I'm sort of seeing a royal marine commando, have been seeing him every so often, probably about 7/8 times since last new year. He's based in dorset and I'm in cornwall. When he has leave he drives 6 hours to come and see me, says that he hasn't slept with anyone even when he had a week in vegas, that he really likes me but that he's so busy it's difficult to keep a relationship. I've made it clear that if he didn't want me to sleep with anyone else then I wouldn't, but I would need a relationship.
He's so honest and nice but after carpooling with a navy officer working in culdrose, who was driving to see his girlfriend in london, I'm not sure. This guy said that they usually have most weekends off, wednesday afternoons and if you're working after 12 on a friday that you've been stitched up. This has made me really doubt my marine when he says he's workimg and I don't want to because he seems nice but scared I'm being played big time. I'm really into him.
Can anyone offer an opinion on how much leave/time off commandos get and whether he's being honest? |

It's true they usually get weekends off BUT they are often busy/tired/have lives etc
I know this for a fact as I have a family member that was a marine.
Regardless of that, if you don't trust him you shouldn't even think about a relationship with him. |

You've made it clear what you want and he's making it clear what he wants. They aren't the same thing. How much time he has off isn't really relevant because he's told you he's busy. |

Though I've not looked at your profile and how many meets you've had in this past year, you are the one on a sex site? If you want a relationship with someone, why are you on a swingers site and not pursuing that what you want? |

Exactly if you want a proper relationship and hes being honest with you about not playing with anyone else then you in turn shouldnt play with anyone else ethier unless hes cool with it. Trust is the cornerstone of any relationship. None of us are experts though and only you know what you want. Basically if hes the one for you and vice versa then go for it as you certainly are a stunner xx Good kuck to you xx  |

Sounds like it's never going to work OP. You each want different things, so whether he's 'playing you' or lying to you makes no bones. I think you probably already know you need to end it, but you're seeking reassurance.
You'll be ok! X |

Will the label 'boyfriend' make any difference?
He's driving hours to see you when he can. He's been honest and said he's not looking for anyone else.
If it's fun do it, if it's causing problems leave it be.

Marines in Scotland have the weekends off mostly and mine have plenty of holidays they can take.
Why do you care if he sees other people when you do too?
Is it that he might be lying about his time or that he might be having sex with someone else that bothers you? |

Military folk do get a lot of weekends off, but some also do on call weekends, they do a tough old job and are kept busy. a lot just want down time on their weekends or to stay local. Unfortunately driving 6 hours on a Friday regularly for me would be too much and then back again on a Sunday. I wouldn't say he is playing you but if you have doubts already I would think you would have to seriously consider if its worth that, and if you became serious, would you be willing to up and move closer to him? |

We met on a hook up site but it's evolved. I didn't initially want a relationship and I'm not actively pursuing a boyfriend but I really like this guy and I would give it up/already haven't met anyone for a while if he wanted more. He was gutted when I mentioned my threesome in September so haven't seen anyone since |

We don't know him, we hardly know you the only way you are going to get any useful answers on this is by talking to him. Taking to the internet to find out the future of a relationship is the modern day equivalent of casting runes and has the same usefulness. |

We talked, the result being this christmas will be the last time I see him- we both like each other but he's going into special forces and I'll only see him less than I do now. Too hard to keep seeing him on and off so it's better this way. |

Oh look, a know it all. You don't know him or her so don't lower them to your view of people. I have known forces guys through family members and the majority are decent, hard-working men. |

And the above is why you really shouldn't post personal stuff on t'web. She's said he's serious about his career and wants to progress to special forces. So the likelihood of him having a wife on camp is very little.
Those of you tarring our hard working forces with a big brush  really.
They do a damn hard job for no thanks, little pay and don't even get respect.
Merry Christmas to our serving forces, both those home and away.
Hope you return safe and soon |

Royals dont normally struggle with free time aside from when on guard rota, exercise or away on deployment. Free time when UK based is not normally an issue.
Sometimes I do wonder. There was 7000/8000 in the corps last time I was aware. The amount that turn up on fab or swingers websites, who are UKSF too, is unreal   |

Would simply ask have you been up to visit him , spent time near were he is stationed . Met some of his mates, they do tend to stick together when out on a social( piss up ). Does he show you pictures or come down in uniform . If not then would say your being played . |

"Probably being less played than his wife and kids though"
Have to agree! If you can't get hold of him at any time then tread carefully! Military guys are a law unto themselves and most play home and away!
Don't be fooled and depending on rank depends on their spare time!
Sweetie, move on!! |

I agree.. People who go into sf dont discuss it... |

I am ex-mil, so my take on this is:
As above:
1. If you are going SF you wouldn't say:
2. Are you sure he is actually a Marine? From the little you have said I suspect he isn't . Probably not in the forces at all. A real Mil guy ( or girl ) would be able to suss in a matter of seconds if he was fake. He is probably actually the bloke who sweeps the roads in the camp.
If I had a quid for each person I have met who has told me they are (or were) a Para, Bootie or in the SF, I would be a very rich man.

Not sure why you've changed your behaviour when he hasn't asked you to (saying you haven't met anyone since the 3sum coz he got upset about you meeting) but things like this are usually manipulation and i'd stay well clear even if he's genuinely single. |

I don't know, he hasn't messaged since I said that I don't think we should hook up anymore.
Like I said, I don't really know anything about schedules and stuff in the military, he did invite me over to base though, and I've seen his room and pics in uniform and doing stuff though so he's not a fake. I'm just going to leave it now but thanks all for chipping in. |

SF! more like BS! if you have been to the block and his wonderful z type, it still doesn't mean anything! My husband has one and we live 5 miles from work! Granted his room is full of shit as its just a store room with no bed!
Besides, marines do SBS! And if you aren't in a 'relationship' he shouldn't have told you!
Married unaccompanied is a wonderful thing!
I think the world of our foreces and the job they do! My husband has been on tour 5 times and is out again in January, i know how hard they work!

They choose to sign up, no one forces them, thats there career choice, which they are paid well for knowing how much my family members are paid that serve, why do military deserve a happy christmas yet every hard working tax payer doesn't deserve a happy Christmas.

Not read all you mail, but just think, it may be very hard to get into a relationship.
A guy may not want to commit or even want your commitment to such a relationship, is it self preservation, for both not just himself.
I Neil am not taking the male side, not ever question gets an answer, it's do you feel it's worth standing by him and waiting or not.
Penny and I went through a lot, I could never repairer her for all she has done for me.
May or maybe a help but ......... |

I'm sort of seeing a royal marine commando, have been seeing him every so often, probably about 7/8 times since last new year. He's based in dorset and I'm in cornwall. When he has leave he drives 6 hours to come and see me, says that he hasn't slept with anyone even when he had a week in vegas, that he really likes me but that he's so busy it's difficult to keep a relationship. I've made it clear that if he didn't want me to sleep with anyone else then I wouldn't, but I would need a relationship.
He's so honest and nice but after carpooling with a navy officer working in culdrose, who was driving to see his girlfriend in london, I'm not sure. This guy said that they usually have most weekends off, wednesday afternoons and if you're working after 12 on a friday that you've been stitched up. This has made me really doubt my marine when he says he's workimg and I don't want to because he seems nice but scared I'm being played big time. I'm really into him.
Can anyone offer an opinion on how much leave/time off commandos get and whether he's being honest?"
Yes, he's playing you.
Got mates in various branches of the forces, and this smells worse than last weeks leftover fish supper!
Best case scenario, he's just not that into you and scratches an itch now and then... worst case, he's married or attached. |

I grew up on army bases (Dad was Commando then attached to SAS) and served in the army myself. Learnt quite a few things. There are some honest fellas but a good 80% are world class liars.
Sounds like it just isn't meant to be.
He wants casual on tap yet gets huffy when you have a threesome. Wants the cake all to himself.
Now says he says he's joining SF when you say you want more. Not likely. His ego is bruised and that's his get out.
You've fallen for someone unattainable hun. Grieve it and move on |
