Need Advice Please

Hello there,

This is my first post. I really need some advice. I am in the Military and getting married in acouple of months. I have been away from my FI, since I am out training. I have been seeing a guy from the base that I am training at and he is really nice. The problem is I don't know if I should tell me FI about him, because I honestly think that when my training is over I will never see this guy again. Please any advice would help?

Do I keep it a secret from my FI or do I tell him that I have been cheating on him?

Thank You

    KC, if this is you, I'm going to die.

    If this is real, then you should break it off with your FI. If you care about him at all, then he deserves to be with someone who thinks he is the bee's knees. Someone who would never cheat on him.

    It's okay not to get married. Obviously you guys are not right for each other, and you should end the relationship. Get some counseling to figure out why you said yes when he proposed, when you clearly don't want to be in a monogamous relationship. 

    I've seen a lot of military surprise homecomings. It wouldn't work on me. I always have my back to the corner and my face to the door. Looking for terrorists, criminals, various other threats, and husbands.
  • Are you sure you are mature enough to be marrying your fi? I would think a mature person seriously contemplating marriage would hopefully value the bond of marriage and thus not need to ask strangers these questions.

    If you seriously plan on marrying your fianc? you owe it to yourself and to him to tell him.  Why would you want to start your marriage off with a lie? IMO if you don't tell him, it's just as bad as lying.

     What difference does it make if you never see this guy again or not? It doesn't matter if the guy disappears because your mistakes and past will not disappear.

    This is the start of your military career, you will spend many days, weeks and months away from your SO from here on out.  What makes you think you won't stray again once that happens again? 


  • I'm also calling MUD.  Just in case it isn't, you need to break up with both guys and figure out what the heck you want. Your FI deserves better.  How would you feel if he told you he was cheating on you while you were gone?

    Don't tell him.  Because we all know that the best way to start off a marriage is with lies and deception.  

    Seriously though, you're cheating on your FI.  Do you even want to be with him? It doesn't sound like you feel bad about it, so why are you still engaged to him?

  • I think you should continue with the marriage and try to have a baby as soon as possible. That will make everything better. 
  • Oh dear... Those crazy young enlistees :eyeroll: 

    Lame MUD effort too.

    Keep the FI and keep the boifrand. Then play this really fun game called "who's the baby daddy".

  • You should try talking to them and seeing if they'll both be willing to marry you.  Like at one time, in the same ceremony.  I hear it's the new trend. :)

  • I second the idea about getting knocked up. Post here again and let us know when your Maury episode airs.
