What should I do about the situation?
I've asked this before but it didn't seem to get answered...
So the dilemma is this, I started dating this girl late 2002. All was great, we dated for a long time I never thought I could care about a person more than this girl, I was young at the time I guess but I was almost sure this was what love was. Well we dated into 2003 and I signed up for the Marines and when I told her she didn't seem to have a problem with it. Well a month before I was to leave for training she dumped me for no reason, I have no idea what could have happened...there was no explanation. I was broken and puzzled when I got out of training to find she was dating a guy we knew from high school who I really didn't like (he was a tool, one of those guys that every girl seems to like for some reason they seem to like cocky assholes). Well I served 4 of the toughest years I have ever had in my life and recently finished my time as a Marine, am very fortunate I have made it out having seen so many of my close buddies and friends pass before my eyes. But now after getting back, she wants to get back together? She found me over facebook and I am utterly perplexed why she would even ask to get back together...she dated the biggest asshole in the world when I treated her with respect, kindness, and dignity. What in the world do women want? I am in school now (reason I joined the Marines, to pay for my tuition and pursue my dream as a biomedical engineer, to help others) I just don't have time for drama, and why would she put me through a hard time before I headed off to do one of the biggest things of my life? What should I do? Do I take her back or take it slow? Should I even give her my time?
Thanks

I think you need to take some time for yourself, you've been through a very hard time and need to stand on some solid ground right now. After all of the drama you have already witnessed you don't need any more. She wasn't there for you when you needed her most and ok, we all make mistakes but what if God forbid you didn't make it out alive? You would have gone away with a broken heart when you needed her most.
I would just focus on your career and your future, you deserve a lot better than you got, perhaps this guy treated her like crap and she realized what she had in you but relationships are 2 way streets and let's face it, I don't think you will ever get over what she has done. I would let her know that you can be friends but a relationship is out of the question, that what she did crushed you and she deserted you when you needed her most. Perhaps someday it could happen but not right now, if she really cares she will accept this and remain your friend, if not, well it's back to status quo with her anyway. I am sure there's a girl out there who will be there for you when the chips are down and not just when things are good. Good luck and thank you for keep us safe, we appreciate your service.

I don't think that you should even give her the time of day. She left you and went with someone else and pretty much used you as a fallback. When all else fails she wants to resort back to you. Sounds like you have a got a good life ahead of you I think that you should find someone better than her that is not going to just up and leave you for no reason. Obviously she didn't love you in the first place or she would not have hurt you in such a way that she did.

My boyfriend is going into the army so I kind of understand. It's difficult to deal with so she tried to seperate it completely. I'm sure she loved you very much and what she did was a bit selffish but she probably wanted to end the pain ad dins a replacement for the whole in her heart. Take it slow. Maybe friends. If you truly think that she loves you with all her heart then maybe give her a second chance. Everyone deserves at least one. But be on your guard. Good luck and thank you.

slap her in the face with a prosthetic arm :D Nah seriously man, if you wern't happy with your previous responses it means you didn't the answer you were looking for. It sounds like your trying to justify taking her back to your friends and yourself, which is fine. If you want her, thats up to you, you don't have to answer to anyone.
Take it slowly with her, let her earn your trust before you start being serious though.
Goos luck xx

That's messed up how you just left. I would be mad, but that's weird how she didn't get mad. She probably didn't get mad because she was interested in someone else and was ok if you left. Who cares about her you know? She didn't care so why should you care? I suggest don't waste your time she was just using you.

take it SLOW. make sure she is really feeling you until you feel its right and find out why did she dump you and make sure she has no boyfriend if she does don't waste your time
