So maybe two or three weeks after I wrote my last night, Aaron decided to break up with me. Not because he didn't like me anymore, but because he was being shipped to Iraq. I have to admit, this tore me apart completely. He said once he came back, we could immediately get back together. He also said the main reason of the breakup was BECAUSE of his deployment.  I was crushed, but no doubt, I had hope. I figured we'd at least talk while he was over there considering he had his phone and all. But, unfortunately, we grew apart.

   I think I mostly annoyed the poor guy. He'd send me an early morning text saying, "Good morning, love you" and all that jazz. I immediately took this as the beginning of a conversation. So I'd send him a text back with all of this crap about how I can't wait for him to come back and what I was going to do that day. He'd never respond back. I'd send him another text an hour or so later asking him if he'd gotten my text. He didn't reply again. I did that for maybe a month or so, but then I realized how incredibly obnoxious and clingy I was being. But then I thought maybe he'd want me to be clingy so he'd know someone at home loves him and misses him.

   He texted me maybe one time every month. I'd never respond on time because of the time zones. We began to grow apart. I started hanging out with other guys and began to realize that maybe Aaron was sick of me. I was depressed for a while to be honest. But then i got back into the dating game and started seeing another guy. I honestly didn't like him as much as I like Aaron, but this was going to have to be the way things were until Aaron came home.

   Two weeks ago I get a text from Aaron saying he's coming home and will only be in Georgia (where I lived- and where he lived for 4 months before being deployed) for a couple weeks, but he'd have to go back to Illinois shortly after. I was extremely excited to see him. He told me what day he was flying in and what time and I immediately offered to pick him up and bring him home. He denied saying that his ex wife was picking him up...

What... the fuck...?
