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?

1 ReplyThat's cause she doesn't wanna have to bang some random dude while you're away. Save her the guilt and stay.

Well if she was your wife then thats a different story.

If you have the grades, you might consider going to a college that has Navy, Air Force, or Army ROTC. Regardless, dump her. Women like a man in uniform, and if she is one of those insane, indoctrinated, antimilitary types, then you are better off without her and she is easy to replace.

Edited by cuzzybubba1: 1/5/2015 2:08:51 PMYour first problem is the fact that you are even considering your "girlfriends" opinion about your life. Judging from the post I'm guessing you're still young, if you are not considering marrying this girl then her opinion is invalid.

1 ReplyWhat you want should come first ultimately. Deeper consideration would be needed if you were married, but she's only your GF. Still though, take consideration on her part, no matter how long you've been together, but ultimately it rests on what you feel would be best for you. As a side question: What's her issue with the military?

If you are letting a piece of pussy cloud your judgment and put yourself in a conflict against your dreams, then the Marines isn't a great path for you. You better start developing nerves of steel if you want to join the Marines.

GFs come and go. Unless you're going to put a ring on it cuz she's the love of your life, then I say follow your dreams, dude. The only women you should really heed are your mom, your grandma and your wife. Not necessarily in that order. But honestly, seek counsel from your parents, your religious representative of your choosing, a teacher or professor you respect, etc. You know, real people not on a video game forum. There are few higher callings than serving in the military, so thanks for that!

May I propose a 3rd option? You ask her why not and whatever she responds with tell her you don't blame it on the sunshine, you don't blame on the moonlight, you don't blame it on the good times, you blame it on the boogie. Let me know how you get on bro bear

Are you marrying her? Is she the mother of your children? Is she pregnant (with your child)? If the answer to those questions is no, then she isn't anyone to be telling you what to do. It is your life. You owe nothing to anyone. You do what makes you happy. If she can't back you up and denies what you need to do for yourself to be happy in life, then she is not the one, leave her, and go live your life your way.

This doesn't belong here.

Unfortunately that's one of those new career/ new girlfriend choices! Only you can decide that!

Ditch the bitch live your dream

2 RepliesYou would literally be signing your life away. But you know.... some people like being a slave.

how old are you?

To be honest, if your resolve can be shaken so easily, maybe you shouldn't.

This has nothing to do with this video game. Please relocate to the appropriate topic placement.

You messed up already. I am planning to join the marines after a i finish my major which I'm only 5 classes away from. I didn't decide to join until freshmen year of college. Before I started dating my now girlfriend I had told her from the get go that I was going to join and made it clear to her it's what I wanted to do. You should have told her from the beginning that mistake was in your part.

4 RepliesDon't join. Its sick that grown men send young boys to fight their wars for them in the name of greed and all that is evil.

I did 6 years in the military. When you go, she'll leave you/-blam!- around so either hope she doesn't it ditch her ass now. Get the gi bill and go to college. Besides, you want to be with a girl who tells you what to do? You gunna let her change the channel to lifetime on you too? Nip this in the butt.

I was in. If someone can convince you so easily to question it, I doubt you're ready.

4 RepliesShe's just your girlfriend, not your wife. There's plenty of fish in the sea, but only one United States Marine Corps. If she really loves you, she'll come around and support you. If not, then maybe you're not meant to be together.
-
Committing to the military is as big a life commitment as there is. You must both decide how much you love each other AND what type of lifestyle you each can put up with. If you MUST join the military and she REFUSES to be a military wife then it's over between you two - plain and simple.
