waiting for him when we aren't even a couple and I have been faithful, of course I'll be faithful when we are one.
My civilian friends tell me to let it go, that it's not worth the pain and heartache that i'm going through. But gosh he is the first person that I feel so strongly about. I don't want to give him up with out even having a chance to find out if we could make this work.
What do you all think? Am I a pathetic loser and should let him be? Or do you think if I sit here long enough I might get my chance? Is it pointless? BTW he is in Japan for maybe 18 more months.
Sorry its so long, i just really need help.
