I knew her for a long time..... I wanted her for a long time...... One day Fate put her in my life.....and I loved her, for a short time. Another day put someone back in my life that I loved before her.. In a very short sighted decision....I left her for another. Hindsight is 20/20.... Very few days have passed that I haven't thought about her and the bad decision that I made. Many days have passed that I couldn't find her, didn't know what was on her mind on in her heart....I moved on, again Today, she calls my father, she misses me...wants me to call her I'm not really in a place to do that right now....or should I?
Everything happens for a reason, she wouldn't be attempting to come back into your life if there wasn't something related. If it were me, I'd communicate with her as soon as possible, sit down and discuss everything... and I mean everything with her. Wants, desires, thoughts, whole 9, top to bottom. That'd be step one, the rest.. is what you feel within your heart. We cannot give advice on which way to let your heart steer you, which it will ultimately on its own based on exposure to one, the other, or both of the women.
I can't really say much else on this, other than.. take it slow, rationalize it, and your current situation and don't run into it unprepared. You're ex-mil, so you already know what happens if that occurs. CMIF isn't the acronym you want associated with this.

Prof has made some good points. You have to decide where your heart is and know why she has got back in touch. If you are not careful you could step back and lose everything for nothing. But you will get in touch, you would not ask the question otherwise, you need validation for what you want to do. Good luck, take care.

Yeah, it's true...he is my best friend....
He's telling me that I have to call this gal...and quit effing around. She's the only gal that I've ever been with that he "approved of" and liked......

To be honest I'm surprised she would get in touch after you doing that, I could not. But there must be a lot of unfinished business between you. I will say again, take care and good luck, maybe you are lucky enough to be offered a second chance.
burt, you already know what i think you should do, but its up to you ..sort out how you feel, then make a choice.. only way to move on one way or another..
Life is far too short for "what if's",or "shoulda,coulda",I have to say call,talk,and talk aloy,lay it ALL out on the table,nothing to loss,possibly something to gain,at the very least you'll be gaining peace of mind.
No offense man, cause I don't know you....Stop being a dumba** and do what your heart says is right! We both know what you're thinking, so just effing DO it man...You have my full support bro!

Thanks to all for your sage advice. I know what I need to do, just have to make sure that I'm not looking back with rose colored glasses, ya know. I'm probably gonna give her a call, though, if for nothing other than to say I'm sorry about how I treated her. Thanks again, ya'll.

Today, she calls my father, she misses me...wants me to call her
