I’ve been seeing someone for a few months now, and he’s explained he was in the marines for about 14 years and during that time, went on several deployments and was eventually in MARSOC.
I’m hesitant bc one of the first things he told me was he was missing with a few other men. Communications were down and they were stranded in Taliban territory- eventually made it back to base but it took a while.
My family has instilled it in me that people lie about their deployments all the time and I just want to be sure I’m seeing someone who wouldn’t do that. How would I make sure of that?
