Welcome to the Drama
First and foremost I wanted to thank everyone who showed support while I was in Iraq. It really meant alot to see so many people I've never met say they appreciated me. It's motivation like that right there that keeps ya going. Thank all of you.
Now I'm back. I've been in Germany for 36 hours and already having the time of my life. I've still got responsibilities so I'm not packing the car for Amsterdam just yet, but still hooking up with old friends (vanilla, and "normal":lol:) and right from the start I find something that almost makes me wish I'd stayed in the sandbox: Petty Drama.
I suppose this is normal for most people, after 15 months, my gauge on that is rather skewed. I won't bore you with all of it, but I will at least ask for input on the one that's got me scratching my head, if you'll indulge me: I have a friend who's been as close to me as any one can be. Even if we never played together I'd still enjoy her company. Her kids look at me like the goofy funky uncle they never had. I care about her alot. Her husband is very close to me as well, like a brother. But he recently deployed before I got back. He's given her the okay to have fun without him, but under certain guidelines, one of which is Limits: Only once every 2 weeks.
Now, again; even if we never did anything more than watch TV, I'd enjoy her company, and we don't play that much anyways, but she's bothered by her husband's cut-off quota. And I'm confused by it. I don't personally mind, but it confuses me. So I start thinking.... "Why would he want to limit her fun?"
1) Worried about her reputation? Unlikely, I know most of her friends and even those that know us best don't know what we do unless they do it with us.
2) Afraid of whom she plays with? doubtful since she's free to play with whomever she likes. And she's more picky than I am.
3) Jealousy? Possible, but he's free to do as he pleases, albeit rather restrictive because we're: A - not supposed to have affairs in the Army, and B - not supposed to get lucky in the desert.
I've been assured that it is not me personally. Hell, he even let me drive his BMW. It may be none of my business, but still confuses me. And since it distresses someone close to me, I'm curious. I mean, I'm a simple guy; cut and dry. All in or all out. I digress, I've rambled. Opinions?? Thanks again.
