Leaving my Girlfriend before R-Day

Oops, I think I got in trouble with my first post. It's under review by moderators.

Actually it looks like my post is under review by moderators. I might be in trouble. No more Mr funny guy for me.

Hopefully they realize it was just judge humor ;)
 
Now I kind of hope they never allow it. I am afraid it wont live up to all the hype.

I thought it was pretty funny, and my wife laughed, but then told me I probably shouldn't post it as the SA forums are a fairly conservative and mildish group. Some might think my humor is racy; just because it is.

I will say this. It was only four words. Has anyone else been banned for only four words, or do I have the record?

I saw it, and I laughed so loud my dog jumped up and barked. Hysterical! But I'll never tell what I read. Definitely not appropriate here...but funny as heck ;)
 
Slightly off topic, but nothing ever happens to Trump when he says off the wall things, so I think you are okay brovol. No matter what is was, we still love ya. Everyone needs a little levity now and then......and I can only imagine.

I hope our young OP was not scared off. I can tell him that if his love is true, the distance won't matter, but it sounds like he really wants to call it off, but that takes courage and perhaps he will find it when the time comes.

True, but I don't have a spay tan, a license to change my mind on issues as the weather changes, a hundred million dollars, several bankruptcy discharges, and a group of loyal simpletons, er, I mean supporters, so the threshold is higher for me.

As for the OP, it ain't that complicated. Tell your girlfriend the situation, and play it by ear. If you stay in touch and see each other good. If not, that's good too. No need to chisle a break up statement in a stone tablet.
 
Spay tan. That should go straight to DYAC. Scary.



But for the patient OP, be your best self and have an open and honest conversation, even if uncomfortable and a bit likely to upset the status quo. That's the mark of a grown-up relationship. How would you like this discussion started with you? Go from there.

One thing to consider...

If you receive a "Dear John Letter" while at the Academy, how will that affect you?

My oldest DD received a "Dear Jane" email at 11pm (2300 for the military types) the day before finals in her second year of college. Needless to say, she bombed the final the next day.

So, if you feel something like this is going to cause undue stress during the academic year, maybe put your relationship on hold or have a very serious talk before you head out, especially if you think a break up during the academic year will adversely affect your ability to concentrate.
 
@scoutpilot its a slow news cycle. Still waiting on the cartel article to break, so reading total strangers give relationship advice seems like a good substitute. I'm truly surprised that more folks aren't arguing for him to keep a girlfriend. It's like the hallmark of so many senior leaders in the Army (Patreus, Sinclair, etc) that you would figure that our incoming cadets would want to continue the tradition.
