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?
-
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
-
Leave her before you join you don't need that stress when your trying to accomplish your dream. Good luck with whatever you decide to choose

1 ReplyPassing fling, or someone you plan on spending the rest of your life with? That should be your decision maker, imo.

If you want to do it, do it. Don't let a girl hold you back from doing what you want. I left a girl behind when I joined the Marines, and honestly, she doesn't even cross my mind anymore. I'm assuming you're 18. You've got your whole damn life to meet women. If she doesn't respect your life goals she doesn't deserve you. Good luck little future devil pup. (I can't call you a disgusting recruit yet)

If she won't support you in achieving your greatest goal then kick her to the curb.

If she doesnt support your dream in the first place shes not worth sticking around for and it makes not sense that she wont support you fighting for her freedom. If you do join good luck and thank you for your service!!!

How long have you been with her and do you see yourself marrying her? If not, join.
-
do what you dream to do man! goodluck with it and if you do join stay safe and thank you!

8 RepliesNot ask random people on a video game forum to make a life changing decision for you. I think that's a good choice.

if she aint acceptin shes a control freak

Edited by Swiftlock: 1/5/2015 5:01:25 AMIf she fiercely opposes your lifelong dream and isn't willing to compromise, then you dump her ass and move on with your life. Someone who disagrees with your deepest aspirations is not relationship material.
-
If she isn't willing to support you in things you want to do, why keep her around?
-
If it's been a dream, I would definitely say go for it. I to have a dream of joining the Air Force, I always have. If she was caring enough she would understand.

Poor people fighting other poor people simply because the rich and powerful don't get along with each other and/or want to stay rich and powerful. It's stupid if you ask me.
-
Hell man do what you want, if she's really there for you she'll support you.
-
First off, how old? How long you been together?

Unless you've been dating this girl forever and plan on marrying her talk to her, but if not then why let her tell you how to live your life? And if she truly loves you she'll support the decision and stand by you no matter what, but that's just one mans opinion
-
Lots of ladies don't want the military life. You should do what's best for you and your family, and let her do the same.
-
You should post this stuff in the proper category. That's what I would do.
-
If you want to join then do it. I let my mother and wife talk me out of it and I regret it every day
