Had some people wonder what happened to the blog. Well, I'm not an army girlfriend anymore so it seems pretty silly to write about it.
I've been trying for a few weeks now to write something that could do justice to the complicated nature of the end of our relationship. I might still but I right now it feels quite painful so I'll just give you the bare bones of it.
Between his mother's death and leaving for Afghanistan Craig began a sexual relationship with another woman named Diana, behind my back. Looking back I could tell that something was wrong but at the time I thought the change in him was only due to the loss of his mom. The relationship with Diana ended but Craig kept it a secret. I found out after he'd come here for his mid-tour leave. I came across some evidence, I confronted him, he denied it, I told him that I knew he was lying and he admitted that he had cheated. He offered no explanation for what happened, he just left. Those are the facts.
The most painful part right now is that I don't know if anything in our relationship was real. It's as if all the good feelings I had about it were based on lies. When someone lies to you so easily and so often it makes you question everything they've ever said.
