We broke up, he's going into the service soon, I'd like to try to at least be friends!

Question - (20 August 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 25 August 2009)
A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

To begin, I was in a serious relationship with this guy for about 5-months. It was the best relationship I ever had, he treated me with respect, we had fun together, shared a lot of the same interests and beliefs. I seriously thought he was "the one." Then out of the blue, he disappears after a stupid argument. We would have petty arguments at least once a week the last couple months we were together. They were always resolved probably within the hour, they were merely a misunderstanding.

It's been 2 and a half months since we broke up and I'm REALLY begninning to miss him. I did off and on before, but he did some really immature things during the breakup which totally made me turn the other cheek (he is 2 and a half years younger than me; I'm 25). There was quite a bit of name calling and he would basically prank call me (very childish, I know). But I'm really starting to think of what could be. He's in the military and will be leaving for Afghanistan in a couple months, and I'd really like to make contact with him, but I'm really afraid of being rejected.

I want to send him a short email letting him know that it was probably for the best (I lost my job and had to move back home a few hours away), but I would like to salvage some sort of friendship, since I don't want to have hard feelings toward one another and I do plan on moving back once I become financially stable again. Maybe this is something I should just get over and move on with my life (I've really been trying). On the other hand, he was everything I could have wanted besides what happened during the end of the relationship. Help :(

Im sorry but you clearly love this guy and not wanting to be rejected is normal I think for your own sake you should just leavr it be if he is the one he will come to you if you go to him and he does reject you it will only make you feel worse. I hope this helps. Good Luck
