Hi -
I haven't posted in forever and I do remember quite a few military spouses on this board.
I am contemplating dating a retired career military guy. He spent most of his career in Europe and Asia, but he did deploy to Iraq shortly after 9/11. He seems like a very nice, confident, settled person and I would like to get to know him better.
I am a little gun-shy (pun intended) of getting involved with anyone in general, and I have been fooled more than once by a wolf in sheep's clothing. Plus, the media highlights vets who suffer lingering issues from being in combat.
So, what, if anything, should I be aware of? Should I ask about his combat service or avoid it? Are there any red flags to look for? Or, should I just treat him like anyone else?
Thanks!!
Susan
