MJN Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 (edited) Facebook that his girlfriend is seeing somebody else. He really loves this girl and is so broken hearted over this. He is such a sweet guy, like a big teddy bear, I just hate for him to be over there fighting a war and having to deal with this emotionally. He was so upset about it that he broke down and cried when he was on the phone with his mom today. I know that tore my sister's heart to pieces. She could hear guns going off in the background, so I know that didn't help either of them. He's so ready to come home. I'm glad he's finding out about her before he proposed to her though. Thanks for praying! Molly Edited November 9, 2009 by MJN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalanamak Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Ugh, Facebook as the new dear John. I hope he realizes, soon, she's no lass for windy weather, and goes on to find someone more worthwhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asta Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Please don't post about when soldiers move (dates, months, etc.) People who wish to do harm to them scan the internet for information such as that. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elizabeth Conley Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I'll be praying for him too. This happens a lot. Many of the gals who latch onto young servicemen are fluff brains. I don't think anyone should marry before the first deployment, because that's the big test of her ability to love an absent man. Many can't, and not all of them are bad. Some just need more day to day interaction with their mates to be well-adjusted. The gal who let her new relationship be advertised all over face-book is a fluff-brain or worse - that is, if it's true. Often it's not. Any way, his fellow soldiers are very good at putting their buddies back together emotionally after these break-ups. Chances are he'll return a warier, wiser soldier, who has a better idea of what kind of woman he's looking for. He is much, much better off without this girl in his life. It's a good thing he found out before they had a marriage and children together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConnieB Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 My heart goes out to him. Please try to encourage him to talk with his unit's counselor about this....the last thing he needs right now is to have his head/heart somewhere other than on his duty. Distraction can be extremely dangerous. I know the guys tend to think that emotions are something they don't want to talk about with their military friends/leaders but it's important that he does for his own safety as well as those depending on him. As for the reporting of troop movement.....troops are coming and going every week.....the information that OP posted is not sufficient to help anyone wishing to do harm. We get more details in our local newspaper than "March". While I agree that you don't want to give DETAILS, a month is not detail. Had she said he's coming home on March 5 at XYZ airport that is detailed enough that it shouldn't be discussed. Fact is most families don't get true details until a very short time before arrival....they may know "in the next week" but not that it's Monday until a day or two before....and the newspapers have even less. I'm not bashing you for the warning, it is a good reminder anytime, just trying to make sure that OP doesn't worry that she's put her nephew in danger by her comment. She has enough to worry about.

TravelingChris Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I will be praying. Have him see the chaplain and the mental health people to talk it out. How awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikeBookBread Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Just another reason that I HATE HATE HATE Facebook!!! More importantly, he really needs to talk to a Chaplain...the feelings of sadness can be magnified exponentially while deployed. I am praying!!!

Starr Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I am so sorry. I'll be praying for him. I have a younger brother in the Army and know how hard these things are. Hopefully he is talking with his buddies and letting them give him support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
