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?
-
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.

If you ate going in the Marines go ahead and leave her. I'm only 24 got out of the Marines in 2013. Over 75% of guys i served with are divorced. If you are going in the Marines. YOU WANT TO BE SINGLE!!!! Trust me. All the traveling and etc. You want to be single. I can't tell how many times i have given this advice and....after being in the Marines for 6 months the guys got married...6 months later they are divorced and giving half of their checks to cheating ex-wives. (No im not one of them lol) just remember.....STAY SINGLE!!!!

If she really loved you, she'd let you follow your dreams, whether that meant that you're together in the end or not. It's not like you own each other. You're supposed to [b][u]support[/u][/b] each other. With that said, if you really think she's worth it, then stay. There's no definite answer that anyone can give you, unfortunately. You have to make that decision on your own. Just think long and hard about it.

2 RepliesIf you aren't sure of either of those things, you don't want it bad enough. So leave her, and don't join the marines. Then come back to career choices and relationships when you have the balls.

Get a new girlfriend. You should be commended for your interest in serving your country.
-
Why is this a destiny topic again?
-
What are your reasons for wanting to join?
-
Tell her you're seeing someone else. Someone you don't have to join the Marines to get the hell away from. Wait. What was the goal here?

1 ReplyIs this something that you'll regret for the rest of your life, if you don't do? Have you thoroughly researched and talked to Marines? Being a military gf/wife is extremely difficult. You're alone most of the time, have to move to wherever they tell you, and constantly have to worry and wonder if you're SO is going to come back and if they're going to be the same person that left. If this is something that you want and feel that you cannot live without, then join. She should understand and accept your life decisions, dreams and goals. However, you should understand and accept that she doesn't want the military lifestyle, so it'll probably be the end of your relationship. Good luck in whatever you choose, dude.

Join the Marines and give her my phone number

Edited by Namiwakiru: 1/5/2015 5:05:51 AMIt's a hard life man, for those who go and those who stay behind. There is really no selfish decision. It's something you guys will have to talk about because in the end you guys are the only ones the decision will affect. (And I'm not sure somebody who brings his problems to a game forums is really the kind of thing they want in a marine)

If lts truly your dream follow it.
-
It sounds to me that you need to deport her ass. If she is telling you that you cant join the Marines and serve your country she doesnt belong here. The second point is that as a veteran myself if you have to question enlisting in the first place those who serve do so as they feel a deep personal conviction to their country to serve. Besides most girlfriends cant keep their legs closed and stay faithful anyway.
-
Follow your dreams. If she doesn't respect you, your dreams or your feelings, she's not worth keeping anyway.

1 ReplyNot to be a dick but a few of my buddies that joined their women cheated or left ... I didn't decide to join but to each their own
-
She'd probably leave anyway I dumped my girl before I went into the Corps
-
Where was the breakup option
-
Do it dude! I wanna be a Navy SEAL!
-
Do what's in the best interest of you. Life is too short to not follow your dreams.
-
Give up your lifelong dream and don't join. You're not Marine material.
-
Depends on how much you value her and how much you value joining the marines.
-
I spent 4 years in the Marine Corps and it was one of the most challenging/rewarding experiences of my life. I'd say do whatever would leave you with no regrets
