Infantryman-
I met this really cute guy last year, and we hit it off right away. It seemed to be love at first sight; he was rich, I am cute, and we had a lot in common. We met, sparks flew; he said he loved me, and I believed him. He promised to take care of me 'for the rest of my life'. Feeling swept up in the moment, we made love. He confessed it was his first time; that I would be his first, forever. That made my heart go even further for him. I couldn't believe my luck... Even tho he was much younger than me, I could tell- this could be the one. Finally, the one...
Being it was his first time, it was over all too soon. We finished, and left the men's room. He went back on stage, and I went back home and to my room.
Now, I've carried his child and borne him a son, yet he won't return my calls or even acknowledge my existence. Tell me Infantryman, whatever should I do? How can I convince him I'm the one for him, and this is our child together?"
Sign me,
Men's Room Enjoyment
Dear MRE-
You're effed. Literally. Stone up- find a real man. Follow the uniform- he will never lead you astray like that, and will stand up for what's right. Here, you found but a boy; not a man you SHOULD have. Hear that knocking? Should be the cops coming for you, you molester, you. You need help, but not the kind I'D send for you.
For all you real ladies out there, check this out if you are seeking love. A real love:
Military relationships are challenging, but here are 7 good reasons to date a military man.
1. Conviction
Nothing says sexy more than someone who is putting his life on the line to protect your freedoms and rights. Joining the military is a choice; by serving his country, you know he has strong ideals and is willing to fight for them. And he'll stand by them.
2. He is in great physical shape
Let's not pretend that the fact he's probably in the best shape of his life doesn't turn you on. The rigorous training he is committed to is part of his daily routine, and you get to reap the benefits of his occupation's strict physical and dietary habits. We'll salute to that. Especially if he's in Special Forces. My God man, how can you top that one?
3. Potential for love letters
Because your relationship will probably be long-distance at certain points and for long periods of time, communication becomes essential. This means lots of emails, chats, phone conversations, and snail mail. The possibility of epic literary confessions of love is immense. While Dear John letters are also likely, the scent of his letters, and the anticipation of them becomes a burning desire...
4. Independence and co-dependence
Because he is often in unfamiliar environments, you know that he can take care of himself. He is trained to survive hostile circumstances and protect his fellow soldiers, so he knows what it takes to work as a team. He knows how to work together for a common goal, but he can also assess a difficult situation and figure out a solution on his own. This can translate well for relationships. After all, love can be a battlefield, too.
5. He takes directions well
The military is all about structure, order and rules. If he can survive taking commands from his superiors, you know that he won't mind too much when you ask him to help you with the dishes every once in a while—or when you start ordering him around in the bedroom. Just don't expect him to ASK for directions...
6. He can keep his room neat
Due to the discipline practiced in the barracks, you can count on him to pick up after himself and keep his personal affects in order. You can thank his drill sergeant for that one. And you can believe his sock drawer will be neater than your bra drawer...
7. The uniform
It's not just because the tailored cut of a uniform perfectly accentuates his physical assets. A uniform represents discipline, strength, courage, and fellowship—all traits that make for great partners. We are often attracted to men in uniform because of the message it sends to us: this is a person in a position of authority who can provide us with safety and whose job is to protect us from the dangers of the world.
