My girlfriend won't let me join....
So my girlfriend won't let me join the Marines, saying "she doesn't want the military as any part of her life"
It's been my life long dream to join the Marines.
What should I do?
-
Unless your in a shitty spot in life I wouldn't do it. I know plenty of marines, and they don't recommend joining
-
My now ex (we were together for over 3 years when I joined) didn't approve of me joining the Air Force but agreed to try and work through it. When I got back from basic I felt like she resented me and didn't like who Id become and we ended up breaking up over it. Oh well it was for the better because it's what I want to do with my life. You need to do what's best for you and not rely on a woman.

25 RepliesUs as Americans are ALWAYS in a war. And 90% of the time there bullshit. Do you want to risk your skin over oil? I have my opinion (it's pretty obvious) but you think about it!
-
Join if you want, just don't expect your GF to stick around.
-
Consider things from her perspective. What part of being a military wife (or girlfriend in this case) sounds appealing? Your partner never being home? The only communication being like skypeing 10 minutes a week? The constant fear that if your partner is deployed somewhere dangerous they might never come back? I'm sure you have your reasons for wanting to join the services, but you need to weigh that against your girlfriends concerns. It ultimately is a matter of whether you care more about how you feel, or you care more about how she feels.
-
Any woman worth being with will support your dreams and let you join up.
-
Depends how serious you guys are.
-
Break up with her

I was in the exact same boat (that'd be a pun if you meant English marines) my brother. She knew joining was my intention when we got together yet always opposed it. Eventually I realised that staying with her and always having her at my side was more important than joining the marines. What's the real reason to want to join? As you can do everything they offer you whilst still having a normal job anyway.

Look at it from her perspective
-
If it had been your wife I would have said listen to her.

1 Reply1. What's this have to do with Destiny? 2. Join or don't, that's your choice. 3. -blam!- bitches, get money.

2 RepliesComing from a girl who is a military brat. I think you should talk with her and discuss all the good and the bad and if it's your dream then join. If she doesn't support your dream then I think...
-
I wouldn't want to get drafted to an actual conflict later on. I know things aren't exactly mellow right now but if shit hits the fan (e.g. WWIII) I'd rather run the other way.
-
Bro go trust me

It's not her life, it's yours.

I didnt even read before i voted just voted yes its what u should do just ignore her

Hopefully, you have done all your research. You have to do what you want. Don't ask her to marry you like a lot of Marines do when they go in. Lots of divorces and cheating. I had an awesome gf but once I went in it just wasn't realistic to stay together. It's a whole different reality. You will save yourself a lot of trouble if realize how tough it is to have a successful relationship while serving. I joined without talking to a single person knowing that only I could answer the question if I wanted to join. Try to talk to some Marines(not recruiters) and they will tell you the good and bad. However you decide good luck:-)

I am a US Marines vet, best 5 years of my life so far, traveled to many countries and now have free education towards my bachelors and a sweet job:) if it's what you want go for it. Very honorable job.
-
if you wanna join the marines, then you -blam!-ing do it! its your life my friend, she should be supporting you! your giving up several years of your life to defend her selfishness and right to be selfish. i support you and your desire to join the marines! you do what your heart wants to do! dump her sorry ass and go get your dream!
-
Not depend on a vote on a forum.
-
3 RepliesWell if you join and you want to stay together you will have to make her your wife. If she doesn't want a military life your marriage will end almost guaranteed. I see it all the time. Also you should probably ask close friends not randos on the destiny forum lol
-
Its personal. If she doesn't want it in her life, and it makes you happy... Dude, you gotta do you. Make yourself happy and find someone who will do what it takes to see you happy, even if it is the Marines.

2 Replies10/10 lying, not joining marines 10/10 no gf 10/10 not #offtopic Worthless op is worthless.

If you want to stay with her and you are planning on getting married to her, you shouldn't join. There are so many bad situations that I have personally seen friends go through because their wives could not handle the stress of being a military spouse. This would also add a ton more stress on you in an already stressful situation if you are deployed knowing you don't have support back home. You need to be focused so you or your buddy doesn't end up dead because your mind is somewhere else. If you are dead set on joining the military you should not stay with her.
