I met him my freshman year of high school, he was a senior. He became my closest guy friend, and I eventually lost my virginity to him at 19 years old. He was in the Air Force and stationed in a nearby state. I actually met two of his girlfriends when he brought them home to meet his parents. Every other visit home, he would spend the weekend with me but told his partner that he was visiting his parents. This went on for almost three years. I ended it when he hooked up with an acquaintance while he was in town and I was too sick to hang out.
