writes:Hi All,I just thought i'd share with you how I met my husband. There will be people who find themselves in a similar situation and its a toughie so i'm hoping it helps.I had recently come out of a 2 year violent relationship and eventually my friends told me to start internet dating. I did so.I didn't want a relationship, just friendship at the time. Anyway, a guy messages me, very blunt messages and never charmed me.He had just been posted to fight in Afghanistan with the British Army.Anyway, we sent emails back and too when we could and one day he announces he will be home on leave and we should meet up to say hi (he didn't want a relationship either)I met him and we had a fantastic evening and from then on we spent every single minute of the day together for two weeks! the whole time we were both very aware that he had to go back to war.half way through his leave he told me he had fallen in love with me. I felt exactly the same. The last night was so hard, having to watch him leave and knowing he may never come backHe wrote to me as much as possible, letting me know he was ok and that he was still thinking of me. We had a 30minute phone call a week, i loved those calls! for 4 and a half months I ticked off my calender, counting the days until i could see him again.I will never get over the gut wrenching fear that something would happen to him.However, eventully he came home to me, got down on one knee and proposed!Of course i said yes!waiting those 4 and a half months and putting myself through so much pain and worry was worth it, it was a huge gamble but I had to do it.If theres anyone else in a similar situation, keep at it, stay strong.it is incredibly difficult, especially when you at home alone and you miss the laughter and being held and kissed but you push through and come good in the end.
