BrightEyes

An ex (very much ex) G/F of mine developed a fascination
for a USMC Non Comm during a deployment here in Darwin.

Under my nose (and without my knowledge) she built
this enormous fantasy based on letters and phone calls.

I found out and gave her a choice, me or the fantasy.

She opted for the fantasy, did a sneaky visit to his home
town (Beaufort?) and played up in a local motel with him.

On his next visit to Darwin he took up with a prettier and
younger girl and my Ex came to me for support.

She seemed surprised when I told her to go away, she'd
made her choices.

BrightEyes, unless you are truly in this with your feet on the ground, treat it like a live grenade. It can blow up in your face
so badly.
