I know it’s been 5 years since I last posted about Mr. Fighter Pilot (FP) but I will be more consistent in the future. So, here we go! First, I can tell you that I did not roll out of the car on the way back from dropping off the dog, although I wanted to. I can tell you that I got out of the car as fast as I could. I was upset and felt stupid…..I don’t know why I thought he would want to actually talk to me about who I was or what I thought about certain things. He only wanted to talk about how horrible his soon to be ex-wife was. This trip would actually set the tone for our entire relationship…..and I didn’t even see it.
He only had about two weeks left in the area before he had to move away. He was going to a training location before his next duty base where he would be a TOPGUN instructor fighter pilot. The time he had left was filled with spending time with his two children that were in high school and middle school as well as arguments with his wife. He would fit me in where he could and I would get an ear full every time we were together. He asked me if I wanted to drive up to his training location with him and then I would fly back home. I was so excited to spend time with him. The drive was long but the conversation was actually great. We laughed and got to know each other really well. Everything was amazing until…..the evening we made it to the training location. I happened to look over and see a text he received from his wife. It said, “So glad you made it baby. Sleep well.” That did not look like the text from a soon to be ex-wife. I immediately felt so stupid and wanted to get home as soon as I could. Of course, Mr. FP said that she was just trying to be nice and my stupid self fell for it!!!! Well, guess what?!?!? I would fall for things over and over!
