Last week, I reconnected with my high school sweetheart after seven years apart. He’s in the US Army and is based in the US. Before he came to see me, we spoke on the phone, and he mentioned how he’s been wanting to marry me and that he’s never stopped thinking about me. He was serious, but I joked it off because he used to say the same thing when we were in high school.

He was supposed to come to Canada in September for a military event, but I convinced him to come earlier for the long weekend, which is when I saw him. We spent three amazing days together, including two nights at a hotel. It felt like no time had passed, and we both admitted we still have strong feelings for each other. He asked me to define who he is to me the night he was leaving and I didn’t know what to say, so I said he was my baby boy - it’s vague but I didn’t know what to say really

We didn’t have sex, but we tried. I was too tight because I hadn’t had sex in a while, and he said there was no rush. We were both sad when it was time to part, but since he left, we haven’t really spoken or texted much. It feels like I’m the one who’s reaching out more now, and I’m confused because he used to text me more frequently before.

He’s still planning to come back to Canada in September, so I haven’t seen him for the second time yet. I’m not seeing anyone, but I have a feeling he might be.

Do you think this is something worth fighting for?
