"Are they, I'm talking about long in the tooth, been in all their lives and seen lots of shit. How do you get someone to feel and be sensitive when they've been broken down and built back up? " Dunno. My dad served in the regular army for over 22 years and then joined the TA when he left. Hes been married to my mum for 47 years. He's my hero too. | |||

"I'm ex services. I'll leave you to ponder that. ![]() Me too.. OP; I think you are making a huge generalisation..lots of civilians get broken as well.. | |||
"Like the one I know was married but she left him basically because of his job. He's adamant now that no woman can handle the amount of time he's away and shit. Said that he would only have another relationship when he's done his 22 and left. Now he joined at 16 but didn't join the paras till he was 18 so I dunno if they count from 16 or 18? Anyway this particular guy 'checks in' with me every 6 months or there abouts. Been like this for 3 years now since we proper dated in 2014. Like sometimes he doesn't even want a shag, genuinely just wants to hang out and watch films and just talk whenever he comes back from anywhere. Feel like he's so damaged but at the same time he genuinely genuinely doesn't need anyone, he'd happily be on his own for the rest of his life. I don't get it, he's like damaged but emotionally strong as well and I just want to smother him in love ![]() . Ahhh, I had a feeling it was him you were talking about ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | |||
"Just give the guy time to chill in his own way , if you can't handle that kind of relationship & you find it frustrating maybe he's not for you at this time ? " I can't give him anymore time to chill. I never bother him, I never know when he's in uk or not until I hear my WhatsApp alert (I put him on his own ringtone) I can't even sack him off cos he's isn't mine to get rid of and besides, he fascinates me. If I had someone significant in my life then I wouldn't meet up with him. | |||

He just laughs and agrees. It's like the one person who gets under your skin cos you know they aren't arsed. We won't end up together I just wonder if there's any link to being in a role like his where it's all guys and being so self sufficient and emotionally strong that you genuinely feel like you don't need anyone. | |||

"Love sucks doesn't it hun. I think you are doing the right thing taking him at his pace, but does he know how you feel? He may be holding back cos he's as unsure as you. Don't leave it too long in telling him if he doesn't know. Love can fade away and it's sad when that happens but we carnt force ourselves to feel what's not there. PTU xxx" Yeah I'm pretty sure he knows how I feel. When we were dating I told him and that's what freaked him out and was basically told not to have feelings for him cos he can't be doing with worrying what someone's up to back home when he's away and that he can't communicate and basically all the things his ex wife had told him she couldn't put up with anymore. He doesn't want me but he likes me if that makes sense, he's a dear friend who I do care about cos he's doing dangerous stuff I suppose with regards to the way the world is now. I have massive respect for him then and he's got a motorbike and a big penis and a nice accent! | |||
"My wife endured my transition back into civvy land, took a fews but she stuck by me, i still have trouble with emotions.. dont cry at funerals etc. But if a dog/horse dies in a movie, im blubbering! ![]() Not being funny but your wife would help a lot of guys in a lot of situations, she's über hot! | |||

You are describing him in two different contexts though, you describe him as his role in the army, emotionally strong, self sufficient, never needing anyone, yet something inside you see's something different, something feels a need in him to be loved, I'd say that you're not imagining that ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | |||

" Yes that makes perfect sense, best thing for you to do then Is love him when you are together but try not to get too attached as he won't be able to give you his all. I've had simler with a teenage love, he didn't want me when we were teen. He only wanted me for blow jobs. Now he wants me as adults but he can't understand why I've moved on. ![]() ![]() | |||
