Subject: A little older, a lot more baggage

Question
Okay, heres the scoop. I'm dating a slightly older guy (I'm going to be eighteen next month, and he's 20). The age difference doesn't bother me, but, there are a few things that do. Number one, he joined the military as soon as he was old enough, and has already served two years in Iraq. He's seen so much, its so sad. He's a really sweet guy, cute, funny, intelligent. . .pretty much the kind you could fall for. Still, I'm worried. Because of his past, he kind of feels like any day could be his last. And because of THAT, he tends to want to rush into things. Or at least it seems that way to me. And I don't mean sexually, but emotionally. He really seems to adore me, but I don't want him to get too attached too fast. I just don't know what to do. He's an amazing man, and I don't want to lose him, but I'm still young and I don't want to rush into anything. I'm so confused. >.<

Answer
Hi,
You may want to talk to our army area for advice about army relationships. Also you may want to try our long distance relationship area. I think we both know this relationship won't work and it may stress him out more. Sorry,
Dan

If you are dating him and break up with him right now be careful. I recommend speaking to a psychologist for more information about this.

It's sad that we are in Iraq. I support the army and relationships can work, yet I feel this one  won't for a number of reasons. Sorry
