Do I tell him I love him
Thu, 05-20-2004 - 12:43pm
I have been dating this wonderful guy for almost 4 months. SO is in the military, and I knew from the get go that he was PSCing in July and would be gone for at least 1 year if not indefintly. Since I had just gotten out of a messy relationship, I was only looking for a fun summer romance. Life is funny...it throws things at you when you least expect or need it. So of course I fall like a ton of bricks.

We have never talked feelings, becuase seriously....its only been 3 1/2 months. Who knows what your true feelings are that early. The first blush of lust has yet to blow over.

Well, the closer it comes to D-day, the more and more he is talking about his leaving plans. While I know its too early to marry him (i did pose this question on another site) you all talked me down. Smart Move.

However, I do feel the need to clear the air and well stop the d-day conversations.

I would like to tell him "Babe, I love you. And while I know that you are leaving, every time you diacuss it, it hurts. The more you push the issue, the more hurt I get and the more cranky I become. I dont like being that way. I just want us to have the best time we can for the next 6 weeks as see where it goes, if it goes then"

What do you all think?
