#1 It's tough to learn life lessons while confronting Islamofascists on the firing line of the war on terror. Buck up, 22 year old, such a dumping can actually bring greater opportunity than loss.

#3 It was a different time & setting (post-Vietnam, onboard a guided-missile destroyer on a WESTPAC deployment), but yeah, you're right, some things never change. The unmarried guys in my work group formed a "Dear John Club" - all of us got dumped by our respective girlfriends while we were overseas (our Chief was married & stayed such after we got back).

#4 "It just stinks when you get the letter. She was my best friend," he said.

No she wasn't. A test of any relationship - even a friendship - is whether the other individual sticks with you through thick and thin. And your "friend" failed you.

#5 "She wrote me a letter to ask whether we could put it on hold so she could have sex with another man. Then she asked me if I could accept her having sex with another woman if I reject the man."

Sheesh! That is one cree-pee chick. Run, do not walk, to the nearest exit, and file for sole custody of the kid.

#6 Now this is something the enemy doesn't have to worry about *cough*.

You'll never see an:
Dear Abu, things have changed, can we still be cousins?

#8 Mike i was thinking about the same thing myself, sounds like he got rid of a whore anyway.

#9 "Dear Abu, things have changed, can we still be cousins?"

Oh, great; I had a mouthful of coffee when I read that.

I thought you knew Rantburg's first rule: never eat or drink while visiting Rantburg

#11 Dear John's suck but hey, you don't want some weak chick to come back to anyhow. If she can't take the separation, don't waste your time worrying about it. Press on, too many fish in the sea lads.
