Yeah, close but no cigar. I always feel like I almost get it, but I'm still bad at just going out on my own. I mean, I was just about out the door when she woke up, and for some reason I felt the need to tell her that I was going away to keep from snooping when she asked what was going on with me just doing things without her. I only ask because I was just sitting down with my coffee when she called me asking when I was going to be home. Still, even when she started crying on the phone about how hard all this was on her, I honestly didn't feel anything anymore. In the past I might have gotten up and ran back home to her, but instead I took my time to drink my coffee, and read a bit of, "No More Mr. Nice Guy." Just the first chapter of that book is revealing to me more things I've been getting wrong.
For example, being the guy that is more like a girlfriend than a romantic interest, i.e. I cook for her, run errands for her, and am just too anxious to drop what I'm doing to be nice that she may not find me romantically attractive. Thing is, OM2 is even more of a nice guy than I am (I know him fairly well) but she still had/has romantic interest in him.
Arc - No, I'm actually in the Air Force but stationed on an Army post. We work on close air support coordination through TACP's embedded with Army units when we're deployed.
