Long-distance relationships are doomed to always end badly. Always.

Long-distance relationships are doomed to always end badly. Always.

True story -- when I was in my late 20s, I went out to dinner with a colleague from work. Her boyfriend was deployed to Germany at the time. Many drinks later, she was CLEARLY interested in hooking up because she was lonely and hadn't had a man in awhile. As I walked her back to her apartment, I made the decision to NOT ask her if I could come in because I had tons and tons of guilt about being "that guy" to the girlfriend of someone who made the personal sacrifice to defend my country. (I believe they call them "Jody's"). Still don't regret that decision to this day, as they are now happily married with kids (as am I).

I know, I know...cool story bro.

Since you weren’t that guy she probably found another one to fill her up in the meantime. You adhered to your principles at least, but I probably would have just been that guy. Way I see it is she’s going to do it either way, may as well be with a guy that will keep it discreet and not cause trouble for her when her man comes back. Good way to get killed, though.

similar thing happened to me and I was getting ready to deploy myself at the time (I was single back then) I was like no way.
